Bottle 150 cl. Blind tasting. Courtesy of yespr. Pours an opaque brown with a ton of floaties and a small off-white head. Dry, nutty aroma, brown sugars and a little yeast. Medium body, dry overripe fruit, nuts, yeast, slightly tart with some phenols. The finish has both hops and alcohol. Quite interesting. 260511

Small yellow head over dark brown beer with red highlights. Nose with wood, liquorice, and more outspoken toffee aroma. Sweet taste, with liquorice flavours and easy malts, a bit winey. Burning MF, but well-bodied. Misses totally hops, for more equilibrium and balance. The cacao simply doesn’t do it. Rare beer, thanks Lorenzo!
