From tap at Café Sara. Good lacework from a tan-coloured head. All black body colour. Aroma of liquorice and dark malts. Likewise, the flavour character contains bitter liquorice balanced by dark malts with hints of coffee and chocolate. Long-lived, roasted bittersweet tail. Almost full bodied. Creamy in the mouth. Good drinking (relaxing on a Friday afternoon in friendly company with Ross, Rebecca and Oda, Oslo 28.03.2014).

750 ml hand numbered bottle, No. 1086, Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. ABV is 8%. Label artwork "Skull & Cross Blades" by The Dotmasters. Black colour, large tan head. Lovely roasty, fruity and spicy aroma, hints of plums, prunes, liquorice and tobacco. The flavour is fairly dry, and the mouthfeel is fairly light for an 8% dark beer. Distinct roasty notes of liquorice, coffee and dark bitter chocolate, also plenty of bittering hops. A discrete fruitiness in the background. Good beer.
