Bottiglia. Un territorio olfattivo dominato dal lampone. L'intensità olfattiva è normale e il modo in cui permane è sufficiente. Il cappello di schiuma è destinato a vita breve. La grandezza delle bollicine è media. Il colore è scuro impenetrabile. Il corpo è rotondo. L'amaro è medio. La forza gustativa è normale e si prolunga in modo sufficiente. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di facile beva. Al gusto vengono donati toni di lampone, zucchero e miele.

330ml bottle. Cloudy, nut brown colour with redd-ish woof and very small, bubbly, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, off-white head. Slightly weak, mellow, fruity aroma, restricted notes of raspberry, a touch of honey. Taste is sweet-ish fruity, mellow, slightly restricted and minimally diluted notes of raspberry, hints of honey with a minimally earthy touch. Concurrent viscous and watery texture, soft and minimally cloying palate. Nice and harmonious composition, sadly with a lack of body and intensity.

Fles thuis geprobeerd tijdens micro tasting. Het is een donkerbruin bier met een rode gloed. Het heeft weinig tot geen schuim. Het heeft een fruitige wat zoete geur. De smaak is moutig, gebrand en fruitig, cassis achtig.
