Nøgne Ø Imperial Brown Ale
There is a long story to this malty ale. It was first brewed in the spring 2006 in Nørrebro Bryghus in Copenhagen, Denmark, as a joint brew between Nøgne Ø and Nørrebro. Nørrebro calls their version “Double Knot Brown”. It is the perfect thing to drink with almost any cheese.
Recommended serving temperature 12°C/50°F. Ingredients: Maris Otter, wheat, brown, amber, Munich and caramel malt; Columbus, Chinook and E K Golding hops; English ale yeast, and our local Grimstad water.

Donkerbruin bier met beperkte beige schuimkraag. Licht zoete een zachte aanzet met een klein bittertje in de afdronk
Bottle from Gedeelde Vreugde, Sint-Niklaas. Pours hazy brown with a slowly thinning, frothy, tan head. Aroma of prune, raisin, toffee, pistachio, mocha, milk chocolate. Taste has sweet toffee, cake, filled with dried dark fruits, sugary mocha, nutty & chocolatey backbone but restrained. Herbal-earthy hoppy finish, more toffee, warming hint of whisky. Medium body, syrupy texture, soft carbonation. Inviting winter warmer with sufficient hoppiness.
From bottle (pkgd Oct'18) in tapered shaker. Pours murky brown w/1cm light tan head, aroma of choc & earthy hops. Rich and malty up front w/enough hops to tilt the finish toward bitter. Does work well w/cheese as suggested
Zwart bier met weinig schuim. Smaak is warm, licht bitter en zoet met iets van hazelnoot, chocolade, ietwat koffie en karamel. Een bier om van te genieten.
Draught @ The Thirsty Heart, Graz. Hazy brown colour, big head with good durability, fair lacing, soft carbonation. Nose is malty, caramel, nuts, milk chocolate. Flavour is light roasted malt, hazelnut, alcohol, chocolate. Sweet but well balanced with a solid bitterness. Very good!
Aroma: caramel, dried dark fruit, piney hop, alcohol
Appearance: moderately hazy dark amber-brown color with a one-finger beige head.
Taste: caramel, dried dark fruit, piny hop, medium-high sweetness, medium to medium-high bitterness
Palate: medium-full body, medium-low carbonation, mild dryness in the finish,
Overall: It tastes nice for a brown ale, but this kind is just not my style. Drinkability is medium-low.
pleasant smooth creamy beery and strong. cocoa,chocolate and a little oil. some caramel a little hop for balance and a bit a malt. some yeast and some festive spice.
Bottle from Pivoteka. Nice caramel aroma with just a hint of alcohol. Cloudy brown color with medium sized brown head. Hazelnut and bitter chocolate taste. Medium body, soft carbonation, creamy.
Bottle from Great Grog. Hazy brown body with a cream head. Steady carbonation. Good lacing. Aroma of nuts, raisins, milk chocolate and coffee. Flavour of prunes and brown sugar with a boozy finish to remind you of the ABV. Medium body with a slick texture. Soft fizz. Rich and full flavoured. Excellent.
Definite dark malt loaf aroma. Deep dark amber with little lacing. Taste is medium sweet with a long finish. Palate is medium bodied, soft carbonation smooth texture and a long finish. The bottle I had was nearing its best before but this was still smooth and easy
Flasa z Damiana. Vona menej vyrazna sladkasta. Farba tmavojantarova, slabsia pena. Chut sladkasta korenista. Velmi prijemna

Fra flaske.
Mørkebrun med højt lysebrunt skum.
Aroma af malt, karamel, lidt metal.
Medium sød og fyldig i munden. Smag af malt, nødder, karamel.
Udmærket Brown Ale.
33 cl. bottle @ home, served in a teku glass. Due date: 21/09/20.
Aroma: quite intense aromas of floral hops, toasted malts, sweet alcohol. Very light spicy, soapy and earthy overtones.
Appearance: brown color with beige and very creamy foam made of small-sized bubbles. High to very high head thickness with very high retention and low Brussels' lacing. Too dark to talk about haziness.
Taste: medium sweetness, low to medium bitterness, low sourness. Flavors are floral, toasted and roasted malts, caramel, brown sugar, molasses. Hints of toffee, dark dried fruits, burnt sugar, burnt caramel. Balance is towards the sweet side, but quite balanced overall.
Palate: medium body, oily to creamy texture, medium carbonation, very long sweet finish with medium sweetness, low to medium bitterness and the same aforementioned flavors. Alcohol is slightly noticeable through its sweetness and quite noticeable due to its mouth and throat warming effect. Low astringency and low acidity from the black malts.
Overall: very good appearance, intense but not very appealing aromas (too floral). Flavors are sweet and a little bit cloying. Maybe too floral flavors too. A little bit of gushing when opened. It would be better with less noticeable alcohol or less alcohol and less floral aromas and flavors. A little bit cloying but quite complex and with many layers of flavors. Interesting.
Bottle. Pours hazy chestnut brown with big and stable beige head. Clear aroma of malt and caramel, with notes of hops and yeast and hints of nuts. Bitter flavour of hops and roasted nuts, with notes of caramel malt and yeast and mild touches of nutmeg. Bitter and estery aftertaste with nutty notes. Creamy mouthfeel. Well-balanced and really anjoyable. A very good Brown Ale!

Bottle from Damian. Pours dark brown with small tan head, aroma of malt, figs and plums, taste is very strong, lot of roasted malt, coffee, plums, chocolate, some citruses, balanced body, light bitterness, long steady bitter finish. Fine
Wyśmienity brown. Świetnie zbalansowany, nie przeciążony, daje radę chłodzony i na ciepło. Klasa browar.
Bottle. Malty aroma, caramel, chocolate, light toffee. Tastes the same as aroma, light sweet notes, light to medium bitter. Full body, malty caramel bitter sweet notes. Good.
Аромат немного спертый но приятный, в меру сладкий, немного специй. Цвет красно коричневый, глубокий. Потрясающая кремовая мелкопузырчатая пена. Тело на удивление среднее, питкое, почти полностью отсутствует карбонизация. Вкус карамельный, немного шоколадный, также присутствуют специи, намек на темные фрукты. В послевкусие появляется горчинка, но быстро отдает свое место хмелю.
可可堅果咖啡焦糖
