3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
My undated bottle poured with a very high degree of sediment which leads me to believe it may have been a the shelf a bit long. All the same, this was an enjoyable quaff ... big-bodied sweet malty beer with a distinct tone of peat, light smoke and raisins. Different.

500 ml bottle from Vaaland, Bryne. Pours a misty golden body with a rocky, off-white head that shrinks from an inch to a speckled head, leaving excellent lacing. Herbal, fruity, sprucy honey nose. Inviting. Medium bodied and smooth. Well hopped for it’s low strength, not overdone at all. Bitter and a little malty. The bitterness is the kind you get from the white part of citrus peel. Quite enjoyable.

50 cl bottle. Pours a white sticky head. Kind of shady pilsener color. Aroma of leaves and yeast. Nice and grainy flavour. This is not bad at all!

UPDATED: MAR 28, 2012 Ormai l’amaro tende a catturare molti proseliti. Purtroppo è anche vero che l’amaro nasconde quegl’altri sapori tradizionali della birra classica. Con l’Ossian non accade. Per fortuna, aggiungerei. Corpo fruttato con leggero aroma aranciato e un qualcosa di frutta secca. L’amaro c’è ma non impedisce la fuoriscita di altri aromi. Un plauso a questo birrificio in effetti. E un ringraziamento anche all’Ossian bardo del medioevo che ha dato il nome a questa birra.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle at The Flying Horse.
Pours golden with a pillowy head.
Taste of honney, orange cest and lemon.
Freh but bitter and hevier than the abv indicates.
A bit like a more bitter Trashy Blond.
3.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours a slightly cloudy light amber color with a smallish white head that dissipates quickly but covers the glass in a fair amount of sticky lace. Smells malty bready with a hint of butterscotch and nail polish. Sweet dark pitted fruit and a hint of toffee round out the nose quite well. Taste is sweet and malty with a bit of bread and toffee up front. Lots of butterscotch coated berries and cherries in here. Slightly earthy hop barely cuts through malty sweetness. Surprising fullness of body for such a small abv. Moderate level of carbonation and a sweet almost oily mouthfeel. Not to shabby of a beer, if it were a bit easier to obtain I might have one periodically.
