On tap @ Cardinal. Black body with a small, dense beige head. Aroma of hard roasted malt, liquorices and fruit. Flavor is moderate sweet, hard roasted malt, smoke and bacon. Feels soft and fruity, quite easy to drink and still pretty solid body. Wel balanced bitterness. Alcohol is well hidden. A very pleasant smoked beer.

On tap. Pours black with a beautiful ruby red glow and a creamy cappuchino-like head. Plenty of licorice in the nose, sweet Finnish licorice and some hard roast. There’s a slightly salty touch also but not a lot of honey. Some malt astringency with a slight tartness. 120311

First batch, on tap at Christian Firtal. Cloudy orange with a big and lasting white head. Aroma of orange, grapefruit, ripe tropical fruits and to a lesser degree, some pine and grass. Dry and very bitter flavour with a hint of biscuit maltiness far in the background. Fruity hop flavours. The bitterness gets a little raw, tobacco like (supposed to be fixed in following batches). October 2012: Definitely more subdued bitterness and more malt forward flavour

On tap, Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. Black colour, big beige head. Strong aroma of smoked meat / bacon, also roasty notes. The flavour has also strong smokey notes, and moderate roasty notes. A bit too much "smoked meat" for my taste. Not very sweet. A "German Rauchbier meets Baltic Porter"-experience.
