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.

Bottle @ home. Pitch black body under a moderate sized beige head. Aroma hos quite much alcohol, I guessed Aquavit but the label says Armagnac. Aroma has also dark roasted malt, oak, chocolate and hint of vanilla. Taste is boozy as well, but in a nice way, especially when prepared for this within a 14,5% ABV beer! Quite smooth dark, roasted medium sweet malt, balancing bitterness, dark chocolate, oak and hint of vanilla. Fine body with a long lasting, alcoholic warming aftertaste. A rather boozy stout, but made the way Nøgne makes wonderful flavors appears. I actually had this for dinner (chicken) instead of desert, and it worked out just nicely. A beer that will probably benefit from a year or more in the cellar.

Can @ home. Clear pale golden body under a small white head. Aroma of lemon juice. Taste is mostly lemon juice, not too sweet and not very acidic. Only a weak impression of beer. Not great as a Radler but very refreshing and nice ad a thirst quencher after working in the garden.

Tap @ Melkebaren. Slightly unclear reddish golden body under a small, spotting white head with some lacing. Aroma of acidic raspberry and red berries candy. Taste is medium acidic, red berries, raspberry, candy and a faint hint of licorices (hockey powder). Not very acidic and not too much candy, quite refreshing.

Tap @ Melkebaren. Hazy yellow body under a lacing white head. Aroma is juicy – tropical fruits. Taste is sweet and juice with tropical fruits and low bitterness. Some zesty bitterness. Medium body and same aftertaste. Refreshing, but feels a bit one-dimensional after a few sips.

Can @ home. Slightly unclear golden body under a fine, medium sized white head. Aroma has citric fruit/yuzu with a malty background in a delicate and subtle way. Taste is smooth, soft malt, refreshing yuzy, fruity bitterness, zest, slightly lime acidity and hint of oranges. Medium body with a refreshing aftertaste. Nice and balanced with a certain fruity complexity without hiding the beer behind. Both interesting and nice.

Tap @ Melkebaren. Clear, slightly pink’ish red body under a small, fast disappearing white heat. Aroma of red berries, raspberries and moderate honey. Taste is sweet with a delicate, light acidity for balance. Red berries, mild honey and well-integrated alcohol. Body feels balanced and aftertaste is pleasant on the sweeter side.
