Sesongstart på Mi2 Cardinal 15.1.25, og vi avslutter kvelden med en broderlig deling av denne utsøkte kreasjonen på 0,33 flaske: nesten kullsort med fint skum som varer. Mørke bær, madeira, honning, mørke dessertchokolader, lakris, marsinpan og et hint av spanske juleappelsiner. Saftig avslutning med delikat bitterhet og like delikat mersmak. Hurra for meg som har en flaske i kjelleren!

Bortimot svart med lys brunt skum. Lukter svisker, rosiner, røstet malt. Smaker lakris, kaffe, mørke stenfrukter. Myk og livlig i munnfølelse. Kjenner alkholvarmen.

Dark brown beer with no head. Chocolate, acetone, fusels, refined alcohols as eau-de-vie. Chocolate, praliné, chocolate sauce for desserts, molasses and again drier alcohol. Slick, yet chewy, not quite syrupy. Fantastically complex, unbelievably refined in such a powerhouse.

Bottle 330ml @ home
Pours black with a tan head. Aroma has notes of roasted malt, brown sugar, alcohol, chocolate and dried fruits. Taste is heavy sweet and light to medium bitter with a long warm, roasted, brown sugar, chocolate and vinous finish. Body is full, texture is oily, carbonation is soft.

Light body, surprisingly light brown color. Malty and floral, or maybe more like forestal. Juniper, tree bark, some booze. Sweet and smooth. Very interesting, in a good way.
