Sure the majority of those beers were the hop-forward modern IPAs and Pale Ales we’d become famous for, but amongst the light was a dark beer that was a favourite amongst the fledgling Polly’s team, a breakfast stout.
A style that we’ve incredibly never revisited in the following seven years for varying reasons, we’re back with abundance on this beer and bringing seven year’s worth of brewing knowledge with it. Largely letting the malt do the talking on this beer, we’ve brought – take a deep breath – DRC Malt, Crisp Brown, Chocolate, Carafa Special III, Amber Malt, Pale Chocolate, Black Malt, and Naked Oats to the party on this grist bill, before treating with fresh Madagascan vanilla pods and a lashing of milk sugar to thicken this stout up to the max whilst maintaining its drinkability to the max.

Sesongstart for Mi2 på Cardinal: brunsvart med fint skum som varer lenge. Nydelig aroma og smak med nybrent espresso, mørke dessertchokolader, bjørnebær, vanilje og hint av aske. Lekker bitterhed og laang eftersmag. Farlig lettdrikkelig, og foreløpig en av kveldens beste, skal man tro på reaksjonene rundt bordet.

On tap at Cardinal, Stavanger. Pours black with big beige head. Aroma of coffee, tobacco, ash, artificial vanilla aroma. Tastes pretty sweet with some bitterness. Medium bodied, alcoholic warmth, sweet finish. The beer is somewhat unbalanced - without vanilla aroma, it would be almost undrinkable because of too much tobacco and ash aroma. The vanilla aroma is, on the other hand, far too dominant.

On tap at Cardinal, Stavanger. Black colour, creamy tan head. Aroma of roast malts, chocolate and coffee, a hint of vanilla. Smooth flavour with the same elements, noticeable bittering hops in the finish.
