Can, courtesy of Cunningham. Best before 20210514, so I guess I'm not opening it too early. It's lightly carbonated, leaving a thin dark beige head. Dark brown body, seems lightly hazy. The aroma is sure of the malty kind, with toffee, dark dried fruit, chocolate and some coffee. Hints of brown sugar and licorice, or perhaps more in the direction of molasses. There's alcohol going on too, but in a very gentle way. It's warming on the palate though, full-bodied and nicely carbonated, with more sweetness than bitterness. Both present though. The flavor has lots of toffee and a good dash of dark chocolate and some dark dried fruit. Alcohol, coffee and brown sugar, with some piney hoppy hints. Quite sweet, but dries up a bit towards the finish. A really nice one, thanks a lot Henrik. 240709

Nice and dangerously easy drinkable dobbelbock. Clear deep amber pour and a fine beige head. Good lacing. Fine intensity in the aroma. Balanced sweetness and a fine carbonation level. Toffee, dried fruits and some chocolate in the flavor. Some alcohol coming up. [Can from The Brewery]

Can. Thx to whoever from Jæren I got this, highly appreciated. The best before date was difficult to read, but looks like some time in Nov 2028 or 2019. No problem for this beer, it's still smashing. Not much oxidation going on either. Roasted malts, toffee, molasses, some coffee and licorice and a hint of dark dried fruit in the aroma. Just a vague hint of alcohol even though it's at double digits ABV. It's full-bodied, lightly warming and very softly carbonated, quite sweet, yet with a dryish touch. Roasted malts, molasses, dark chocolate, toffee, prune, raisin and some bitterness in the flavor. Brown sugar notes towards the end, along with a good dash of salty licorice and some alcohol. Warming and long lasting finish. Sure a fine one, pity Ego closed down, they brewed quite a few fine beers. 240405
