Braggot is a hybrid style of beer and mead. Nöösker knows how to make a perfect mead, we can make a beer quite well (we think atleast). We put our heads together and Ööloom (Nocturnal Animal) was born.
The color of the drink is midnight black, the little beige head doesn’t last very long.
Already from the aroma, you can sense that this is not something usual. The aroma is sour coffee, blackcurrant jam, mixed with dark toffee.
The taste is very multi-layered. At first glance, you can feel rather fruity and sour berry flavors. The more you sip, the more toffee, dark chocolate, darker sweet berries are added. In aftertaste, very honeyed notes come to the fore, remaining for a long time as a warming sweet taste.
The Ööloom is one dangerously good creature that we recommend trying with a slow-cooked honey-marinade meat dishes. But it is definitely worth trying with honey cake and roasted nuts with honey aswell.
A deep dark brown beer with a beautiful golden brown head.
Aroma is bready, black rye bread. Roasted nuts and a bit of caramel in the background.
First taste is roasty and bready. If the crust of black bread were a beer, this would be the beer. Aftertaste has nutty flavors and dark dried fruits - raisins, plums.
Rye SK is a pleasantly bready, warming beer that could quite easily be used instead of a slice of bread with any food.
The rich imperial stout which was brewed with chocolate malt and flavoured with Madagascar vanilla was born from the co-operation with the brewmaster from St. Petersburg.
This proud beer might have fit to the tables of the Czar’s court in the old days but the aficionados of craft beers are entitled to enjoy it nowadays.
“Take these seeds and put them in your pockets so at least sunflowers will grow when you all lie down here,” is the sentence said by the Ukrainian old lady to the soldier of the aggressor country, which has become one of the symbols of resistance. This Ukraine-inspired stout is brewed with roasted sunflower seeds. The sunflower is the national flower of Ukraine.
The beer is black in color, with a lighter brown thick foam that lasts a long time.
The first aroma is toasty and coffeey. In the background, slightly sweeter nutty and chocolate notes.
Sunflower seeds are immediately noticeable at first taste. The nuttiness, oiliness and saltiness of the seeds balance the roasted flavors. The middle taste is rather creamy, nutty, chocolatey. In the aftertaste, the salt comes out slightly again.
This porter is such a universal companion to meat dishes, but it is also perfect for simply enjoying on a dark autumn evening. It is recommended to serve at least 8C from a stemmed beer glass, why not also from a wine glass.
Bright red temptation, dark desires, and a dash of sane mind controlling it all.
The bitter temptation of dark chocolate is mixed with the passion of the bright red raspberry.
Experience: The light brown head is filling the glass, and thick foam will stay as warm carpet covering deep black nectar in the glass. The aroma will start strong as chocolate malt but after hesitation gives way to raspberries and dewberries.
The sip is silky and carries on the promise from the aroma - yes, it’s raspberries all over the place. But it’s not your grandma’s sweet raspberry jam, oh no. There is a full-scale war going on between roasted malts and raspberries. As soon as it feels like berries are making an advance, roasty and chocolatey will counterattack. In the midst of all this confusion, some sour notes will use the opportunity, and it’s not even clear are they from the roasty or berry front.
In the end, hops will arrive with armored medevac vehicle, load all that’s left, and drive south. From the high hill, you can see them slowly driving away on the long winding roads.
Black as night, smooth as silk. Tempting like black silk in the night.
Experience: Black beer and light brown foam. Morning coffee in the aroma. First one, with the generous spoonful of sugar and fresh cream. The excitement of the new day. Exotic fruits. Fleeing and unframable fragrance of forest flowers.
Smooth and silky sip will mix five different wheat malts. Coffee? You bet? Biscuits? Certainly. Coffee biscuits! With a sip of hot cocoa brewed with full milk. Lovely. At the end of the sip, wheat will show it’s sour side.
In the aftertaste, there are roasted hazelnuts what are slowly getting mixed with hop bitterness.
