Bottled. An amber beer with no head. The aroma has notes of malt, honey, caramel, and wood. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, caramel, and alcohol, leading to a dry finish. Thanks fiulijn for sharing.

Bottle, courtesy of fiulijn. Pours cloudy deep amber with no head. Aroma is overripe fruity and dark malty. Sweet, dark caramelish, vanilla and slight wooden. Lingering smooth caramelish and subdued fruity. Elegant, fragile and smooth. Lasting dark malty impression, sweet and phenolic mixed with alcohol.

The Xyauyù Ultimate tasting

Hazy color, dark amber, with red hue; flat. Caramel aroma, with some oxidisation, like a dubious quality Madeira and Chinese rice wine, some alcohol and very light phenol; later there is a very light fruity note (prunes); not extremely inviting overall. Sweet malt flavor, very sugary and sticky; therefore the alcohol constitutes a pleasant note. The final is just sweet, without much else to say. Good for a sweet tooth like mine, but really not much complexity in this one.

Big, huge, massive thanks to SHIG for trucking this beauty across the pond for us Tampa geeks to lush over. I owe you one Shawn! Pours still clear copper without the slightest sign of a head. The aroma pushes up sweet dark fruitiness like figs, prunes and plums as well as caramel and some mild booziness. The taste is smooth as silk and sweet like nectar and coming across as a rich sweet dark fruit juice reduction of plums, pears and figs mixed with iced cider and a modest level of creamy caramel candy. This one is yummy sweet nectar goodness.

Bottle: Poured a caramel brown with no head. The aroma is boozy and sweet caramel. The taste is sweet caramel malt, dark fruit, and boozy tongue all of which actually hides the 13% alcohol. #100 Italian beer rate!

Cheers to Shig for the share. pours amber, no head. aroma and flavors, lots of dark fruit goodness here, sweet candi caramelized sugars, hints of floral hops hinting toward a blossom louthfeel. abv is subdued even at 13% this beer is going down smoothly. The caramel sugar reminds me of baked apples leaving a nice sirupy finish.

No head, clear cognac colour. Whisky nose, whisky malt, distilled if anything. Raisins, sweet, brandy, sultana’s, smoked malt in the finish. Syrupy, oily MF, alcoholwarming; A bit too sticky. That was to say something negative. OTOH, it is a rich, powerful brew. And it costs the earth, but I still recommend it.
