Aug 27, 2009 500 ml bottle. Cloudy amber color, full frothy off-white head. Hoppy aroma with smoky notes. Smoky flavor with a touch of licorice and coffee. Full body, medium carbonation. It’s no Schlenkerla, but far from awful.

Aug 22, 2009 Bottle. Pours brown with a large head. The aroma and flavor of smoke are dominant, but they seem to have found a happy medium. I didn’t find the smoke to be too overwhelming even though I prefer a lighter smoke profile. Easy on the palate overall. I enjoyed it, but I should have saved it for a barbecue.

Aug 11, 2009 From a bottle at Eulogy in Philadelphia. Very smokey flavor and aroma. Pours a translucent brown with very little, off brown head. Heavy smokey or woody flavor with very little other flavorings. A quick and easy palate that doesn’t linger. Tastes like drinking a tree

Aug 9, 2009 I decided to give this one a shot to celebrate my new job. Up to this point I had yet to have a bad Norwegian beer. Poured a dark, cloudy brown with a nice, frothy tan head. Very odd smell to it and the taste was a little too smokey for my taste. I wont say this beer sucked ass but it was nowhere near the quality of the Nogne brews. I can’t believe I wasted $9 on a bottle of this.

Aug 2, 2009 Pours dark brown with a creamy beige head. The aroma is smoke, ash and berries. The aroma carries over to the flavour and the smoked malt and spicy juniper balances out nicely. Smooth, creamy mouthfeel and there’s subtle bitterness from the juniper. More smoke in the finish...a delicious traditional brew. (Bottle - big thanks to Dave!)

Jul 26, 2009 Bottle- Poured a copper brown with a thin foam off-white head. Smoked malts and wood. A slight sweet berry dryness blends with this smokey malt treat. Smoke em if you got em!
