A dark roasted coffee and vanilla porter with a hint of danger. A nod to the speed-crazed bikers who risked life and limb to race from one greasy spoon café to the next.

Almost black with a light brown, frothy head. Big vanilla aroma. Coffee grounds. Milk chocolate. Pleasant sniffing. Taste is sweet with some mild, lemony tartness and light acidity at the finish. Body is full, smooth, creamy. Not bad but not enthralling either.

Large foamy tan head stayed a near black still body. Coffee & cocoa aroma. Medium bodied, sharp on the front with a soft cloying back. Vanilla, sweet coffee, dark chocolate, marzipan & roasted tastes. Rough round the edges but a tasty one.

Notater fra årets siste Mi2 på Cardinal (vårt hjem fra hjemmet og et tempel for den formålsløse glede!). Det var lenge siden det siste edru blodomløp var ute av veien, så stemingen var helt upåklagelig da seremonimester Melberg bar inn kveldens første boksøl. Brunsvart ok skum. Moccabønner, melkesjokolader, cappucino (ikke nødvendigvis i den rekkefølgen). Mild, snill og sjarmerende.

Can @Les Vignerons (Rome). Nera, densa, impenetrabile, schiuma abbondante color cappuccino, mediamente persistente. Al naso note di caffè, vaniglia, cioccolato, cocco, leggera cannella. In bocca è dolce con chiusura amara. Corpo medio, carbonazione medio-bassa. Un po' forzata e stucchevole.
