While the phrase "luff and touch her" sounds like an affectionate exchange between two lovers, it’s actually more technical. The idiom comes from the vocabulary of sailing and describes a process in which the boat is maneuvered too close to the wind. The sharp wind makes the sails tremble and the ship should be turned around as soon as possible.
The brewers at Nøgne Ø deliver exactly the right drink after a rough day on the high seas: the Norwegians are familiar with the freezing cold, days of darkness and inhospitable conditions and have created a beer that is flavored with cocoa, chocolate and a warming 15.0% alcohol content caresses the soul. It’s appropriately named Luff And Touch Her and is brewed with Ceremonial Grade cacao. This particularly fine cocoa is made from the untreated cocoa bean in a gentle process and contains more good cocoa butter than conventional cocoa powder. It is said to have healing powers and a high content of vitamins and nutrients. In beer, this exquisite ingredient is characterized above all by its wonderfully velvety chocolate taste. The luxurious aroma is exploited to its maximum potential in a three-year cask aging and supported by a powerful, voluminous stature.
Luff And Touch is an incomparably dense, intense and powerful taste experience that should appeal to fans of heavy beers in particular.
