On tap at Cardinal, Stavanger. Golden colour, moderate white head. Aroma and flavour much like sweetened ice tea with "peach" flavour - which means dominant notes of artificial "peach" candy. Not very sour. The cardamom notes are quite discrete. Many young people will probably like this beer more than I did.

November 2013: 500 ml bottle, batch #643, from the brewery. ABV is 8.5%. Very dark brown colour, nearly black. Moderate tan head. Started drinking it a bit too cold. The aroma is first surprisingly moderate, some mild roasty and spicy notes. Improves as the beer warms up a little. Smooth mouthfeel and flavour. Mild notes of caraway and liquorice, on a base of lightly roasted malts. Enjoyable.

750 ml corked bottle, new at Vinmonopolet, as Diabolici, "brewed in BeNeLux for Anthony Martin". Note that it is brewed FOR them, and not BY them, so who the actual brewers are, remains to be investigated. ABV is 8%. This is closer to a tripel, and definitely not a dubbel. Golden colour, huge white head. Moderately spicy aroma, maybe somewhat less sweetish than your average tripel. The flavour is distinctly spicy, with some kandij sugar and a little caramel, but not too sweet. The alcohol is noticeable, but not overwhelming. A quite decent Belgian, but isn’t the idea of another "diabolic" beer name a bit worn out now?
