Bottle at home. Pours a hazy reddish brown colour with a light brown, creamy, medium head. Malty aroma with oak, heather, some leather and is slightly sour. The flavor is a light version of the same and is still slightly sour with a touch of oak. Has a slick mouth feel, and a light bitterness. A little strange ale but is interesting and balanced. The flavour is a bit light though.

750 ml bottle, available at Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger (limited quantity). ABV is 8%. Hazy reddish brown colour, moderate off-white head. Malty aroma with distinct notes of honey. Moderately acidic and distinctly fruity flavour. Some honey notes, but not too sweet. Low bitterness. Refreshing for its strength, not too bad.

Fra flaske på DSJT Cardinal nov-13: fruktig aroma, men flat og uinspirerende smak. En skuffelse for meg som er så glad i honning (som er et innslag i denne).

Cloudy amber color; medium sized head. Light aroma, with some vegetables. Sweetish flavor; the body is not up to expectations; the flavor has some fruitiness and some yeast. Low bitterness.
Mediocre beer.

Bottled. An unclear dark amber beer with a huge lazing beige head. The aroma has notes of malt and caramel. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, caramel, and alcohol, leading to a dry finish. Thanks yespr for sharing.
