Zulogaarden Norai, bottle courtesy of the owner of Blow Beer Bar, a small gem of a bar in Valladolid, Spain. This is an American-style big beer brewed at Fortiverd by Zulogaarden, a regional craft-brewers association in Catalonia that is pushing the limits of beer in Spain.
Appearance: A chestnut-brown color, dark and hazy. Almost no lacing remains after an abundant foamy head with lots of bubbles. Low carbonation.
Smell: Roastiness. Dark malts. Some coffee, nuts. Reminds me of Guinness. Underwhelming.
Taste: More like a regular porter or a stout than a "robust porter", dry and roasty, some coffee as in the nose. Malts throughout. Correct but unremarkable.
Mouthfeel: Good carbonation, medium body, very dry, pungently bitter as it warms up. Not exactly pleasant to drink, but alright.
Drinkability: At 7%, it is not a gigantic brew, but still- a sipper because of the dryness and the overall "blah-ness".
Average for an American brew, but quite a triumph in the sad Spanish craft-beer scene.
