Notater fra nok en hyggelig samling på Mi2 Cardinal 16.10.23: Servert fra keg, mørk kobberrød med fint skum som varer. Røde bær, sjokolade, barskog og svisker. Denne ble servert for kald, så den deilige maltkroppen kommer til sin rett når temperaturen i glasset stiger. Et deilig, maltdrevet øl for oss som også setter pris på det tradisjonelle.

On tap (not cask) at Cardinal, Stavanger. Pours dark copper with off-white. Aroma of caramel, dark dried fruits, dark bread, some hoppy notes. Tastes slightly sweet with balancing bitterness and some fruity sourness. Thin to medium bodied. Nice beer.

Cask-conditioned at the Phoenix York 12/9/2023. Dark brown in colour with reddish undertones and a tight, off-white, head. Lots of sweetish chocolate character upfront. The old ale then kicked in with some rich and slightly toasty malts, red berries, and oak before a malty finish with a touch of bitterness. Fine as a novelty, but this beer reminded me how good Old Peculier itself is, without any additives.
