3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
06.01.2011. 0,5l Bottle. Thanks to Yngwie!Batch 428, Brewed 20.05.2009, BB 20.05.2013 Black colour with a thin layered off-white head. Burnt aroma at first with strong notes of bond fires and smoke. Very strong flavours of oak. This beer gets better the more you drink. This beer is strong, and full of flavours, but there is so much smoke in this one that other flavours dont reach out of the smoke. But as the label says: This is not a subtle beer. Since i like scotch, I have to say that this is a very interessting beer. Back there, at the end there is notes of vanilla and alcohol.

Pours mahogany-tinged black into an English pint. Tan head leaves trailing sheets. Peat and caramel aromas. Thick peat and oak upfront turning thin in the lasting smoky sweet toffee finish.
0.7 AROMA 1/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 1/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 1/20
In short: Cigarette butt candy and cheap whisky. Awful awful beer.
How: Bottle 500ml. No date. Probably over one year of age… hard to say.
The look: Cloudy dark mahogany body topped by a small beige head
In long: The repulsive nose is very smoked but smoked the wrong way, this smells like a big ashrey with 100 cigarette butts. Not only that but I got cheap whisky booze and gasoline. Scary aroma really. Taste is like eating a cigarette butt wrapped by a barley candy. Highly phenolic, hospical plastic gloves, other stuff. I really wanted to write an exhaustive description but I just couldn’t get passed the first few sips of my glass. Drain pour, undoubtly a new entry in my bottom-50. That beer had more problems than a dude who gets an erection watching a cat lick itself.

Bottle split with mcberko. Pours murky dark brown/black with a golden yellow tinge. Aroma of peat, whiskey, smoke, wood, roasted malt. Flavour of peat, whiskey, lots of ash, smoke, wood, roasted malts, some syrup-like backing. Dry mouth feel. Smoky and dirty yet nicely balanced and savoury. Would prefer a fuller body though. Nice.

500mL bottle, pours a dark brown with a reddish tinge and a tiny ring of tan head. Aroma is a total peat / smoke bomb, with charred / smoked malts, ash, smoke, peat, etc. Flavour is totally dominated by the whiskey, with all of the aforementioned traits in the nose coming through even more pronounced on the palate - extremely ashy and smoky. Not my thing, but done well for what it is.

Bottle @ Yngwie’s, courtesy of Yngwie. Thanks for this disappeared gem, mate! :-) Deep brown, near black body with a small caramel head which disappears quickly. Nose is ashtray, cigarette butts, wood, tar, leather, coffee and dark malts. Hints of smoke and licorice. Taste is licorice, tar, wood, ashes, smoke, cigarette butts, dark malts and hints of caramel. Very nice and smokey, and a worthy finish to a splendid weekend at Sørlandet! Cheers to all the Kristiansand beer geeks, cya around in the future! :-)

Bottle shared by alexsadad06. Poured dark brown color with an average white head that mostly lasted with good lacing. Moderate to heavy smoke malty aroma. Moderate to heavy smooth texture and flat carbonation. Medium to heavy smoke, wood scotch sweet flavor to medium complex sweet finish of moderate to long duration. My expectations where met with a complex beer.
