On tap@brewpub. Pours dark ruby red with a big off-white head. Aroma of fruity wheat, alcohol,yeast,caramel, coriander and malt. Flavor is sweet and warming with some malty caramel notes. Medium body, average carbonation. Not as good as the original.

On tap at Amundsen. A dense , finger thick beige head sits on top of a clear copper colored body. The aroma hasa solid dose of coriander, with some caramel maltyness. Smooth, but a bit thin on the palate, some warmth. Coriander, lime, maltyness and some caramel in the flavor. Decent bitterness in the finish. Well, quite decent, but a bit bland compared to the original. 111014

Hazy brown colour with an off white head. Sweet nose. Hard to make up my mind about this. We agreed that it tasted bubblegum and alcohol. Light fruity and some caramelmalt.

On tap at Amundsen 14.10.11. Red brown colour with a beige head. Aroma is alcohol, malt, fruit, caramel, coriander, spices. Flavour is sweet, alcohol,malt, hop, caramel, fruit, coriander. Nice beer.

On tap @ Amundsen 2011.11.14 Dark reddish amber body with a small tan head and big bubbles. Aroma of wheat, spices, soap and alcohol. Flavor is sweet, fruity, bitter and alcohol. There is definitively a lot of things going on here, not so easy to define. It’s an interesting beer, less fruity and coriander than the previous Nøgne Ø version. That version tasted a lot more balanced after about one year’s storage. We will probably never know what some storage might do to this version.

amundsen/Nøgne Ø Imperial dunkel wit. On tap at the brewpub. Dark brown offwhite head. lots of malt sweetness. strong with rather rich body. Wheaty. Notes of lemon and coriander. Very good and powerful wit!

On tap @ Amundsen Bryggeri og Spiseri, Oslo. Dark, red-amber body, small white head. Weird wheaty, nougat-like sweet caramel tones with hints of herbs, black berries and hints of butterscotch. Taste is near-smokey malty tones with spicy herbal notes, wheat and black currants. Drinkable and original, but like its predecessor (made exclusively by Nøgne Ø) this is a beer that is going in too many directions, ending up nowhere.

500 ml draught at Amundsen. Hazy brown. Medium-sized light beige head. Spicy peppery nose with hints of coriander. Some banana as well. Yeasty notes. I think this beer would do good with some more lagering. Bready malty flavours. Dark caramel and black pepper. There is clearly a bit of coriander in here, but more would not hurt.

On tap @ Amundsen, Oslo. Pours a clear deep deep red body with a great looking creamy and lasting beige head lacing down the glass. Aroma is really fruity, fruit-yeasty like almost all the beers I’ve had from Amundsen. Notes of dried fruits, strawberries, bubblegum and sweet banana. Average carbonation, quite full-bodied and it has a thick, creamy and chewy mouthfeel - just the way I like it. Flavors are really smooth, quite fruity - like in dried fruits - and lightly sweet. The heat from the alcohol is burning quite clearly at first, but the after a while it’s just calming and warming. Not bad!

Coca cola color, creamy head. Malt, herbs, rather medical. Liquorice, cough syrup. Not very balanced.

From tap @ Grünerløkka Mat & Mikroølfestival. Opaque dark brown with ruby edges. Low beige cream head. A nice blend of fruits and soft dark malts in the aroma. Also a discreet whiff of coriander. Big and smooth malt body, nicly balanced by fruits, dark malts and a mild bitterness. Mild spices in the ending. No disturbing alcohol. A lovely beer.
