Kestral (487) - Årnes, NORWAY - AUG 10, 2009
Bottle. Pours black with a big beige head. Aroma is soft, chocolate, oatlike, some bitter coffee. Not a lot of smoke. Flavour’s got smoke, however. Not massive, but quite a bit. Coffee, smoke, wood, liquorice, burnt notes, akin to whiskey barrel aged ales. Quite bitter in the finish. A wee bit thin, but this is good.
