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.

(bottle) Orange color with some sediment. Burnt-caramel maltiness with subtle hoppiness underneath. Chewy mouthfeel. I did not have high expectations for this beer, but that was a mistake. It’s a nice, solid beer. I would classify this as a ’table’ beer b/c of it’s relatively low alcohol content. However, it has the flavor of a higher-alcohol beer.

Ambet with white head - strong malty taste, hints of caramelsome roasted notes - distinct hoppy flavor - very nice and drinkable

drpimento (1695) - La Crosse, Wisconsin, USA - SEP 12, 2009
Got this bottle a few months ago at Sam’s in Chicago; hasn’t been kept chilled. And perhaps it should have been. Think it’s gone bad as it has some definite sourness. Poured with a tan head that quickly subsided and no lace. Aroma is just plain malty beer. Color isn’t that great - hazy medium to dark amber. Flavor is like aroma but yeasty bitter plus the sour. Body is ok and so is carbonation. Can’t finish it tho.

Indra (2323) - Overland Park, Kansas, USA - SEP 9, 2009
330ml bottle. Bready, lightly sweet, caramel aroma, very lightly fruity and spicy. Cloudy medium-dark red-orange color, head is fine and lasting. Flavor profile is nicely balanced between the caramel and sugary malt sweetness, background dried fruitiness, lightly spicy, herbal hop and moderate bitterness. Lingering caramel malt flavors late. Smoothly effervescent and thin on the palate with a light-medium body. Quite drinkable and a very good example of the style.

thedm (4118) - Fort Wayne, Indiana, USA - SEP 5, 2009
This bottled brew from a bottle shop poured a medium sized head of foamy fine to medium sized bubbles that were and left behind a transparent softly carbonated golden and thick foamy lacing. The aroma was malty and bready. The crisp mouth feel was weakly tingly at the start and at the finish hoppy aftertaste. The flavor contained notes of hops.
