0.33l bottle - enormous thanks Brane & Axel! Poured a nearly pitch black body, just slightly tinged with amber, small thick greyish tan head, medium retention. The spiciness, cardamom I guess - though in a blind tasting I'd go for anise without any doubt... which just shows how (in)experienced with cardamom I am - dominates on a clean dark malty backbone, vague fig, trace alcohol. Full body, good maltiness, even mild mild roast, full and creamy, cardamom and plum, the roastiness adding a vaguely chocolatey note. This is actually a very satisfying holiday beer, with the alcohol well hidden. Definitely liking these new Kabinet beers. :) But I really don't see myself drinking more than, say. half a bottle of this - just a bit too intense spice-wise, even slightly cloying for me.
