Sampled at Gunnfryds Barmy Army New Year’s ticker party 2017. Unclear dark orange body with a tan head. Aroma has sweet malt, dry fruit and Belgium yeast. Flavor is sweet caramel malt, dry fruit, fruity yeast and banana with hint of warming alcohol. Fine balanced body and long lasting sweet malty aftertaste. Quite sweet but in a Belgium way, not very original but a solid brew in the Belgium tradition. Enjoyable.

Bottle. It’s a hazy dark orange-golden beer with a dense, beige head. The aroma has some alcohol, with caramel, dried fruits and a touch of pine cones. It’s full-bodied, warming and pleasantly carbonated, with caramel, bread and dried fruits in the flavor. Decent bitterness. Long caramel finish with dried fruits and bread. Not much interesting this one. 170107

500ml bottle bought at Vinmonopolet Sentrum Tromsø. One-finger sized head slowly diminishing over a dark copper coloured body with a slight haze. Scattered lacing. Smell of dark and dried fruits. Rich and well blended taste of brittle caramel, cinnamon, figs, almond and mid-sweet marmalade. Prolonged finish. Full bodied. Warming, nice sipper on a Friday eve (Tromsø 08.12.2016).

500 ml bottle, Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. ABV is 9.0%. Dark brown colour, moderate off-white head. Aroma of caramel and brown kandij sugar, also notes of Christmas spices and alcohol. The flavour is medium sweet, with the same elements as in the aroma, also some dark dried fruits. Despite a slight booziness, the beer is dangerously drinkable.

Fra flaske på DSJT, Cardinal nov-16: brunlig kobber med ok skum. Nydelig, saftig og balansert aroma og smak med svisker, mørke bær, kandis og krydder (fra gjæren?). Lekker bitterhet, elegant og farlig lettdrikkelig. Et stykke krydderkake ved siden gjorde virkelig susen.
