Haandbryggeriet Norwegian Wood

This beer was part of the november news release at Systembolaget:

Haandbryggeriet Norwegian Wood
(Bottle) 6,5%
It poured a hazy dark golden-red liquid with a medium sized dirty white foam.

Smell of smoke, wood and nuts. Almost like your clothes smell after sitting next to an open fire.

Fairly smooth with just a bit of stingy carbonation. Thick body and not very watery, allot of taste without being to much. It had a medium to high bitterness and tasted of smoke, wood, bacon and some burned toast. Same with the smell it tasted like a campfire.

I’m not a huge fan of smoked beers but this was pretty nice. It doesn't go as far as some of the more extreme smoked beers and the amount of smokieness feels well balanced. It also lacks the sourness that I've encountered in other beers from this brewery.
Total: 3,5/5
