Kveldens andre, også denne fra fat, på Mi2 Cardinal jan-16: brunsvart med højt beige skum som holder stilen upåklagelig til siste slurk er fortært. Aroma og smak av sjokolade, kokos, tørkede frukter og mørke malter. Myk, lettdrikkelig og overmåte behagelig. Deilig ettersmak, som cappucino sammen med en dessertsjokolade.

From tap, guest ale in a snit glass at Cafe Fiasco, Oslo. Dotted spots from a naked surface. Coal black body. Dark malty smell of liquorice and black chocolate. Vanilla chocolate flavours added by dark fruits. Roasted malt-fruity bitterness to the ending. Well bodied. Tasty, interesting blend(11.12.2015).

200ml draught at Nedre Foss Gård, shared with Finn. Tan-coloured head that stayed will and left spotty lacing behind. Clear ruby-brown body. Spiced aroma, nutty. Malt-accented taste of coconut and earth. Prolonged ending. Fine bodied. Like it (Oslo 11.12.2015).
