Day 224: August 12, 2015
Diary entry:
Another good Wednesday. Great session in the morning on Project #3, and good progress on the other initiatives I have going on right now.
Plus I made it to the gym after work.
The Beer:
Name: Cárdenas Stout
Style: Stout
Producer: Cervezas Cárdenas
Alcohol content: 3.8%
Bottle size: 0.33l
Purchased from: Duty Free shop in Andorra
Cardenas Stout by Cervezas Cardenas from near Seville, Spain. Guinness in style. A bit more bitterness. Not quite as smooth. Only 3.8% ABV, which does tend to a bit more watery finish.
Commercial Description:
Produced in the British tradition of dark beers but with a twist that makes it unique, because it takes star anise, which enhances the nuance of licorice beer. A unique beer greatly appreciated by those who have tried it, earning criticism even from those who had never tasted a dark beer.
