tarjei (1131), Bryne, Norway Jun 13, 2008 On tap at Dalane Brygghus, Egersund, Norway. Brown color, nice beige head. Aroma is malty and fruity, with a kind of sourness. Flavor is malt, fruit, hints of smoke. Moderate hops. Beer_2000 (1164), Kristiansand, Norway May 18, 2008 500 ml bottle, courtesy of Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. Clear, deep reddish brown body with a medium beige head. Aroma is distinct malt, caramel, hop and fruit. Flavor is malty, some caramel, hops and a hint of chocolate. A slightly roasted impression and a dry biscuit finish. Very nice and balanced, actually it reminds my a bit of a slightly lighter version of Søgaard Brown Ale (with less chocolate). Sigmund (1896), Hafrsfjord, Norway Mar 8, 2008 500 ml bottle, courtesy of Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. ABV is 5.7%. Dark brown to chestnut colour, large and lasting creamy beige head. Complex aroma of malts, bakery, nuts, some spices, caramel and fruits. The flavour is malty and nutty with some caramel, some fruitiness too, hints of chocolate. Not much bitterness. A good try from Dalane.
