102 Rygr Valhall Barley Wine Pedro Ximénez Sherry Barrel Norway American Barleywine 3.9

Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 8 | Flavor: 8 | Overall: 8

330 ml can in cardboard cylinder, at Cardinal, Stavanger. ABV is 14%. Black colour, small tan head. Aroma more of bourbon than sherry, distinct oak and vanilla, a hint of fusel alcohols. Warming mouthfeel. Very sweet flavour, notes of sweet sherry come through, distinct oak again, notes of raisins, moderate hops. A nice treat to satisfy your sweet tooth, but I'd recommend sharing the can between two persons.

103 Azvex Mana Piña Colada Smoothie Sour United Kingdom Fruit Beer 3.6

Aroma: 6 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 8 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 7

440 ml can, at Cardinal, Stavanger. ABV is 6%. Thick texture, does indeed look like a Piña Colada smoothie, opaque pale yellow colour. The can must be turned upside-down a few times prior to opening. Aroma of pineapple and coconut. Flavour again of pineapple, coconut and alcohol - in a blind test, I might have been fooled to believe that this was a real Piña Colada longdrink. Not very sour. So if you think you don't like beer, but love a Piña Colada: try this beer! I am so fortunate to like both a variety of beers, AND Piña Coladas - lucky me!
