Dark brown color with creamy beige head which disappears quickly. Nice aroma of smoke, sweet malts and peat. Taste has first sweet malts and caramel but then it turns to slightly bitter and dry with smoke. Overall very nice and different smoke beer.
Pours a deep brown with a thinner beige head. The aroma is big on smoke and peat, while it has some earthiness, wood, and hints of raisin. Its unique and intense. The taste has a mild, lingering sweetness. A little dry as well. As expected, the peat and smoke dominate. In addition, I get generous amounts of caramel and raisin, earthy malt, mild cherry, fig, and molasses. Smoky raisin finish. Its full bodied, with a thick texture, and softer in carbonation. Even though the flavor is hidden well, the alcohol content jumps right out at you. Overall, its tasty, different, and very interesting. This one was a lot of fun.
2012 bottle, at home, 4th October 17. Pours a black beer, nice tight throthy head. Aroma is iodine, smoke, liquorice, roasted malt. Taste is iodine, tcp, slight medicinal, liquorice, roasty. Good, similar to a smoked imperial stout.
Pours dark brown, little head. Aroma is very smoked, whisky, sour dough - peated malt is really dominant. Big body, thick mouthfeel. Flavour is malty sweet, peaty, a tad acidic, some roastiness. Very sweet as expected from a barley wine with a nice rye bite. Not always a fan of smoked beer, this is nice though.
Donker bier. Dikke compacte off-white schuimkraag. Rook, leer, tabak, donker fruit, kruidig, zoetje. Hele volle smaak, boozy, licht plakkerig. Mooie warme afdronk, licht subtiel bittertje. Stroperige, rokerige zoetigheid. Topbier.
16.9 oz. bottle, consumed on 8-31-17. �Best fore: 12.01.22. Brygget: 12.01.12.� Pours an opaque, medium to dark brown with a small to moderate amount of beige head. Sweet, smoky, chemical, tart aroma. Scents of port wine, campfire, cooked carrots, and strawberries. Flavor hues closely to aroma. Leathery, malty taste. There�s an artificial, chemical element that isn�t ideal. Definitely smoky, although that�s not necessarily the most notable part of the flavor or aroma. Boozy. Simultaneously sweet and bitter. Medium to full body, not quite as full as I would�ve expected from the ABV. Somewhat smooth in the palate. Unremarkable palate effects. Overall, a decent and memorable beer. Not great, but certainly not bad, and it is interesting. 7.4.7.3.14=>3.5
(Batch 1326-B, brewed 10.12.2014. So despite having been bought just recently at the Norwegian wine monopoly, it’s already 3,5 years old)
POURS reddish brown with a lasting medium sized, beige head.
NOSE: Sweet, dark and smokey malt notes, some caramel. Lovely woodsmoke, some dark mushrooms, smoked meat.
TASTE: The arrival is rich, initially dry, then turns semi sweet, with lots of lovely wood smoke, forest notes, toasted barley, toasted coffee, caramel and some vanilla. The body is rich, the texture creamy and smooth from carbonation. The exit is drier, with a nice, moderate hops bitterness covering up the underlying sweetness, notes of liquorice, burnt wood, smoked meat, smoked ham, even slightly reminiscent of smoked rich (oily) fish and it’s all very good. The aftertaste is long, moderately bittersweet with lingering smoke and toasted coffee notes and a spiciness which I imagine stems from the 20% rye content. I love this beer and its sweet / hops bitter / smoke balance. I think this beer has further aging / development potential.
Release 2014@: Pours redish dark brown, opaque with creamy beige head. Aroma: rich malt character with notes of toffee, caramel, peat, smoked, woody, sherry-like alcohol....flavor is mmuch more intense and complex: malt character takes on caramel (just a hint!), toffee, chocolate, hint of coffee, peat, hint of smoked, supported with dark&stone fruits like esters, woody tannins, sherry-like alcohol (warmth), molasses, hint of licorice..vanillin. Dry, slightly syrupy & bitter finish. Full body, smooth, almost syrupy creamy texture and moderate carbonation. I did not expecte something like that... Truly amazing & underrated beer. Fresh one was problably too hard to drink but mine was more than 3 years old...and there’s no doubt, perfectly blended.
Kolor brazowy z lekko zabarwiona sredniopecherzykowa piana. Czuc aromaty wedzonki i dymu z ogniska, lekki alkohol i konkretna podbudowa slodowa. Zyto jeszcze bardziej zagescilo konsystencje i stalo sie bardzej kleiste. Suszone kandyzowane owoce i troche karmelu. Slodkie i mulace, pomimo iz jestem wielkim fanem wedzonek to efekt dymu jeszcze bardziej to piwo zamulil i ciezko mi je bylo do konca wypic.
Bottle. Dark brown color, good creamy foam. Smoked aroma, cheese, caramel or other malts, wine, creosote. Taste: caramel, whisky, peat, sweet, wine, very good.
E’ una barley wine norvegese, la Sunturnbrew del birrificio Nogne, che viene prodotta in inverno, durante il solstizio, il giorno più buio dell’anno.... Il colore, come si nota dalla foto, è scuro, la luce non filtra, non si riesce a vedere attraverso, la schiuma è di un leggero color cappuccino e non persiste tantissimo, ma per provare questa birra non c’è bisogno degli occhi, ma del naso e della bocca...
