Bottiglia. All'olfatto si esprimono sentori di sottobosco. L'olfatto viene stimolato in maniera normale e il modo in cui permane è sufficiente. Il cappello di schiuma color marrone chiaro resiste abbastanza. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. La parte liquida si presenta velata. La frizzantezza si presenta sotto forma di perlage dalle bollicine medio-fini. Il colore è ambrato carico tendente rossiccio. Il corpo è strutturato. L'amaro è nella media. La forza gustativa è elevata. La continuità gustativa è buona.. Il gusto è piacevole. Il retrogusto è di decente intensità. Sul tetto della bocca finiscono note di caramello, miele, caffè, liquirizia, frutta secca, un accenno di resinoso quasi balsamico, erba, agrumi, uvetta bagnata nel rum, caldo e liquore.

Bottle in Rome, purchased from Domus Birrae. Hazy deep brown beer. Short lived cream coloured head. Softish palate, semi dry. Lacto cream, subtle dark chocolate. Dry finish. An okay sweet malty beer but as with too many other Italian beers I’ve had recently - a real lack of hops.

(Bottle 75 cl) Courtesy of fiulijn. Slightly hazy amber golden with a small, rough, off-white head. Aroma of caramel, yeast and diacetyl. Quite full-bodied, a little low in carbonation, notes of fruit, caramel and herbs. Some hoppiness in the finish with a distinct alcohol burn. 190408

Bottled. An unclear amber beer with a thin off-white head. The aroma is sweet with strong notes of hops, brettanomyces, wood, and fruit. The flavor is sweet malty with primary notes of over ripe fruits as well as lighter notes of alcohol, brettanomyces, and wood.

Blind tasting at Papsoes place, another great session, thanks Henrik! Beer #14: Pours hazy orange with a fully diminished off white head. Citric to acidic light fruity aroma. Light orange fruity flavour, sweet caramel malt. Light spiced and with notes of Belgian yeast. Nice sweet and light yeasty lingering finish.

Red, cherry-like colour, with small whitish head. Fruity, very fruity (cherries?) and a nose which has multiple acids (lactic,...) in it. Sweet alcoholic, malty, but again lots of lactic acid; sugarlike sweetness, without it being sugared. I keep getting cherries. Very full bodied, slick, alcohol and higher alcohols. Very rare beer, sampled very young, but very lovable already!
