7 3 7 3 14 Draft at Beer Temple, Amsterdam. Clear brown with a cream coloured head. Aroma of candy, caramel, overripe dark fruits and malt. Flavour is moderate to heavy sweet and moderate bitter. Medium bodied with soft carbonation.

Bottle. Pours an amber color with a small off-white head. Has a fruity malty spicy caramel dark fruit aroma. Fruity malty spicy caramel dark fruit flavor. Has a fruity malty spicy caramel and dark fruit finish.

Poured from a 22 oz bottle that’s at least a few years old. Aroma is malt forward with lots of dark caramel and toffee. Lighter toasted bread notes with hints of chocolate. Some light alcohol spice. Notes of candied plums, cherries and raisin. Some light phenolic notes with a cinnamon, nutmeg type character. Light oxidation in the form of wet cardboard that becomes more pronounced as the beer warms. Pours brown with some burnt amber hues and a medium sized, thick tan head that recedes to the edges where it lingers for a bit. Light lacing and medium length legs. Flavor is fairly sweet with a lot of caramel and raisin notes. Quite a bit of toffee with lighter toasted bread and faint chocolate notes. Down light cherry, plum and prune notes. Light alcohol spice. Notes of cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom and cumin. A bit of oxidation in the form of wet cardboard. Mouthfeel is medium to.medium.full bodied and a bit slick with moderate carbonation. Low astringency and medium low alcohol notes. Overall, this really isn’t my favorite style of beer and the oxidation hurts it a bit, but there are nice malt notes. The yeast character is also quite strong and works with the malt adding fruitiness and spices.

Bottle from Boise Co-op. Pours out a nice mahogany hue, small, soft beige head. Initial whiff of cherries had me thinking of a kriek. Taste changes the tone a bit with some pit fruit, raisins, dates and just enough Belgian yeast to wrap it all up. Comes off as a lighter weight quad. Very pleasant surprise.

Fra flaske på Mi2 Cardinal sep-16: rødbrun rav med fint skum som varer. Rik, maltdrevet aroma og smak med rosiner, fiken, røde bær, karamell, mørk kandis, søte appelsiner. Saftig, kompleks og lekker, dette er gode saker (og så tidlig på kvelden). Samtidig er den mild, slank og med farlig god ettersmak. Beware!
