COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
This beer has its orgin in the Bavarian beer type ’festbier’ or ’oktoberfestbier’. Like ’festbier’ and ’vienna style beer’, Nils Oscar Kalasöl is of a somewhat darker type. The Nils Oscar Kalasöl is produced with both münchenermalt, dark caramelmalt, chocolatmalt and some roasted barley. The choice of hops is a mix of four kinds where the most characteristic are brittish fuggles, american cascade and czech saaz.
Kalasöl is a rounded beer with a mildly roasted breadish character. It can be recommended together with heavy foods, like joints of roast meat, spicy stews, broiled meat and fowl.

tkrjukoff (2285) - SWEDEN - MAY 4, 2011
Pours clear rubish amber with a bubby tanned head leaving nice lacing. Aroma is malty, molassis, roasted, hay, hoppy and bready. Big fullbodied malty mouhfeel. Excellent flavor; roasted, very malty, biscuits, caramel, a bit fruity. Well balanced, medium body. Finishes fruity sweet with nice tart aftertaste.

jesperhammer (1294) - Copenhagen, DENMARK - APR 26, 2011
23-APR-2011, bottle @home, brought by Morten, from Systembolaget. Mahogany, low (almost no) beige head. Malty, fruity, and bock-like with bready stuff. Very thin. Very boring.

Rciesla (5500) - Exit 15W, New Jersey, USA - MAR 27, 2011
Bottle. Pours an amber body with a white head. Light hoppiness, earth, sazz, and floral tones. Mildy sweet malty tones, caramel and light roasted malt tones. Light toasted malt tones, a bit burnt and very bread y. Average offering.

Mad_Ferret (460) - SWEDEN - FEB 7, 2011
Bottle. Clear chestnut mahogany colour with a dirt white head that leaves nice lacings. Aroma is malty with a buttery tone, a bit aquarium, and some hops. Reminds me of Jämtlands beers. Taste is malty, rich and quite sweet. Some hop action that, too bad, gives it a weedy sour feel. The carbonation is a bit fizzy. Body is a bit too weak. Damn, I remembered this as a much better beer. I might be off my feet today.

SirLimpsalot (843) - SWEDEN - FEB 1, 2011
Doft: Bröd, papp och malt Smak: Smakar mycket jord, korn och fruktansvärd mycket våt papp Vätskan ger mig en mycket torr munkänsla. Eftersmak: Lite bitterbesk och absolut inte rolig.

cmonster (611) - Portland, Oregon, USA - JAN 30, 2011
Bottle served in a lager glass. Pours orange-amber in color with a short khaki head. Basic retention and lacing. Bright, sweet aroma of raisin, caramel, barley, dense bread, and other malt notes. Could pass for a barley wine on the nose. Shocking! Medium sweet flavor. Not as big as the nose. Acting more like a vienna now. Still, nice quality here. Medium body, oily-thin texture, average carbonation, and a dry, bitter finish.

Koyo (239) - SWEDEN - JAN 22, 2011
Bottle from Systembolaget. Aroma hints of coffee and the roasted malts in the brew hints with their presence. Not much hops in the aroma though. Taste carries notes of coffee and a slight sweetness, it rounds off with a medium hoppiness. This is a nicely balanced brew that goes excellent with food.
