About this release

Barrel aged Strong Ale of 15.5%, brewed with Jæren barley malt, honey from Brekkestø, demerara sugar and juniper twigs. This ambitious beer from Nøgne Ø, one of Norway's most renowned craft breweries from Grimstad, undergoes extensive maturation of no less than eighteen months. The beer first matures for nine months in French whisky barrels, followed by another nine months in Willett Pot Still bourbon barrels. This prolonged barrel aging results in a powerful and complex beer with pronounced notes of vanilla, oak and warm bourbon. This is a beer for the true connoisseur of advanced craft beers. With an alcohol percentage of 15.5%, Nordic Noir 4 Bourbon Edt. is a full-bodied, characterful Strong Ale that you should taste slowly and with full attention. The combination of traditional Norwegian ingredients and intensive barrel aging makes this an exceptional creation that leaves an impression. Since their founding in 2002, Nøgne Ø, which means 'Naked Island', produces a wide range of uncompromising high-quality beers. From their renowned Imperial Stout to hoppy ales, the brewery is known for its unique and daring brewing style. Nordic Noir 4 Bourbon Edt. is a perfect example of this philosophy, a masterpiece that demands respect and patience in tasting.
