The Cotta 74 recipe is inspired by abbey beers, combining tradition and innovation. Distinguished by the use of Italian lentil and the wise selection of roasted and roasted malts, it has an intense brown color, fine and compact foam and a decisive and original character. The aroma of caramel and ripe fruit enhances its full and balanced body, the warm notes of dark chocolate and the complex aftertaste make it elegant and persistent.

Bottled, 0.75l. Murky dark brown color with medium light brown head and fair lacing. Aroma of yeast, dried fruits and mild alcohol. Taste starts with sweet caramel malt, then followed sour yeasty, grainy and fruity, finish is moderate bitter, while aftertaste is average long. Medium to full body, creamy texture and average natural carbonation in palate. Typical Italian-Belgian combination, not perfect, but good enough...

@Porec, Kroatie gekocht bij Kaufland caramelbruin, helder met minimaal witte kraag aroma: lichte caramel, gebrand mout, fruitig smaken: medium bruine suiker zoet, donkere fruiten, geroosterde- cara- en gebrande mouten, toffee, linzen medium body, dun, laag co2, afdronk: zoetig: weinig inspirerend bier, aroma doet volle smaken verwachten, helaas allemaal wat zwak/flets, daarnaast echter best wel drinkbaar. --- Beer merged from original tick of Cotta 74 on 25 May 2018 at 11:31 - Score: 6

27/07 A 0.75 fliptop bottle, as Cotta 42. It poured hazy brown body with medium sized head. Very fine lightly sweet caramel, chocolate and some dark fruits. Flavor was also a bit on the sweet side, dark chocolate, caramel, coffee and dogfood (which might be these lentils) . Medium bodied, even fuller with quite fine, long dark malt, pleasantly toasted (with some roasted characters) finish. Really good, but 7 euros for a bottle retail, well...

Another one thanks to heavy and his parents! MBU Cotta 42. Poured a murky brown cola body with a small off white head. Malty, slightly roasty coffee/carael sweetish aroma. Ok soft slightyl roasty, slightly creamy nice maly taste, vague fruitiness and yeah, vague lentils, which I might not have noted if I hadn’t read teh label but hey! They were there! Mild carbonation bite. Yeah, tasty.

Bottle at the ChrisO Flags of Many Nations Easter Tasting - London. Something I found down in East Dulwich and, since I love lentils, I couldn’t pass it up. Pours hazy, caramel-brown with a frothy, off-white cream head. Dusty cocoa in the nose, some lightly toasted bready malts. Medium sweet flavor with lightly toasted, bready malts, hints of creamy toffee. Light to medium bodied with fine, delicate carbonation. Moderate sweetness in the finish, well balanced, with toasted malts, some ripened fruits, toasted brown bread, hints of dry dirt and further dusty cocoa. Nice.

Bottled 375ml. -from Kaufland Karlovac. Amber/brown coloured, medium sized off-white head, malty caramel nose. Moderate malty, dried fruit and caramel with pleasant notes of chocolate and cocoa powder. Light spicy finish. Also discreet notes of alcohol but all in all ok brew.
