Birra ambratadoppio malto, robusta nel corpo, possiede una esotica e potente carica aromatica.
Pietra miliare del Birrificio artigianale Troll, la Shangrilà è ispirata alle Belgian Strong Ale. Nelle miscele di spezie himalayane risiede il suo segreto!
Assolutamente da provare.

750 from Tanakaya. Malty, spicy, lightly funky nose, chocolate, berries. Rather closed nose. Deep reddish brown, clear, with lace. Rich malty flavor, chocolate and caramel with spices: I notice something curry-like. Spices are not all that huge, though. Lightly fruity, cherry and orange. Nice balance, nice body, full but still light enough. Just lacking a little something to reach greatness. Opened up nicely as it warmed. A very pleasant and drinkable spice beer. Spice was stronger in the second pour, as it seems to collect in the bottom.

Süßlicher, deutlich hefiger Beginn. Angenehm herb, ab dem Mittelteil bitter werdend, hier kommt auch eine leichte Alkoholigkeit auf. Trockene und leicht Säure zum Ende, Traubennuancen. 12/11/13/11//11

750 ml bottle @ RBNAG-11. Hazy amber/orange body with a small off-white head. Strange aroma of ripe (close to rotten) fruit and perfume, as strange as it might sound – not really unpleasant, just weird. Flavor is strange as well, overripe/rotten fruit, spices, some malt and apple cider. Medium body. Very unusually and probably not by intention, still not undrinkable and I think it’s becoming more like a mix of a spicy saison and well matured apple cider. Would really like to try it as it was intended to be.

0.75l bottle @ RBNAG11. Pours a light clouded pale orange body with a small bubbly sidesticking head. The aroma is light peachy, tones of alcohol, apples, light sweet and some pineapple. Average carbonation level and a oily mouthfeel. Some distinct tones of alcohol in the flavor, caramel, dry tannin-tones and some light sour hints in the light spicy finish. Strange stuff, and I'm not really sure what to think of it.

Shared bottle at RBNAG 2011. Amber colour. Moderate perfumed aroma, hints of acetone. Some malts in the flavour, bready notes, a slight acidity. Not impressive.

Bottle. Cloudy light amber, large off white head. Aroma of nutmeg, citrus, caramel. Taste is zippy, from spice and carbonation. Interesting.

Bottled 750ml (BB 12/2010, vintage 2009)
Slightly hazy deep amber color, small off-white head. Berryish aroma (red currant, caramel). Medium-bodied. Very berryish (fermented red currant juice) flavor with sweetish caramel and alcohol. Lingering alcohol and red currant juice in the aftertaste.
