Bottle. Pours a hazy amber with a slight brown hue and a light brown head that lasts and laces nicely. Aroma has a slight wine note that combines surprisingly well with a strong sweet malt backbone with sweet grain and biscuit. Flavor began surprisingly wine forward with dry near tart red fruits that mellowed to allow caramel, biscuit and sweet grains come out for an interesting finish. Different but enjoyable.

A reddish amber ale with a thick creamy moka head. In aroma, sweet malt, very herbaceous, fusel alcohol, pretty intense. In mouth, a rather surprising (in a bad way) mix of sweet candy sugar and sourish notes, off and unpleasant, medium bodied. Bieropholie import, tasted with GRM, Probstk and Mike H., Oct. 8 2010. 7-3-5-2-9 A reddish copper ale with a thin light mocha head. In aroma, nice sweet caramel malt with light vinous notes, candy sugar, light coriander, nice and smooth. In mouth, a nice roasted caramel malt with dark fruits, prunes, figs, light treacle, alcohol warmth, very nice. Bieropholie Import, BB 15/12/2011. 8-3-8-4-16

(Bottle, 0.33 l, at Pikkulintu) Poured dark brown and cloudy. Head was medium sized and white. Aroma contained intially malts and molasses and after the beer had warmed up a bit the aroma was dominated by paint thinner. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were malts, paint thinner, raisin, mild roastedness, boiled vegetables and mild bitterness. Aftertaste was sweet and bitter. If you drink this drink it very cold and really quickly.

11.2 bottle from Oak Tree. Pours hazy ruddy with a 3 finger off-white/beige head. Aromas of dark fruit resembling date/raisin and some warm caramel. Near medium body with rather spritely/fizzy carbonation. It’s a little herby, a little oaky, and lightly bitter. It actually suddenly gets pretty bitter. A different beer - as so many of these Italian crafts are. Takes getting aclimated to. Definitely worth the experience. Wonder if there are chestnuts? Suddenly it comes to me that it’s a little sour. Even better.
