Bottle at ChrisO tasting, thanks to Henrik, 30/12/12. Mega Gusher !!! as rlgk touched on - he wore half the bottle about his person, Henrik and I got off lightly, one damp leg for me ! Hazed dark amber with almost no head. Nose is a little dungy, caramel, sweet sugars. Taste follows, sugars, dark toffee, sour fruit notes. Medium bodied with soft carbonation with some light bitterness in the finish. Ok stuff.

Bottle. Poured a murky reddish brown colour with a fading off white head. Nose of earthy fruit and malts. Flavour was similar with a little sourness and notes of yeast and spices. The fruit lingered on into the finish. Quite unique really. Not bad.

Bottle: Poured a clear reddish color ale with a rather large foamy head with good retention and some light lacing. Aroma of light sweet berries with light tart notes is quite interesting. Taste is also a good balanced mix between some tart notes mix in with lightly sweet berries notes. Acidity level is quite low and taste is only lightly tart and not sour. Body is about average with good carbonation. Not necessarily something I would drink on a regular basis but very interesting nonetheless.

Keg at the Rake. It pours deep red-brown, with a thin-white head. The nose is berry, jammy fruit, earth andcandy. The taste is berry, raisin, wood, varnish, leaather, saltiness, medicinal aspect and jam, with a dry finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Unusual....

Super hazy, muddy deep brown coloured body with a tint of ruby and even some rust colours with a dense, three centimetre tall deep tan almost light brown head. Aroma of malt, raisins, prunes, toffee, caramel, figs and a bit of citrus too. Nice smelling and sweet/fruit scents dominate. Medium-bodied; Assertive malt flavour with some bready yeast behind, a lot of lighter chocolate notes and some earthiness seeps in the back. Aftertaste is somewhat fruity with figs, raisins, prunes and a hint of cherries noticeable, but more malt, alcohol and caramel show through than anything else. Overall, an interesting beer with a lot of muddied malt and chocolate flavours with some alcohol and deep caramel running through. Nice to try, not one of my absolute favourites, but not a bad beer! I sampled this 50 cL bottle purchased from Liqour Outlet in Boonton, New Jersey on 22-July-2012 for US$9.95, sampled at home in Washington on 20-September-2012.

Fra fat på Cardinal: tydelig kreklingbær i aromaen, også i smaken. Frisk og syrlig uten å være sur. Deilig bærsmak. Litt assosiasjoner til porter. Har de brukt litt røykmalt? Flaske fra batch 552 med Ovesen (aktivitetsdag på Holmen): søtere en jeg husker den fra sist. Litt vandig både i munnfølelse og ettersmak. Ikke helt julaften, sier skibsrederen.

Unclear brown, off-white foam, a bit sour aroma with hints of wild berries. Hints of berries in taste.
