#100

Nøgne Ø #100 I believe was the 2nd ever beer from this favourite brewery of mine that I have tasted, many years ago I was a big fan of #100. Now many years later I still like this beer but there are a few other Nøgne Ø beers that I still think are even better. Lots of people are not sure what the style of this beer really is, in the US it is labelled as a Barleywine and for the rest of the world, an IIPA or DIPA if there is a difference...

100% Peated

Nøgne Ø 100% Peated is brewed with 100% Scottish peat smoked whisky malt and has an intense smokey flavour and aroma. I was at the brewery many years ago when this beer was still in fermenting tanks and it was giving off an intense smokey aroma, I did get to taste it also but hated it back then.

#1000

Nøgne Ø #1000 a Belgian spiced Tripel is brewed by Nøgne Ø to celebrate their 1000th batch of beer brewed at the brewery.

The world’s most famous collection of...

#1001

Nøgne Ø #1001 a Belgian spiced porter was brewed by Nøgne Ø to celebrate their 1000th batch of beer brewed at the brewery. This beer has 10.01% alc which is pretty cool and also an IBU of 50 and is a dark beer with spices. The 2nd in this series inspired by 1001 Nights and packed with exotic spices from the Middle East. The aroma was puzzling me in the beginning, was I drinking a porter or a stout and it really developed into stout like characteristics...
