An ok stout of a dark brown color and a brownish foam, with bubbles in the head.
Smell and taste are soft, of roasted malts and cola basically, but also coffe. I didn't find strong chocolate tones in this one.
This beer is almost like a cola, but with a huge body and some alcohol (just 4.5%)
A bit disappointing.

Picked this up at a great little beer store in Arlon, Belgium, Miorge Mihoublon. Dark brown, nearly black pour with a quickly fading one finger caramel colored head with minimal lacing. The nose is roasty and subtly sweet with hints of dark chocolate, espresso, oats, and a touch of smoke. The taste is dark roast forward with hints of nuts, caramel, dark chocolate, cocoa, toasted oats, espresso, smoke, and just a touch of licorice. The mouthfeel is much thinner than I had expected, but very smooth and extremely drinkable with a dry, bittersweet finish. Overall, pretty tasty even though I'm not a huge fan of Oatmeal Stouts.

Looks a Dark brown and ruby. Moderate head that is a milk chocolate colour.
Smells of sweet vanilla with some light chocolate and coffee aroma.
Taste is subtle chocolate and coffee.
I Was expecting heavy but got quite light. Easy drinking.
My first go at a Norwegian beer. I quite like this drop and could easily drink a few of these.

Appearance: Black, with visible bits of brown sediment that aren't very pretty (should've poured it carefully and let the sediment remain in the bottle). Pours a nice and creamy one finger head.
Aroma: Milk chocolate and coffee, roasted malt, hint of vanilla.
Taste: Coffee and liquid chocolate, with a hint of bitterness in the aftertaste. Quite mild and light, but with a solid stout base.
Mouthfeel: Smooth, typical oatmeal stout softness. Medium bodied.
Overall: It's rather good for a light oatmeal stout, although I feel that this type of beer is rarely at it's best with a lowish alcohol content. It could easily get up to 6% and this might give it more robustness. Nøgne Ø rarely disappoints, and this is certainly a tasty stout, if it isn't one of their best.

Half-litre bottle tasted during my 'Drinking around Europe' evening on New Years Eve.
Black bodied beer with a light tan/biege head that stayed the distance as well as leaving some heavy lacing on my UK sleeve glass.
Malty molasses rule the nose and taste: chocolate, coffee and Brazil nuts! All in the aroma and flavours in the mouth.
Nicely put together without setting the world alight: would have prefered a little hop bitterness in the blend to be honest: this was smooth, almost creamy and bordering on rich body wise. Not as Oatmealy as I expected.

500ml bottle, allowed to warm a little having come in from the outhouse, poured into a UK handled pint glass.
Pours a rich mid-black colour with a good finger of creamy brown/beige head which thins back to a half finger within a few minutes.
On the nose I got sweet flavours, sugar, roasted malt, milky choclolate and a slightly toasted kind of caramel/butter/toffee aroma.
On the palate caramel, toffee, sweet sugar, roasted malts finished with a bitter dry and slightly sweet aftertaste.
Medium bodied stout with fairly low carbonation which provided a good creamy finish.
Overall a decent stout, not quite as sweet as I was expecting but that's no bad thing!

First had: on tap at Teresa's, Wayne, PA
Great stout! Poured into a pint glass, a dark brown-black with a tan head that receded to a small but firm layer. Rich, roasty aroma of dark malts, chocolate, roasted nuts. Very rich and tasty! Strong chocolate notes up front, dark roasty malts with hints of coffee, cream, and a mild sensation of figs and plums. Silky, full-bodied and very drinkable.
