yngwie	3.8 HaandBryggeriet / Crow Hop Tweak #10: NEIPA Can. An unclear orange colored beer with a finger-thick white head. Nice lacing. The aroma has lots of grapefruit and tropical fruit, with a piney touch and a vague hint of grass. It's medium bodied and quite dry on the palate, with a good bitterness. Grapefruit, generic tropical fruityness, some lemon zest, a flowery hint and a very light grassy and malty hints. Quite lasting finish. A refreshing and tasteful beer indeed. Quenching. 240509 Thursday, May 9, 2024

yngwie	3.6 HaandBryggeriet / Mikkeller Poor Exchange Rate Can. It's a golden colored very lightly hazed beer with a nice-looking firm white head, finger thick. Some foamy curtains. The aroma is quite spiced piney and grassy, some resiny hints too, along with a gentle touch of pale malts and even some hay. Typical lager character. It's full-bodied, lighlty chewy malty, with a quite soft carbonation and a pleasant bitterness. Piney, spiced and lightly grassy hops up front in the flavor, with a solid but flavorwise quite subdued maltyness in the back. A nice malty, biscuity sweetness in the finish, which is still dominated by the hops. Classic. 240423 Tuesday, April 23, 2024
yngwie	3.5 HaandBryggeriet HaandBayer Can. A crystal clear chestnut colored beer with a nice two-finger offwhite head leaving curtains. The aroma is on the malty side, with bread, dark dried fruit notes, toffee and a nutty, chocolatey touch. Sort of rye-spiced. It's medium bodied and semi-sweet, softly carbonated, with a very gentle carbonation. Nutty flavor with caramel, dark dried fruit, bread crust and some chocolatey hints. Medium length finish. Quite pleasant this one, but I'd sure like to see it at at least 5.5% ABV. 240421 Sunday, April 21, 2024

yngwie	4.3 HaandBryggeriet The Space Between the Stars Can. A oily pour reveals a black beer under a rather minimalistic beige head. The aroma is a bit boozy at first, but after a while it mellows, or the nose has gone dormant, with a good dash of coconut, vanilla and oak. Roasted malts, brown sugar, some licorice and notes of burnt malts and soy sauce. It's full-bodied, silky and quite warming on the palate, with enough bitterness to harness the sweetness. Some tannins too. The flavor is sweet and quite boozy, in a good way, with roasted malts, coconut, coffee, chocolate covered raisins, a light burnt hint and hints of soy sauce. Quite a lot of toffee too. Quite vinous all the way, from the first drop hitting the tongue, to long after the swallow. I can't say I'm really able to find the Barley Wine in this beer, although there's a a vague hint of a more hoppy beer when it warms up, but it's sure a treat anyway. A delicious and a bit different Imp Stout. 2402416 Tuesday, April 16, 2024

yngwie	3.6 HaandBryggeriet Hvermansen Pilsner Can. It's a clear one, or very, very lightly foggy, golden in color, with a white head. Some lacing. The aroma has a pleasant bready maltyness, a touch of hay and caramel, and some grass and generic fruityness. Lightly piney and peppery too. It's crisp and with a decent bitterness, more or less full bodied, and nicely carbonated. Quite fruity flavor too, with lemon notes, pine cones and a hint of grass. Pale malts in the back, with some bread and caramel. Medium length finish with a metallic touch. A pleasant pilsner indeed. 240414 Sunday, April 14, 2024

Holmen1	4.1 HaandBryggeriet The Space Between the Stars Når dette allerede har vært lagret i 3 år er det for så vidt ingen grunn til å vente lenger: nesten helt kullsort med kort skum. The interstellar space osv gir tilfører ingenting til denne ølopplevelsen, som i seg selv er sublim og med sitt generøse vitamininnhold effektivt skaper et lite halloi i mitt indre glockenspiel, så det er å bare lene seg tilbake og nyte hver dråpe i kontemplativ ro. Kanskje det interstellare rom er et fristed for den sunne og formålsløse glede? Bloody expensive but worth every penny. Wednesday, March 27, 2024
ChrisOfstad	4.1 HaandBryggeriet The Space Between the Stars 0,33 litre Can, from Vinmonopolet Lillehammer, ar home. Black with little head. Roasted malts, oak, bourbon, coffee, Chocolate, some booze. Probably Even better with cellaring! Wednesday, March 27, 2024
Beer5000	4 HaandBryggeriet Trolls vs Goats Can @ home. Clear, deep amber body under a small beige head that disappears quickly. Aroma has malt, caramel, bread, dry fruit and some alcohol. Taste is sweet and malty with dry fruit, toffee, warming alcohols and low bitterness. Fine body with long lasting, sweet malty aftertaste. Quite straight forward but really well made and really delicious. Sunday, March 24, 2024
Beer5000	4.2 HaandBryggeriet Dark Inception 3 - Salty Caramel Edition Superficial festival rating @ Rebel Beer Fest 2024. Black body under a small, lacing beige head. Appealing aroma of dark malt, coffee, mild caramel with a touch of nut cream. Taste is sweet, smooth, dark malt, gentle roasted, toffee, nuts, minerals and warming alcohol. Fine body with long lasting aftertaste. Very nice coffee flavor, normally not to keen on the pasty addition to god beer, but I found this one better than the regular Dark Inception, the coffee part is showcased better with the soft caramel/nut flavors.
