Just before Christmas we brewed a new beer to honor the Norwegian legend that says that the sun turns on December 21, the shortest day of the year. Of course, the rest of the world argue that the sun doesn’t turn at all, but we do belive this Norwegian stubbornness is worth to salute with a beer! This smoked barley wine is brewed with 30% smoked malt and 20% rye and we know Kjetil had great fun playing with the recipe and finally ending up with a beer way out of style. The batch turned out to be rather small and Sunturnbrew will therefore only be available at our regular draft-locations in Norway and in US, where Shelton Brothers receive it in near future.

Very nice. Not much smokiness, more of a barley wine than smoked beer. -

Bottle from Vinmonopolet. Pours dark brown with a minimal off-white head. Aroma of smoke and wood with malt and caramel. Complex with a full body. Quite sweet, but well balanced. Warming alcohol. Nice!

Courtesy of Blazer06. Pours clear amber with thin off white head. The aroma has sweet malts, caramel chewiness, a bit of cherry and then moving toward smoke and a bit of band-aid. The taste begins with chewy thick sweet malts, smokiness and peat all coming together with semi smooth harmony. By midway the mild smokiness backs off to little more than a memory leaving tasty thick maltiness and a hint of dark fruit. Very cool interpretation of the style.

Pours a thick foamy brownish head has a dark coppery/brown appearance. Aromas of roasted malts, spices, very smokey. Flavours are quite sweet, caramel and nutty malts, earthy and resin hops. Some raisins, the smokiness and the alcohol all show up in the finish, not necessarily a great mix. Good, but seems to be a bit much for my tastes. The abv shows quite a bit. Still good, but the 500ml bottle was too much even for me.

I can appreciate that this beer has some quality but smoke flavoured ale is not one of my favorites. Aroma is strong smoke, caramel and rust. It has a lot of flavour but I find it too sweet. There's also more peat flavour than most scotches have. Very medicinal. Smooth slick mouthfeel. Having said all that it's still ok. If you don't have Germolene use this.

Pours a slight hazy copper colour with nice ruby highlights. Big frothy and creamy beige head with great retention and thick foamy-creamy lacing. Dark fruit aromas with the roasted malts and quite peaty. The taste is pretty sweet at first sip, but calms down a little and stays rich afterward. Dark fruits, peaty and then spices show up in the finish. Mouthfeel is a little syrupy, a little oily. Alcohol well-hidden, but brew is a little too sweet and powerful overall.

The beer pours a coca-cola colour with a generous tan coloured head. The aroma is smoked meat, molasses, and caramel. Mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with average carbonation. Flavour is a tad sweet with smoke, vanilla, and caramel coming through. -

Clear red brown with small light brown foam ring. Aroma is quite nice, oak and dark brown fresh bread. Some coffee. Taste is smooth, nothing outstanding, just a smooth velvet wood taste. Like being at a carpenter workshop. (Bergen 201311)

Brown body, with a long lasting short crown, stupid amounts of roapy lacing left behind with every sip. What the hell is this aroma?!?!?! Strange aroma I say, strange. Very medical, strange smoke, Robitussin?? I can't stop smelling this, just can't stop, what am I smelling WHAT IS IT?!?!?! There is a sweetness in the aroma its NOT cherry, NOT prune, maybe peach but that a far stretch. Ok just five more minutes of smelling then I drink. First sip is massive cough syrup, more specifically its perfectly the taste of cherry flavored Chloraseptic spray, and I mean its 100% that flavour. 11%...........bullshyt I taste nothing. Smoke is in the flavor but what the hell kind of smoke is it??? I want to say burning trash on an apple wood fire but in a very good way. My tongue feels funny. I have no idea what the hell I'm drinking I've never had anything even remotely close to this but man is it good. Thank you Ferfie with the peat comment because its a perfect fit. Wow did Philly just FAWK over Nashville with that obscene offer sheet on Weber. Glass is getting emptier and this is making me sad. MMmmmmm i just hit ginger. I have never had a beer that tasted so much like medicine that I enjoyed so much.

What a great idea and excellent execution this was. Nøgne Ø never seems to stop making good beer and this was great. The aroma is just incredible. Massive amount of smoke, sweet like a beer beef-jerky marinade, caramel, alcohol, port....phenom. The flavor was equally as intense. It was like eating beer beef-jerky, dipped in espresso/port/chocolate with a rum-raisin sauce. THis might just be my favorite from Nøgne Ø, but then again...I feel like I’ve already typed this on a different review with them.
