Not much head, veiled copper beer. Caramel, toffee - intensely so. Almost like caramel syrup-covered sweets. Bit of human sweat, sweet, again a light sourishness as in other chestnut beers. Finish is more neutral, with very faint woody-bitterish hints. Quite slick, not much carbonation, flat. Sticky in a mild way. Decent flavours, but not very lively, shame. Thanks to Stef!

Il gusto al naso resta attratto da orzo, castagna e affumicato. L'intensità olfattiva è normale e il modo in cui permane è sufficiente. Il cappello di schiuma ha una scarsa tenuta. La grandezza delle bollicine è media. Il liquido è di apparenza velata. Il colore è ambrato scarico. Il corpo è rotondo. L'amaro è discreto e anche con una punta moderatamente acidula. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di facile beva. Il finale è semplice e dissetante. Il retrogusto è delicato. Al palato arrivano miele, cereali, agrumi e castagna.

Bottle from Mentelocale open air cafe in Genoa’s old port area. Pours a hazy amber brown with a small off white head. Aroma of butter popcorn, herb and stewed veg. Medium sweetness, light bitterness, touch sour. Medium body, slight sticky texture, average carbonation. Finish is buttery, with a light herbal bitterness. Was a grower this one.

Bottle in Genoa, purchased from an Enoteca on the seafront parade. Hazy amber beer, bubbly off white head. Light dry palate. Sourish tangy orange and citrus. Fine carbonation. Not sure if this is meant to be sourish, it’s okay though!
