A deep amber beer with a fine, compact, white head. Its fragrance is captivating with hints of honey and candied fruit accompanied by a reassuring note of alcohol. On the palate, the sweet taste of malt is released with delicate fruity notes and an intense, persistent finish.

Bottiglia. Il gusto al naso resta attratto da lievito e sottobosco. L'olfatto viene stimolato in maniera elevata e l'esistenza olfattiva è apprezzabile. Il manto birroso superiore è caratterizzato da una schiuma che resiste poco. Le bollicine sono grandi. Il liquido si presenta opaco. Poche bollicine fini costituiscono la forma del perlage. Il colore è ambrato carico tendente rossiccio. Il corpo è strutturato. Il dolce è medio in buon equilibrio con l'amaro medio. La forza gustativa è elevata. La continuità gustativa è buona. Il retrogusto è di decente intensità. Sulla lingua si attestano impressioni di miele, frutta secca, agrumi, arancia e frutta disidratata.

Bottle from Il Birratroo, Como
Red-amber colour, hazy. Strong but smooth; fruity character, some breadcrust aroma. I'm puzzled, it's a fruity strong beer, but it's by far not a Barley Wine.

Poured from 33cl bottle. Lightly hazed copper brown with small white head. Malty dark fruits, sweet-ish, feint oxidation note, not a ton of depth, but it's fine.

330ml bottle. Cloudy, dark amber colour with minimally late awakening, small, dense, creamy, moderately lasting and lacing, sulphueous, beige head. Rather monotonous, caramel malty aroma, a minimally woody touch, whiffs of candied orange peel, lemon peel. Taste is oaky, woody, citrusy fruity hoppy and caramel malty without residual sweetness, notes of lemon juice, lemon peel; really concentrated lemon flavours; well hidden alcohol. Acid thinned, minimally viscous texture, smooth and soft palate, fine, soft carbonation. Immensely citrusy fruity taste, concentrated lemon, quite boring aroma gives no hint to what to come; seemingly light, dangerously drinkable (+1 for drinkability) - overall just mediocre.

Hazy amber-golden beer with a mossy sheen and some lace from a huge, cream-pinkish head. Sweet, hint of vanilla, strawberry, fusels, candy syrup, 'hot'. Sweet, raisins and grapes, preserved oranges. Alcohol & fusels. Again some strawberry, blue grape. Wood too, and a tad acidity as from orangejuice with CO². Good carbonation, full bodied, alcoholwarming, creamy. Quite good if short of excellent Barley wine; powerful, sweet but just not too sweet. Txs to Stef!
