Nøgne Ø Gottes Hülfe in der Noth is a Baltic porter from the winners of the 2014 Norwegian home brewing championships by Thomas Hellberg Hagen and Geir Ølnes. The name of the beer derived from the second largest silver mine at Kongsberg, one 765 meter deep mine which they called Gottes Hülfe in der Noth. The name means "God's help in distress", and it is only to ascertain that it is a wonderful name for a beer.
Dark brown beer with a small beige head, aroma was not that intense and had some rye bread and milk chocolate. Dried fruits, caramel and toffee which was nice and light coffee tones and I get the feeling the body of this beer is light.
Tasted ok with more mild chocolate, coffee and bready notes but as expected the body was a touch watery and this along with a slight dryness was not what I was hoping for in a Baltic porter. Mild and slightly creamy this beer was ok, definitely not on the level of beers produced by Nøgne Ø but probably a worthy winner on the amateur level. Nice to have tried but have tasted a lot better beers in the past that were winners of the Norwegian home brewing championships.
