8 Bent Gate Oat Of This World Oat Cream DIPA Norway Imperial IPA 3.4

Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 7

440 ml can, from Vinmonpolet, Nettbutikken (after several efforts). ABv is 8%. The glass fills completely by white foam, and the slightly hazy pale golden beer appears slowly. Moderate aroma of sweetish malts and fruity hops, notes of yellow plums. Fizzy mouthfeel, not as rich as expected. The flavour is medium sweet, notes of yellow plums and peaches, with a moderate bitterness in the finish. This is not a bad beer, but a certain "lack of balance" makes it unlikely that I'll buy it again.

330 ml bottle, batch #191, from Vinmonopolet Jørpeland. ABV is 6.0%. Slightly hazy deep golden colour, small white head. Aroma of over-ripe fruits and berries, a hint of solvent. Dull flavour with very moderate earthy hops, unfresh notes of decaying fruits. Not much to brag about - if I were a Liverpool supporter, I would be embarassed by this "tribute" beer.
