75 cL bottle. Pours hazy dark orange with a huge off-white head. Aroma is milky and roasted caramelish malt. Fruity and slight hops spiced. Spiced and dry flavoured, light fruity note. Ends dry and bitter into the finish. Lovely.

Bottle 75 cl. Courtesy of yespr. Pours an almost clear amber with a lively yet dissipating off-white head - comes as a slow gusher. Tart, leathery nose. Medium body, lively carbonation, big champagne-like bubbles. Caramel and tart fruit, leathery astringent - almost Bretty. 231109

No head, copper-foxy beer. Solvent, diacetyl, powerfull and imposing - and not pleasing. Sharp MF, not finished, worts in full fermentation, hence the diacetyl, etc. Slick, buttery MF... Finish the beer, please.

Cloudy amber color, poor head. Regular ale, grainy, a bit malty, sweetish, low bitterness. Enjoyable, correctly brewed but a bit simple.

Bottled@SBWF2008. Amber colour, mediumsized beige fluffy head. Aroma is fruits, caramel, yeast and some mild toffeeishness. Flavour is hops, fruits, caramel and some mild notes of grass. Wellbalanced, but a bit boring.

(Bottle, Monk’s Café, Stockholm) Hazy, amber colour with brief, frothy, beige head. Malty, fruity nose with notes of orange and raspberries. Malty taste with dried fruit, orange and caramel. Slightly grassy, citrussy finish. A bit sweet, but nice and well balanced. Less exciting than most of the other Ducato beers though.
