3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20 rickgordon (3815) - Göteborg, SWEDEN - MAY 25, 2009
Bottled. Thanks to Anders Holmskär.
Black colour with huge head. The hoparoma is intense, with hard, grassy, green, almost pepper-like hops. Due to the hard (dry)hopping, the darker malts get less outspoken. Here is licorice most prominent. Flavour brings more maltiness. Big licorice, along with dakr, peppery chocolate. The attenuation seems a bit low, just like the Ølfabrikken brews. That’s not a problem with me, as long as the beers are this tasty. Good hoppy flavour along with a solid bitter finish. On a first glance, I would call this an Imperial Porter, just like the heavily hopped Gonzo. Great beer nevertheless!
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20 rane (781) - Nibe, DENMARK - MAY 25, 2009
Bottle. Black with huge brown head. Aroma fresh hopy wit a little sweetness and after a while roasted malts. Taste roasted malts a little coffee and some hops to finish things off. Palate thick and syrupy. Another interesting beer from Beer Here. Somewhere on the border between American strong ale and Imperial Stout by my opinion, but the brewer says ASA. Lorteøllene er efterladt hos Ølfabrikken, og de gode fortsætter hos Beer Here.

4.3 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20 NosirIwont (1721) - Aalborg Vestby, DENMARK - MAY 22, 2009
Bottle. Thanks to Enjoyit. Pours black with a firm light brown head. Some lacing. Aroma is roasted with pine hops; like a mix of a stout and an (I)IPA. Well-balanced and very nice. Flavour is pretty much like the aroma; again; well-balanced and very nice. Finish is a lingering bitterness with roasted and tart notes. Soft palate with a touch of too much carbonation; otherwise very good. A beer like this could have been quite cloying in the long run, but surprisingly isn’t at all. A great beer. 22-05-09.
