Bottle, 8.5% ABV, as Beer Here Dark Hops Hoppy Black Ale, RBNAG 2009 in Vatlandsvåg. Brewed at Nøgne Ø, Norway. Pitch black colour, moderate brown head. Very nice aroma of roasted malts, coffee and chocolate, hints of liquorice. Distinctly roasty flavour, very dry, notes of strong bitter coffee, hints of dark bitter chocolate. Good, but I’d like a little more sweetness.

500 ml bottle, courtesy of Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. ABV of this Rye IPA is 6.5%. Cloudy orange to amber colour, big to moderate off-white head. Lovely aroma of fruity, piney and resinous American(?) hops. The flavour is very hoppy throughout, as expected - but never too extreme. Piney and resinous notes galore. Some malty sweetness, but not too much. Dry and bitter finish.

At Copenhagen Beer Festival. Brown colour. Lovely aroma and flavour of brown and lightly roasted malts, caramel, rye bread and a little chocolate, mixed with distinct fruity (apricot, melon, citrus) hops. I was sceptical how well Citra hops would fit in a brown ale, but Beer Here have succeeded. Good stuff!

500 ml bottle, from Voldby Købmandsgård. ABV is 4.7%. Deep golden to amber colour, slightly hazy, moderate white head. Lovely aroma of predominantly fruity American and New Zealand hops, citrussy and piney notes. Rather thin mouthfeel. The flavour is distinctly hoppy throughout, there is a moderate sweetness, but hardly enough malty backbone to support the hops. The bitterness is not extreme, though.

500 ml bottle, from Voldby Købmandsgård. Batch #425. ABV is 7.5%. Pitch black colour, huge brown head. Moderately roasty aroma, notes of mild coffee, chocolate and fennel seeds, possibly other undefined spices too. Rich and creamy mouthfeel. The flavour has notes of pumpernickel bread (no surprise!), fennel seeds, coffee and dark chocolate, hints of liquorice. An impressive, well made and tasty beer, but (if anything) I would perhaps recommend going a bit easier on the fennel seeds.

500 ml bottle, from KWM Wines & Spirits. ABV is 10%. Pitch black colour, moderate brown head. Moderate but pleasant aroma of roast malts, chocolate, mild coffee, vanilla and marshmallows. Very sweet flavour (too sweet), loads of lactose, notes of roasted barley, coffee, dark chocolate, vanilla and marshmallows, even a hint of charcoal / ashes and smoke.
