For me one proper and honest beer review is more worth than 100 ticks without any relevant content. It’s all about respect for the beer and the craftmanship behind. I will always try to do my best for a proper rating than playing the number game.

Tap @ Nødingen Påskekro. Clear, deep amber body under a small, fading beige head. Aroma of dark malt, dry red fruit, wood and vinous alcohol. Taste goes in the same direction with sweet, dark malt, red fruits, wood, alcohol and tannin bitterness. Balanced body with long lasting, pleasant aftertaste. Not too sweet and nice, warming alcohol that’s almost modest in Nøgne Ø scale. Looking forward to taste a slighter more matured version in a few more months’ time.

Bottle @ Nødingen Påskekro (from the vintage shelf). Deep amber body under a thin, lacing beige head. Aroma is quite alcoholic, but in a pleasant way. Dark caramel malt, dry fruit, vanilla, Bourbon and wood. Complex taste with sweet malt, toffee, oak, vanilla, Bourbon, balanced bitterness and warming alcohol. Fine body with forever lasting aftertaste. A really nice sipper with several layers of taste.

Backlog March 2009. Clear, golden body under a dense white head. Mild aroma of malt and fruity hops. Taste is weak malt, grain, some grass, hint of fruit and low bitterness. Thin body with short aftertaste. Not very interesting.

Backlog November 2013. Clear, pale golden body under a big, creamy white heat. Lively carbonation. Aroma is a bit mild with tropical fruits, grass and chewing gum. Taste has mild, smooth pale malt, mild citric fruit, grass, white sugar and medium bitterness. Medium body and average aftertaste. Decent, but I prefer the original Duvel.

Backlog November 2013. Reddish amber body under a dense, medium sized beige head. Aroma of sweetish malt, dry fruit and caramel. Taste is almost intense with sweet malt, caramel, dry fruit and citric fruity hops. Fine body with a long lasting sweet and bitter aftertaste. Kind of nice in a non-typical way.

Can @ home. Slightly unclear, golden body under a small, but lacing white head. Aroma has malt, citric fruits, pear and hint of toffee. Taste is sweet malt, some caramel, a bit boozy, marmalade, perfumed and quite bitter. Balanced body with an average length aftertaste that feels sweet and bitter. Surprisingly big difference between what to expect from aroma and actual taste here. Decent, but feels a bit messy in taste.

Bottle @ home. Unclear deep amber body under a small, dense tan head. Strong and slightly boozy aroma with malt, wood, dry fruit and whisky. Taste is balanced sweet malt, dry fruit, wood, whisky, warming alcohol and balanced bitterness. Fine body with long lasting aftertaste. Aroma and first sip may feel a bit raw and alcoholic, but it falls into place as the flavours settle in. Nice sipper.

Can @ home. Slightly unclear reddish golden body under a fading off-white head. Aroma has malt, bread and acidic fruit. Taste is sweet and sour with malt, bread, dry fruit, plum, kveik and some acidity. Balanced body with a refreshing aftertaste. Nice and really easy drinkable beer. As a sour bock this reminds med neither of a bock nor typical sour beer, but has a fine balanced where it’s not very acidic but more in the direction of refreshing acidic. Easy drinkable and balanced all the way. Could easily have a few of this.

Backlog November 2013. Clear golden body under a fine, dense white head. Medium aroma of malt and generic fruit. Taste is sweet malt, distinct fruity hops, but not very strong nor particular bitter. Medium body and average aftertaste. Decent, but quite plain/straight forward.
