larsga (2145), Oslo, Norway May 15, 2007 Biggish light brown head. Deep dark red body, barely translucent. Light roasty licorice aroma with a papery background. Sweetish roasty licorice taste with earthy notes. Mouthfeel is kinda thin, yet clean. Dry, burnt, sooty metallic licorice aftertaste. (Letting this beer warm up makes a major difference in aroma and taste.) Lacking in complexity, feels like a lager. Not that much taste to this one. I think I prefer their dark lagers. (0.33l bottle.)
espenra (105), Oslo, Norway Aug 21, 2008 33cl bottle from ICA. It poured a dark brown colour with a big beige foamy head that settled down fast in the glass. The aroma smells of burned malts, raisins and liqorice. It has a bitter flavour that tastes of malts, caramel and water. It has a short aftertaste. NosirIwont (864), Aalborg Vestby, Denmark Jul 3, 2008 Bottle. 24 days past ’best before’. Pours a clear dark brown with a big frothy off-white/light brown head. Sweet malty aroma. Hops appear as it warms. Not very stout-like. Sweetish malty flavour. Finish is where this beer mostly resembles a stout; sweet, a bit roasted and with some alcohol. But feels rather thin. Overall this is more like a dark Czech or German-type beer than a stout. Still okay though, albeit not too interesting. 03-07-08.
