bottle thanks to mora2000 on ba. deep chocolate with a cream head. smoke, nuts, caramel and sweet malts on the nose. nice thickness with a spicy malt flavor as well as caramel and dried fruits.

Thanks to my brother for bringing this one to me from Lafayette. Pours dark brown with a beige head. Aroma is roasted malt with some chocolate. You also get some alcohol. Flavor is a lot of smoky dark fruit as well as some roasted malt. Medium mouthfeel and high drinkability.

Bottle. Pours a dark brown color with a light tan head. Roasted malt aroma with some light spice and some caramel. I gotta say. I love Nogne beers. Very complex taste with some roasted malt, chocolate, and a light chocolate presence. Very good beer for the holidays. Bought for the holiday party I went too!

0,5 l bottle. Color is a very dark brown, with a big foamy beige head. Nose is roasted malts, spices and hops. Flavor is malty with dark tones such as coffee, chocolate and roasted malts. The brew has a nice balance as the finish is dominated by hops. All in all a great winter warmer.

Bottle. Pours a dark, opaque brown, almost black. A sizable beige head lingers and leaves plenty of sticky suds on the glass wall. Aroma is fruity, citrus, dark fruits, chocolate, herbal spices and some smoke. Nice. Initially sweet, with loads of sweet fruits and spicy notes, with a solid citric and herbal hop finish. The 09 batches are perhaps a bit too fresh still. A tad too aggressively hopped. Will rerate with a 08 bottle later on. Thick and full bodied, with smooth carbonation. Very good.

RnH: Extreme Winter: No. That’s all I have to say about this beer. No. Oh yeah and: sample with Pwn3d... bitter, grassy and offensive aftertaste... highly overrated.

Pours very dark brown with a medium tan head. Aroma is a bit spicy with roasted malts. Flavor is heavily roasted malts with some spices and some hops in the finish. Exactly what you could expect from a nogne christmas beer. Enjoyable.
