From bottle. Pours dark brown, with very abundant brownish head. Aroma is herbaceous and resinous at first, but licorice and honey come out when warmer. Nice evolution of this beer. Body is light. Taste is predominantly bitter. But again, it improves with time, seeming more balanced when warmer. Finish has some residual bitterness, but enjoyable.

12oz bottle I picked up in Italy pours a fairly deep brown with some lacing, beige head. Nose has a wild sour orange thing, almost pulpy, like grapefruit pith, soap, some crackery malt too, some sour grapes. Flavor has a lot of tart fruit, grape, even passion fruit, some raisin, prune, roasted grain, a little rubber. Full, tart finish. Interesting, not sure how they got here, maybe with some suspect dry hopping? Tastes a little like bad homebrew.

Draft @ XI Comandamento, Ferrara. Brune foncée, col café au lait. Arôme est malté, grillé avec un petit bouquet lactose agréable. Le tout est accompagné d’un léger bouquet houblonné laissant paraitre des pointes citronnées. Qcq notes de levure résiduelle. Palais est malté grillé, léger caramel café avec une petite dose chocolatée. Tout cela est bien en balance avec le profil houblonné qui offre des notes fruitées surtout au niveau des agrumes avec un côté très vert et frais. L’amertume se pointe plus en fin de bouche et trouve parfaitement sa place avec les différents malts.
