About

Charley Noble from Nøgne Ø is a classic English-style Barleywine from Norway, matured on whiskey barrels. At 12% ABV, this deep brown ale opens with a complex nose of dark malt, dried fruit, and a light smoky character from barrel aging. Brewed with malted barley and wheat, it delivers a full-bodied, warming experience. The palate is remarkably smooth for its strength. Dark chocolate, dark berries, and sweet cherry notes blend with hints of candy sugar and dried fruit, while the whiskey barrel adds subtle smoke without overwhelming. The finish is soft and lingering, with integrated alcohol warmth that feels more comforting than harsh. A sophisticated, contemplative barleywine.
