5580 Salikatt Cardinal's Brown Ale Norway Brown Ale 4.0

Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 8 | Flavor: 8 | Overall: 8

On tap at Cardinal. Very dark brown colour, nearly black. Moderate beige head. Pleasant aroma and flavour of moderately roasted malts, roasted nuts, dark chocolate and mild coffee, and enough bittering hops to make the beer very moreish. This is more of a porter than a brown ale in my book, but I don't mind, as I love porters.

5583 Salikatt Christmas On Fire West Coast IPA Norway Imperial IPA 3.4

Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 6 | Overall: 7

Rerate, 440 ml can, from Vinmonopolet, Nettbutikken. ABV is 8.0%. Moderately hazy yellow to orange colour, moderate to small white head. Aroma of yellow fruits. The flavour is first fruity, sweet with yellow stonefruits and citrus, ending in a rather dry and sharp ashy and resinous bitterness. Original rating: Sample from tap at Cardinal, Stavanger. My notes differ so much from others that I wonder if the wrong beer was on tap ... Golden colour, white head. Moderate grainy aroma. Very dry and slightly smokey / ashy flavour. Not very interesting at all. Well, it was drinkable, but from Salikatt I expect something much better.
