750 ml bottle, Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. "French Style Stock Ale - Ale Aged in Oak Barrels". ABV is 7%. Hazy amber to brownish colour, large off-white head. Strong aroma of farmhouse. horse blanket, lemons, oak and apple cider vinegar. Medium sour flavour with lemony and oaky notes, fairly distinct and peppery hops in the finish. "Beware the ides of March!"

Pours a cloudy brown color. 2/3 inch head of an off-tan color. Great retention and great lacing. Smells of sweet malt, alcohol, strong bacterial funk, fruit, and yeast. Fits the style of a French Biere de Garde. Mouth feel is sharp and crisp, with an average carbonation level. There is a strong tartness and dryness. Tastes of sweet malt, alcohol, strong bacterial funk, fruit, slight wine, and yeast. Overall, good appearance, blend, aroma, adn body.
