Can. Thx to whoever from Jæren I got this, highly appreciated. The best before date was difficult to read, but looks like some time in Nov 2028 or 2019. No problem for this beer, it's still smashing. Not much oxidation going on either. Roasted malts, toffee, molasses, some coffee and licorice and a hint of dark dried fruit in the aroma. Just a vague hint of alcohol even though it's at double digits ABV. It's full-bodied, lightly warming and very softly carbonated, quite sweet, yet with a dryish touch. Roasted malts, molasses, dark chocolate, toffee, prune, raisin and some bitterness in the flavor. Brown sugar notes towards the end, along with a good dash of salty licorice and some alcohol. Warming and long lasting finish. Sure a fine one, pity Ego closed down, they brewed quite a few fine beers. 240405

Black with a light brown head. Aroma of chocolate, licorice and some roasted malt sense. Sweet with a licorice and roasted malt ending. Like

Litt motstridende nfo om holdbarhet, men den har holdt seg bra. Kaffe i aroma, samt kokos som kommer bedre frem med litt oppvarming og litt vanilje i bakgrunnen. Men altfor ung ennå. Dog har den potensiale.

2020, og vi er nå godt i gang med programmet for årets sesongstart på Mi2 Cardinal. Seremonimester Melberg har åpnet for innspill, og denne jeg fikk flere av mine ønsker innfridd, bl.a denne. Brunsvart med ok skum. Tjære, litt røyk, grunnsmøring for treski, mørke sjokolader, franskbrent espresso, samt en liten bit mørk lakrissjokolade. Lekker, passe tørr og farlig lettdrikkelig for sitt vitamininnhold.
