Bottle. A beer so dark I’d mistake it for a stout or porter by looking at it. It’s brown, but borderline black, with a minimal sized dark beige head. The aroma is rather roasted, with dark chocolate, some coffee and a pleasant piney touch. It’s full-bodied, smooth and slightly sweetish on the palate, with roasted malts and dark chocolate dominating the flavor. There’s bitterness too, but considering that the brewery says it’s and American-style Brown Ale I’d prefer more of both bitterness and the piney, resiny hops. Some nuts and brown sugar too. Lasting finish that is a bit on the sweet side. Overall, sure nice. A beer that I wouldn’t mind repeating. 151130

500 ml bottle, batch #008, Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. ABV is 9.0%. Cloudy brown colour. low off-white head. Aroma of medium roast malts and piney hops, also hints of fresh brown bread. Very sweet, very resinous and bitter flavour, unbalanced and unharmonious.

Bottled@AIH53 (Vinmonopolet, Kirkenes). Orangeish amber colour, small white head, which leaves some lace. Aroma is citrus, tropical fruits and mild toffeeish notes. Flavour is fruity, floral, some toffee, yeasty and mild wooden notes. Balanced and ok, but still quite much on the yeasty side.

Mørk brun klar med fingerhøyt beige skum. Lukter sesamolje, nøtter og mørke frukter. Lett bitterhet i smak, nøtter og dyp søtlig fruktighet fra svisker og mørke frukter. Kort noe kakaopulver og kaffe i avslutning.

Flaske (batch 007, bb. 250916) fra Vinmonopolet Verksgata, hjemme: brunsvart med fint skum som blir til en tynn film. God aroma av brent brød, nøtter og knekk. Smaken likeledes, med behagelig karbonering og myk fylde. Avrundet bitterhet med ristet brød, knekkebrød og rugkjeks i ettersmaken. Lett å gripe etter glasset igjen.

50cl bottle from Vinmonopolet Storo, Oslo. Pours slightly hazy dark amber with a rather modest off-white head. Hoppy aroma with pine, fruity notes and solid dose of caramel. Sweet and malty with piney and some citrusy flavours and an almost harsh bitterness. Not very Christmassy, but quite drinkable. --- Beer merged from original tick of El Jucan DIPA on 13 Nov 2015 at 17:40 - Score: 6

Fra flaske på DSJT, Cardinal nov-15: rødlig mahogny med ok skum. Et snev av spanske appelsiner i aromaen - er det julealibiet? En kraftig og velsmakende imp.ipa med god balanse, fyldig smak av grape/appelsin og furunål, og med en halvtørr, lang og behagelig bitterhet i ettersmaken. Fin munnfølelse og samtidig farlig lett å helle over drøvelen. God medisin for kropp og sjel i den kalde&mørke årstid.
