Copenhagen 23/3 2016. 40 cl bottle from SuperBrugsen. Nørrebro Bryghus’ own very stylish bottle with an orange label in the brewery's usual design. This time a geometric design made out to look like a flower.

Pours clear reddish brown with a light brown head. Settles as a 0,5 cm thick layer of foam.

Aroma is pretty intense with a fermented dark fruit, caramel, alcohol and a fair amount of sourness ad bitterness.

Soft carbonation and slightly thick palate.

Flavor has a very strong sweetness followed by a medium strong bitterness. A bit of alcohol in the aftertaste.

They say on the label that this beer is "vinous and dark". In this case it must be port that they are referring to.

Pours dark coppery brown with ruby highlights and a large, lasting head.
Nose shows caramel, golden syrup and toasty malt alongside sultanas and bready malt. Also a hint of spices.
Equally sweet flavours, with lots of golden syrup and melanoidin malt lasting through a lengthy finish.
High carbonation is an annoying distraction from the malty goodness.

Pours a dark, murky red colour with slight oak tinge. Head is beige, also with very slight russet tinge. Small bubbles, nice and creamy on top and retaining half a finger, with impressive carbonation. Looks pretty damned nice.

Smells very malty, but with a touch of sourness - lots of dark fruit with plums, raisins, figs and dried apricot. Plenty of brown sugar malt for sweetness and a lingering trace of metallic rust on the back. Not bad, but would like the fruit's sweetness more emphatic.

Taste is alright, although first impressions lead me to surmise that it's a bit old - that slightly sour dried fruit character pervades the front, but drops off sharply. Midway the malty goodness takes over and it's for the best, with some brown sugar, molasses and figs coming through late. Hint of redcurrant and maybe some slightly phenolic spice. Not a bad drop, bit of a non-sparkler though, in the world of stronger lagers. Just lacks diversity in its flavours.

That carbonation shows up sure enough, not entirely defended by the decent malt body. Not bad for the style though, it's nice to have a bit of texture.

Yeah, strong doesn't necessarily equal fascinating, and while there's big flavour here, its intonations and depth are a bit lacking.
