Notater fra en hyggelig kveld på Mi2 Cardinal. Etter mange gode, lyse fatøl er vi nå ved kveldens første mørke: brunsvart med tett beige skum som varer. Mørkrøstet malt, nytraktet kaffe, mørke dessertchokolader samt litt einer/harpiks. Deilig maltkropp og fin urtebitterhet i avslutningen. Yummi.

Can picked up from Walther Mai, München and consumed sat in Frank in Bodenmais, Friday 28th February 2025 after a loop walk from Bodenmais to Riesloch-Wasserfälle and a bit further on, it was really snowy up the mountain, in fact quite heavy. We had Pastitsio for tea tonight and we're listening to Afrodeutsche on 6Music. Okay finally onto the beer. Pours black with a tan head, maybe beige, difficult to be certain in this light. Rich and indulgent lots of chocolate some toffee and caramel thick, oily texture, plenty of flavour, very moreish and easy drinking considering the abv. I really like this.
