[as The Spaghetti Western, ABV 10.8] All'olfatto si esprimono sentori di sottobosco. La finezza olfattiva, permanendo in maniera apprezzabile. Il manto birroso superiore color marrone castagno resiste poco. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il colore è scuro impenetrabile. Il corpo è strutturato non pesante. Il dolce è medio in buon equilibrio con l'amaro medio. La forza gustativa è elevata e la durata è buona. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di birra beverina. Il retrogusto è intenso. Al gusto vengono donati toni di miele, frutta secca, agrumi, arancia, chiodi di garofano, frutta disidratata, rabarbaro, vino Porto, pepe bianco, caramello, salsa di soia, vaniglia e legno.

On tap at Uiltje. Felmelegedve az illata egy halvanyan, de biztosan ismeros edessegre emlekeztet, amit az istenert sem tudok azonositani. Gyonyoruen keverednek a gyumolcsos jegyek az klasszikus imp stout karakterrel, nagyon kerek, kellemes sor.

A super interesting iteration of the spaghetti western. Really enjoy the original version, as it is a very nice espresso imperial stout. The espresso impy character is retained nicely here, with the addition of fruity barrel notes that should be expected from a grappa BA. Never had a grappa BA in general and I think most beers would not really fit that finish, whereas this works really well.

Granige en kruidige koffie RIS op fruitige en licht boozy grappa. Het is vrij robuust allemaal, maar het werkt prima

Bottle @ Fermentoren. Pours pitch black with a medium brown head. Aromas of cocoa, tobacco, fruity coffee, chilies, slight vanilla, tequila-like booziness. Taste is cocoa beans up front, fruity coffee, malt, molasses, roasty notes with some licorice and slight alcohol. Barrels leave some oaky and woody flavours with some tart notes. Not much.

Bottle, thanks Raul. Big barrel, plastic, booze, sweetness. Mushrooms! Very nice. Prefered it before the barrel I think though. Full and rich, vinous.
