Kveldens sist4e flaske på Mi2, Cardinal des-15: klar kobbergylden med kort skum. Citrus, stikkelsbær og rognebær i aromaen, og smaken har et visst barley wine-preg. Innledningsvis ganske saftige saker, men den blir litt flat og endimensjonal etter hvert. Tørr avslutning. Fair enough.

Shared bottle at Cardinal, Stavanger. Pours clear amber with off-white head. Aroma of caramel; fruity. Tastes sweet with bitter finish. Not an imperial IPA, rather an American barley wine.

50cl bottle via trade with some terrible wax job that’s more annoying than anything to open the bottle. BB 14/08/2016. Brune foncée, col doré, café au lait laissant un filament huileux sur le verre. Arôme est malté, caramel, grillé, chocolaté avec un agréable rétro fruité noir. Palais est épais centré principalement sur les malts, chocolaté, grillé, belle note de fruits noirs rappelant le raisin et la date. Chocolat est bien là, palais est réchauffant, pointe d’épicé des houblons apportant une fine note d’amertume, sucre brun sur la fin avec une légère présence de levure. Solide, se buvant plus comme un scotch ale que un stout.

Bottle as Guanabara from Bottles N’ Bins in Monterey, CA. Pours very dark brown with a dark tan head. Aroma of darker milky chocolate and maybe sugar. Full bodied or nearly. Flavor is chocolate, some coffee, some dark treacle, and it finishes a lot less than dry, but somehow not exactly sweet. There is some heat, strongly in the gullet. Still, it drinks nicely, and it stands out from the common crowd, flavor wise.
