75 cL bottle. Pours cloudy to hazy orange with a creamy off-white head. Mild spiced hoppy aroma. Smooth caramel malty and mixed with a nice bitterness. Smooth hoppy and mild flavour with a medium dry yet also mild creamy/mellow yeasty touch into the finish.

Medium offwhite head with coarse froth on top. Hazy light amber body. Strong earthy herbal licorice aroma, kind of unbalanced. Dry fruity hoppy taste with herbal malty notes. Dry herbal medicinal aftertaste with papery malty notes. Nice, but unbalanced. (0.75l bottle at Mulligan’s, Milan.)

An orange beer with no head. The aroma is sour, malt, and hops. The flavor is sweet malt, caramel, and somewhat flat.

Colour is foxy-orange, very little head, cream-white. Nose: DIACETYL!! D*MN! Taste is diacetyl again, but thank God, less. Hoppy flavour, resembling English hops - some English bitters have some levels of diacetyl too, indeed. Mouthfeel is also a little oily. Good body. There is no escaping the diacetyl flavour, not in the aftertaste neither, even not with all the hops here. What can I say? If I get hold of another bottle, I'll try again. When will they learn the merits of lagering and warm/cold storing?

Beautiful as always. But, like Tipopils, this is the ghost of what used to be. I regret not having a second chance during this trip to Italy to confirm, in case it was just me on a wrong day.

Beautiful color, red - amber, hazy, with a thick and generous creamy head. Nice aroma, of malt and some hop; perfumy; some alcohol too. Good mouthfeel, solid; sweet malt stickyness; it has a very good mix of malt, caramel, hop, with a touch of vanilla, honey and wood, dynamic; getting warmer, a powerful malt releases all its flavor, smashing the tastebuds. High bitterness level. It seems to be more powerful than the 6.2% would suggest; overall it's softer, more round and more malty than a classic Bock; take your time to warm this incredible brew (at least 30 minutes), and you will be rewarded with a world class beer. Amazing.

Hazy amber color; creamy head. Aroma of malt, very good hopping, a bit fruity; persistent. Full body, well malty, some sweetness, caramel, warming, correctly bitter.
Excellent!

Amber colour, beautiful head. Light aroma, malt, yeast. Alcohol. Good body, smooth, lightly sweet, malty, then more equilibrated; candy sugar, light caramel; final more hoppy and dry. Nice palate, hoppy and aromatic.
