Bottle. Aaah, Novare Res, I'd really like to go back, we had a blast there, with lots of good beers. But anyway, Fernet Force pours an unclear, dark brown body under a small dark beige head. Some curtains. The aroma has a light soapy touch, spices, toffee, bread and some dark dried fruit. It's full-bodied, warming and soft on the palate, with a quite herbal flavor. Roasted malts, toffee, bread and some bread crust too. Lasting finish. A bit on the herbal side this one, but sure nice anyway. And the alcohol is barely detectable. 200619

Mi2 Cardinal mai-19: siden der var få nyheter denne kvelden åpnet seremonimester Melberg for ønsker, og jeg fikk alle mine tre oppfylt! 0,33 flaske: brunsvart med flott skum som varer. en fyldig og smaksrik imp.stout med lekker balanse - her er Fernet Branca-krydderurtene tydeligvis brukt med nennsom hånd. Herlig, inviterende aroma, og smaken følger opp. Halvsøt avslutning med mørke bær og hint av mynte. Mi2 mars-23, fra 0,33 flaske: still going strong, og poengsummen fra sist forblir uendret.

Bottle. A- Aquavit, mild smoke, char, mild anise. A- Black color, black liquid, brown head. T- Smoke, roast, oak, cardamom, slightly tangy, anise, tobacco. P- Full body, slightly thin texture, average carbonation, slightly bitter finish. O- Of course, I proclaim to taste and smell aquavit having absolutely no actual idea what that tastes like, as I've done with other aquavit beers. Either way, I taste something and it's unique. Liked the aroma a lot. Taste was a bit thin bodied and not quite as balanced but still pretty good.

My goodness this one was powerful and complex. I tried it when it was quite fresh and the fernet flavor was a bit over powdering. Also some roast, chocolate, cocoa, barrel and dark malt. Solid complexity. Looks good. Black off course, but a fine tan head that leaves a fine lacing down the sides of the glass. Fine carbonation level also. Solid evening sipper.
