Bottle. Really good locking, pitch black body with a big, fluffy, well lacing beige head. Aroma is dominated by dark chocolate malt. Flavor is dark, moderate roasted malt, lots of dark chocolate, hint of coffee , some toast and relatively bitter without feeling particular hoppy. It’s almost something harsh bitter, not unpleasant but unbalanced. OK body and mostly bitter chocolate malt in aftertaste. Drinkable, but it feels a bit monotone and unbalanced.

Fra flaske på DSJT, Cardinal nov-16: brunsvart med flott skum. Mørkbrent malt og tynn solbærsaft i aroma og smak. Mild bitterhet. Kort og enkel. Alt i alt en uventet skuffelse, så denne må jeg prøve en hel flaske av for en grundigere vurdering. Kanskje det skyldtes at jeg tok den rett etter For-jul?
