Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 6 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 6 | Overall: 7
Bottle. Clear, copper body, witha beige head. Malty, slightly roasted aroma, with some sweetness. Malty flavor, with a wee note of bonfire-like sourness, roasted malt, pine, resin and a hint of coffee. Medium to full body. There’s hoppy flavors and some coffee in the finish. Even more hops would do it for me, but it is definately a nice beer. (070909)

Aroma: 6 | Appearance: 5 | Mouthfeel: 5 | Flavor: 6 | Overall: 6
Bottle. Clear, pale golden, maybe even yellow body, with a small, creamy, white head. The aroma is quite citrusy from the hops, but there’s also some pale malt in it. The same goes for the flavor. The mouthfeel is quite thin, as expected. Pleasant finish, some pale malt and fruityness. A quite pleasant beer, with a nice fruityness. Probably very nice in the summmer heat. Definately a postitive first meeting with Ægir. (070906)

Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 8 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 7
Bottle. Clear, deep golden pour, with an off-white head. Lovey piney and resiny nose, with a good maltyness and citrus too. Malt, beef-stock, resin, citrus and some sweetness, but more on the bitter side than on the sweet side. Full body and a long, resiny finish with some camphor. Really lovely. (070909)

Aroma: 6 | Appearance: 6 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 6 | Overall: 7
Bottle. Clear, almost golden body, with a nice, white head. Quite mild aroma, with citrus and pale malt. Citrusy start on the flavor, lasting all the way, but there’s also some maltyness.I would like a fuller body, but for a blond ale, it’s fine. The finish has a nice bitterness, and of course there’s citrus as well. A well-crafted, very drinkable beer, that could easily become a bestseller at the pub. (070906)

Aroma: 9 | Appearance: 9 | Mouthfeel: 9 | Flavor: 8 | Overall: 9
Bottled at Uptown. Huge dense, head. Never seen a head that brown. The beer is just black. No color to be spotted at all. Mild, chocolatey, coffeeish, roasted aroma with hints of cigar. The flavor has some honey-cake in it too. Full bodied with a long bitter aftertaste, that gets a little astringent at the very end. Rating: 7-9-8-9-8-4.1 (051103)
Rerate: Still pours black, with a big, dense, brown head. Still leaves nice lacings. Something has happened to the aroma though. It still has chocolate and coffee, it has roasted malt, but it’s much more intense than I remember it from earlier samples. And the hop-aromas are just lovely. I mean really lovely. Heavy on the pine and resin, yet fruity, much more evident than I can remember from any of the other bottles I’ve had. Just wonderful, I could sit with my nose deep in the glass for ages, and sure I did. The cigar smoke mentioned in my first rating of it are undetectable, but it has a vanilla note in the far back. This time tasted at 12 degrees centigrade, maybe it has opened up much more, at least it is a completely different experience than at the first rating. The flavor plays almost the same tune as the aroma, but the chocolate is a bit subdued, and the coffee more pronounced. It is still thick and chewy in the mouth, I didn’t have to taste it to understand that, it was evident when pouring. The lovely hop is surely present in the flavor as well, giving it a heavy bitterness that balances all of it’s dark sides, and there’s still room for fruityness. The finish is almost as lovely as anything else. The coffee and chocolate disappeares a bit fast, but the roast and bitterness stays with you for a long time. The dangerous part of this beer, as with all beers from Nøgne Ø, is that the alcohol is damn well hidden. If this is how the beer tastes like at the moment, I’m definately in for some more bottles.