Al naso, infatti, sentori di affumicato, di speck, di leggera torrefazione e anche crosta di pane, ma al gusto la birra esplode in tutti i suoi sapori: affumicato, tostato, note di castagna... (amici che l’hanno provata sentivano lo speck!!), poi la birra scivola e sfuma dolcemente e piacevolmente, lasciando una nota amaricante, che non persiste eccessivamente.
Black colour, creamy, light tan head. Somewhat sweet, malty aroma, light smokiness, some alcohol aroma, almost like bourbon. Rich flavoured taste, intense smoke, roasted malts, some hops and bitterness in the aftertaste. Mouthfeel is oily, above medium body, low carbonation. Really nice smoked beer, great flavours and overall, really rich beer as expected from Nogne.
Backlog, ocena przepisana z untappd, w ramach uzupełniania profilu na ratebeer.
Aroma and flavor is smoke/malts, fruit and a mix of sweetness and alcohol in the finish.
Karmelowa, ulepkowata słodycz BW, niezwykle stonowana, nie zamulająca. Gdzieś tam w tle suszone owoce, figi, rodzynki. Znakomicie wkomponowane aromaty dymione, super komponują się z całością. CIało pełne, gęste, ulepkowate, gladkie, wysycenie niskie. Bardziej mu do BW niż jakiegoś smoked. Bardzo w stylu "słodkich" piw Nogne.

Svart hvor noe lys slipper gjennom i kantene. En fingerbredde med kompakt, beige skum. Søt røyk i duften sammen med tørket frukt treverk og noe tobakk. Svisker slår til først i smaken. Røyken kommer senere sammen med fiken og vanilje. Tykk munnfølelse sammen med en behagelig alkoholvarme.
bottle, alko arkadia. dark brown. smokey malty nose, like really dry beef jerky, almost to the point its gone woody, malty, pleasant, nice. full intense thick bodied. good bitters, sweets, balanced and clean, well made nögne-y. smoky, nice though, not overpowering but still very very dominant. woody. malty, rye bready. soft smooth, surprisingly non-repulsive despite being high abv *and* smoked. have had a couple already, so cant feel the booze, but definitely a slight alcohol burn in the finish. really thick, but kinda nice clean flavoured drink. one of those that are that well made & clean flavoured, but just filled with everything, that one, if inclined to beer nerdyness, could go on all night babbling about all the different nuances found, and imagined. great brew. basically a shitload of a lot tossed together, but .. came out nice.

0,5l fles bij lion gedeeld Zwart met een crème kraag. Salmiak, zoete soja, rook en mokka. Fantastic
W aromacie bardzo owocowo i jednocześnie torfowo, wędzonkowo, bardzo przyjemny zapach. W wyglądzie brązowe z obrączką beżowej piany. W smaku dominuje torf i wędzonka, do tego ciemne owoce, melasa i karmel. Ciało dość gęste, degustacyjne. Ogólnie bardzo fajny wędzony barley wine.
Pullo @ Alko. Kaatuu snifteriin täysin mustana ja noin sormen paksuisella vaahdolla. Tuoksussa on ennen kaikkea karamellista ja marjaista otetta sekä tervaisuuteen kääntyvää savuisuutta. Hiven puumaisuutta ja turvettakin on joukossa. Maussa on vahvimpana karamelli ja terva, alla on puuta ja turpeisuutta sekä hiven jotain sitruksen kuorimaisuutta. Suutuntuma on melko täyteläinen ja humalointi tuntuu ja kuivattaa, vaikka alku on makeahko, mutta kokonaisuus on hieman karkeahko. Hyvin tehty ja ennen kaikkea hyvin erilainen savuolut, turpeisuus sopii hyvin barley winen päälle. Ikääon reilusti (pantu 10.12.2014), ja se tuntuu karheutena.
Mahogany brown colour with beige very small head going to the sides of the glass. Aroma has leather, smoke, cigar, some wooden note, port wine. Taste is a bit on the sweet side. Smoked malts, peat, cigar, wooden notes and port wine. Some alcohol is noticeable after warming up a little, but not too much. Full body and lowish carbonation. Really interesting smoked beer. I really enjoyed the port wine notes.
Bottle. Subtle peated smoke, dates, raisins, plums, cherries, port wine, light chocolate underneath. Oily from the rye, well paired with molasses. Thick, sweet, velvety smooth, getting less fruity and more dark malty as it nears the throat, gettign peated dry in the finish. Great flavour depth, awesome composition.
Drank on the day the sun turned...and it was a cold dark one, just like the beer. Black color, tan head. Not too much carbonation. Intense smoke aromas, some dark malts, and dried fruits. Oily body, like drinking oil, which was oddly not disgusting. Very, very sweet, but is balanced by its intense smoke flavor. It shouldn’t work, but somehow did. Maybe something to be drunk once a year only.
Bottle from Alko, Helsinki. Pours dark brown with a little white head. The aroma features strong roasty maltiness with a touch of tar and smoke. Taste is medium smoky with a sweetish touch initially; in addition to smoke, tar and pine feature. Light to medium hoppiness lingers in the finish adding depth. The palate is full-bodied and smooth, like motor oil. Intense and interesting.
Small head. Aroma is smoky, fruity, woody with bread and raisins accent. Flavour of dried fruits, crust of bread, spices. Semi sweet. A lot of smoke. Extremely oily and full body. Carbonation is appropriate. Alcohol is well hidden but nicely Warming up esophagus. Absolutely amazing beer!
Bottle. Brown red color. Aroma of smoke, red fruit, caramelised malt and raisin. Taste has nice sweetish smoke, peat, raisin, bitter hop, malt and a peaty finish. Very nice.
