Nøgne Ø Sunturnbrew

To kick things off, after spending a couple of hours yesterday afternoon digging out of the weekend's snowstorm, we opened the Sunturnbrew (26°P, 50 IBU, 11% abv), Nøgne Ø's tribute to the Winter Solstice. Poured flat, then put on a smallish head, before going flat again. Low carbonation, very easy drinking, no sign of heat on the palate, smooth, as J. put it, "lighter than velvet." Nice combination of chocolate/porter flavours, tasty bittersweet finish, and then a nice warming glow as it goes down. A lovely winter warmer.
