July 2019: 330 ml bottle, as Nøgne Ø Twin Otter Belgian Dubbel, from Vinmonopolet Kvadrat. ABV is 8%, 30 IBU. Nearly black colour, strange colour for a dubbel. Small beige head. Aroma of chocolate and mild coffee, hints of molasses. Not much dubbel character here either. Soft mouthfeel. The flavour has also notes of chocolate and mild coffee, hints of caramel. Despite a hint of Belgian ale yeast, this is more of a porter than a dubbel in my book. Disregarding style, the beer is nice enough to drink, though.

This is from day 2 of the beer advent calendar.
I was excited to try it, but it isn't as good as the Adventurous Brown from last year.
Really dark, not much nose, too sweet for the longhaul.
Nothing wrong with it, but it was a letdown nonetheless.

330ml bottle, day 2 of the 2017 Craft BeerAdvent Calendar. Now this is more like it for a winter/holiday celebration release, or so we shall see.
This beer pours a murky, dark orange-brick brown colour, with three fingers of puffy, creamy, and mildly fizzy tan head, which leaves some tiered and streaky cloud form lace around the glass as it slowly and evenly subsides.
It smells of bready and doughy caramel malt, bittersweet cocoa powder, a hint of cafe-au-lait, muddled black stone fruit, a faint earthy yeastiness, subtle bar-top nuts, and some weak musty, herbal, and floral green hops. The taste is mixed dark orchard fruit, gritty and grainy caramel malt, ephemeral yeast, hot chocolate, some oily nuttiness, understated milky coffee, and more meek earthy, weedy, and gently soused-up floral noble hoppiness.
The carbonation is rather level in its perfunctory frothiness, the body a solid medium weight, and generally smooth, with nothing really causing any concern here. It finishes off-dry, the malt complexity holding the lingering reins.
Overall - this is a fairly well-rendered version of the style, quite fruit-forward in its bearing. Easy to put back, and sneakily warming, the perfect foil to a wintry Saturday afternoon. Glad to see this 'All Star Edition' break out a higher caliber gun.
