Bottle sample at a tasting at Tom L’s place. Thanks Max & Stas. Dark brown with no head. Sourish aroma of caramel, balsamic vinegar, cherry, more fruits, oak, a bit of alcohol. Sweet-sourish flavor with caramel, mild vinegar, cellar, cherries, more dark fruits, oak. Medium-bodied. Very nice.

Bottle - Woody, malt and herbal notes. Deep brown with no head. Lots of Woody notes and malts with a thin finish. Lots of wood but too thin. Abv notes are all but gone.

330mL bottle, pours a dark mahogany with a small beige head. Aroma brings out a lot of balsamic vinegar, along with red wine barrels and oak. Flavour is quite complex, with balsamic, red wine and oak. Doesn't really taste like a Belgian, but it's a nice woody, vinous beer of some sort. Solid stuff.

Bottle from Birratrovo, Como
Dark brown color, headless, seemingly quite flat. In the aroma I get some chemicals, even a note of acetone; dark chocolate, sour wine. The mouthfeel is basically flat, hence a bit oily; good body strength, some malt flavor, too earthy, and I would be happier without the hint of sweet liquorice; some red wine, and some booze. Confused, but quite good.
To me, the dark chocolate and red wine don’t go very well together.

Hazy brown color, steady brown head. Woody and cellary aroma. Medium-bodied. Caramel, lavendel, wood, cellar in the flavor. Nice smooth palate. Their wood ageing gives too much cellary flavors to beers.

Bottled (thanks TBone!). Deep hazy ambery brown colour with a small beige head. Aroma is vintage wooden notes along with some sweet malts, raisins, wood and fruits. Flavour is sweet malts, some alcohol, raisins and toffee with a very big wooden tone to it. Feels like a good BSA that has got way too much wooden barrels in the flavour. I guess the barrel aging has been done for a too long time in this one...
