Tap @ Cardinal. Clear, deep brown body with a small, lacing beige head. Aroma has malt, caramel, toast and chocolate. Taste is sweet malt, caramel, hint of toast, light chocolate and some dry fruit. Fine body and slightly toasted in aftertaste. OK, decent brown ale, moderate aroma but pleasant in taste, quite straight forward with rich body.

On tap at Haandbryggeriet. It's a brown, dark brown, colored beer with a small beige head. The aroma has roasted malts and lots of bread crust. Some coffee and dried fruits. It's full bodied, smooth and softly carbonated. Quite dryish. Roasted malts, coffee, bread crust, oat biscuits and a faint touch of dried fruits and spices in the flavor. Lasting finish. A very fine brown ale indeed. 191214

Vi er samlet for nest siste gang før jul på Cardinal Mi2 med entusiasmen og humøret på topp, og ingen av delene blir ikke dårligere etter denne lekre nyskapningen fra Haandbryggeriet (eksklusivt for Cardinal)! Brunsvart med flott skum som varer. En solid og velsmakende brown ale, hvor jeg finner sjokoladekjeks, mørke karameller, hint av lakris, delikat urtebitterhet og diskret kokos. Velbalansert og meget lettdrikkelig. 3000 liter er produsert, revet kokos ble forsiktig tilsatt, og barsjef Audun fra Cardinal fulgte bryggingen med kunnskaper og argusøyne. Et tvers gjennom vellykket prosjekt.
