Nøgne Ø “1000” (10,00%) 4/6
Lade gaards «juleøl sterk» (6,5%) 3/6
There’s a very subtle aroma to this one, and a quite undistingushable one. Even though the colour is dark, the beer’s consitency seems quite light in the glass. Tastewise however, it is well mature and contains an interesting crossing of spices- all topped with an acidic hint at the back of the tongue and the palate. Though as expected, it’s a little thin- but it luckily maintains it’s caracter for a while.
Nøgne Ø «Special holiday ale» 2013 (8,5%) 4/6
The smell hits you right away here: Christmas- pastry. Kinda in a rasisin buns/pastry-like way, there is no doubt whatsoever. The beers colour is rather darkand seems to have a light consistency. This goes to show when it comes to taste as well; right down that same alley, with clove, pastry, cinnamon, Juniper and raisin. A great beer with direct referance to Christmas.
