X17 - Nogne O God Jul

This is the 2010 version of a winter warmer from the the Norwegian brewery Nogne O. The nose is deeply creamy with lots of nice notes of dark chocolate, cinnamon, dark bread and some lime peel. Deep and good. After a while some tar/asphalt emerge.

The taste is big and creamy with a nice chocolaty feeling paired with some sweet malt and a long finish with a nice bitterness. A nice sweetness in the middle flavour. Very good.
