The word "Aass" means "summit" in Norwegian. Brewed using double-decoction, then lagered for 5-6 months.

[1] Review by oh6gdx from Vaasa, Finland who has tried this beer a couple times. (3/26/2007 2:03:40 AM)
"(6.5% ABV version). Very dark amber colour, small beige foamy head. Aroma is caramellish malty with weak hints of alcohol. Flavour is malty, metallic and some honey and weak hops in finish. Palate is a bit sticky. A good beer which is quite wellbalanced."

[2] Review by Gromit from Port Orchard, WA, USA who has tried this beer (3/4/2006 12:23:54 PM)
"A very typical example of the style, only a bit better. Actually, it's a very good example. Pours a brown color with a decent head leaving some lacing. As it warms, it reminds me of a cola that has lost the carbonation. Smells of a toasted malt with a faint hint of hops. Taste is typical. Again, toasted (okay, roasted) malts. Some fruits are present as well. Coffee teases the tongue. Mouthfeel is better than average as it's a bit fuller than usual and it has a nice mineral mouthfeel. Drinkability is pretty good as well. This is one of the best bocks I've had and well worth the search."

"traveling along a sea of creamy cherries...riding a raft of licorice root in a storm of raining cola drops..
Metallic cherry scrapings..licorice hail..smooth but thick but refreshingly not so thick..all at the same time"

[5] Review by Clash from Chattanooga, TN, USA who has tried this beer once. (3/4/2004 12:35:09 AM)
"Dark brown appearance with a red tint. Aroma is chocolate and caramel quite a nice sniffer. Flavor is sweet with some caramel and chocolate notes. A slight bitterness in the finish. I was nervous buying this one because of the green bottles with dust on them but it turned out to be quite nice. I would make a childish comment on the name of this beer but I will refrain. NICE AASS! Sorry I couldn't resist.
