Il Montante is a Doppelbock to the lower border of the BJCP: slightly low on alcohol, but perfectly in line with the style for what concerns taste and aroma. A persistent, dense head opens the way to roasted malts which emerge at the first sip, together with caramel and toffee-like notes. Finish is dominated by raisin flavors and Aurora hops. We could call it a masterpiece without exaggerating. This is the beer you wouldn’t expect from Brewfist just because you made up a wrong idea about us until now.

Bouteille 33cl de et partagée avec Tderoeck & Didier @ Tim's Brewfist Italian night.
BB 30/06/2026.
Cuivrée, col fin blanc-cassé.
Arôme sur un bouquet bien malté qui donne de suite le ton de cette DoppelBock - léger crystal-grillé, chocolaté et caramel presque toffee, le tout est appuyé par un agréable nez fruité noir/sec.
Palais est sur une belle base de malt - toasté, cara pâle, fruits noir et sec en appui oscillant vers datte et figue. Petite pointe chocolatée avec un léger retrait levure - ester en support. Amertume est fine et plaisante en fin de bouche - assez florale.

Bottle at Persee, Deventer. Aroma is nice and rich sweet malts with caramel, toffee, lightly some cocoa. About medium sweet, light bitter. Body is medium. Pretty rich malts, good stuff.

16 September 2020. At Astral Beers Pub, Bologna. Shared with the lovely Anke! Hazy amber, unstable, frothy, tan head; some lacing. Aroma of red apple, raisin, milk chocolate ('koetjesreep'), peanut, brioche, fudge, liquorice, tea leaves. Taste has sweet dried banana, red apple & raisin in a brioche & fudge malt body, bit herbal & nutty bitter, retaining that accent into the herbal, slightly peppery hoppy finish, vaguely toasty with more dried fruits & warming liqueur alcohol. Medium body, oily texture, average carbonation. Enjoyed it a lot.

Draft. An amber beer with a beige head. The aroma has notes of caramel, malt, and a bit of alcohol. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, caramel, fruit, and a bit of alcohol, leading to a bitter finish.

Tap @So Good in Rome. Amber dark clear pour with a medium off-white cap. Nose: dark maltiness a bit raw with highlights of roots. Mouth: clean start, burnt malts a bit tart.
