Flaske 0,33l fra Vinmonopolet, Bestillingsutvalget. Drukket i heimen 23 Jul 12. Mørk brun. Høyt luftig skum som varer. God fruktig aroma. Plommer. Fyldig fruktsmak. Aprikos & mandler. Smaken veldig fyldig. Sherrypreg. Flott bitter & tørr fruktig ettersmak. Veldig bra - men ble litt heftig som matøl.

0.33l bottle. This one pours a unclear deep dark bronze body with a disappointing bubbly and sidesticking off-white head. It smells quite nice with sweet caramel, dried fruits and plums. Impressive. The flavor also is surprisingly tasty! A bit spicy and almost burned-caramel sweet with a good bitterness all the way. It's average carbonated with a light oily mouthfeel. Ends off bitter with clear references to both chocolate and chocolate paper, leaving my mouth sorta dry. I liked this one. Quite a different bitter. 30.06.2012

Bottle. A murky, orange-brown beer topped by a dense, finger-thick light beige head. Very lightly roasted on the nose, with caramel, resiny hops and some nutty hints. Quite pleasant, even though it feels a bit too straight forward. Slightly too carbonated, medium to full body, semi-dry. The flavor has a little sourness, hope it’s the malt playing, not any funk. Besides that, there’s roasted notes, caramel, grassy, resiny hops and an appropriate bitterness. Some sweetness to support the mostly bitter finish. Overall, a beer that doesn’t impress, but it’s a tasteful and easy drinkable beer that I could easily down a few of. 120812

Cream to tan medium head, rather stable over dark amber-red beer. Bit caramelly, even like pale caramel toffees. Bit of sulphur, dark candi sugar, autumn leaves. Smells more like a dark Bock than an ale. Dry-woody-bitterish, even stripper. Severe, but pleasing if you like this kind. Surprising little bitterness. Bit of dark chocolate warming up. Very slick, medium bodied,; dry, tannin-rich aftertaste. Nice. Yet another excellent Italian beer.

330 ml bottle, from Vinmonopolet, nettbutikken. ABV is 5.6%, 40 IBU.Hazy reddish brown colour, huge off-white head. The aroma has malty, fruity and woody notes, a hint of infection. Fizzy mouthfeel. The flavour is quite dry and woody, with loads of bittering hops in the finish, but not much complexity. Not very pleasant nor well balanced. Won’t buy again.

27/VII/2012 - 33cl bottle from Geers (Oostakker) @ home - BB: 30/IV/13 - (2012-762)
Clear amber red beer, big yellow to beige creamy head, very stable, adhesive. Aroma: citrus, little metallic, grassy, some paint, touch of caramel sweetness, some overripe fruits. MF: soft carbon, medium body. Taste: citric start, pretty fruity, grassy, bitter hops, some grapefruit, caramel and malty backbone. Aftertaste: some toast, caramel, bit grassy, some citrus. ESB? I'd say APA, but that's just me... I'm suspecting American hops in this one...

Bottled 330ml (Superbirra festival Genova, BB 04/2013)
Clear deep ruby color, small beige head. A bit toasted aroma, also some vegetably notes. Light to medium bodied. Nutty, a bit caramelly front, then some vegetables/yeast. Aftertaste has lingering bitterness and toasty notes. Decent, but with some homebrewish feeling.

Bottle at home. Pours a hazy deep nut brown colour with a big frothy, pretty compact beige head. A lot of wood and nuts in a very rich and a bit complex aroma. I also sence some cinnamon and pepper, cocoa as well. Surprisingly light and slick mouthfeel. The flavours also contain wood and nuts, but leather too. Some roasted malt in the end with a hint of coffee. Bitterness = medium+, and lasts. A beer that is something for it self, interesting but maybe a bit unbalanced in the flavour. Decent enough though.
