July 2020: 330 ml can, Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. ABV is 12%. Pitch black colour, large brown head. Intense and nearly sickly sweetish aroma of roast malts, chocolate, vanilla, caramel and pecan nuts. Sweet (but not cloying) flavour with the same elements as the aroma, also notes of mild coffee, oak, whisky and moderate bittering hops.

December 2017: On tap at Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. Black colour, no head. Sweetish aroma of pecan nuts, hazelnuts, chocolate and roast malts. Sweet flavour with the same element as the aroma, a good dessert beer, but hard to drink more than a small glass.

October 2018: 500 ml can, as Omnipollo / Tired Hands Raspberry Milkshake IPA, Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger.. ABV is 7.2%. Hazy deep red colour, large pink head. Aroma of raspberries. Distinct flavour of raspberries, citrussy hops in the background. Very tasty, but I refuse to believe that this is an alias of the Mexican Vanilla Pina Colada. Hardly any vanilla, nor any sign of pina colada here.

October 2016: 330 ml bottle, Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. ABV is 8%. Cloudy yellow colour, low white head. Strong aroma of mango and fruity hops, also notes of pine needles. The flavour is first sweet and full of mango, then aggressive hops take over with a grapefruity and resinous bitterness.
