4.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Roasted malt, honts of cold coffee, maybe tiramisu aroma.
Very dark, almost black (reddish brown against the light) beer with nice lon g stying creamy foam cap.
Strong roasted malt, hints of dark coca brewed in water, hops bring heather like bitterness that emphasizes the hints of bitter chocolate (of Marabou).
Palate is little viscose, not really oily and it lingers long on the root of the tongue.
Excellent season beer from this Norwegian brewery. Try also the other beers of this brewery. they really put some love into their beer brewing!

3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Head disappears quickly, as with most Nøgne Ø brews. Opaque brown. Aroma was a little lacking, maybe the beer was a bit too cold. Must give it another go sometime. Flavor is quite sweet, hint of burnt malt and liquorice. Maybe not quite there with their IS and IPA, but an excellent brew in its own right.
