On tap @Mad for Beer (Rome), Birrathon. Fusto del 2015. Bruna intensa con schiuma bianco sporca media e persistente. Al naso sentori di frutta candita, caramello, cioccolato, nota alcolica presente ma non invadente, lieve erbaceo. In bocca è ben equilibrata, attacco maltato dolce con finale amaro. Corpo medio, inferiore alle attese, carbonazione leggera. Non male, ma manca un bel po’ di corpo.

750ml capped bottle poured into a Duvel tulip. Almost no head, just a little bubbly lacing with a dark brown, almost black color. Appearance is flat and so is the feel of the beer. Ohhhh, a la Lost Abbey - whack!!! Aroma is full of the adjuncts. I get tea and coriander....and stale old malt. Flavor pretty much the same. Nice adjuncts and the aged malt works well with the beer. However, it’s flat, old, and dead tasting. I’m glad I didn’t pay for this bottle- but also glad I tried it. I would like a carbonated bottle that wasn’t quite as old. I like my beer with less cardboard...and more carbonated... is that so hard?
