2008-02-23, bottle at La Cava dei Sapori (restaurant in Como), 7-4-8-4-15=38
When warmer, it has a nice malty aroma, a bit sour; good body, a bit alcoholic, with strong malty flavor, perfumy, and in the end there are nice English hops. Good, but in the bottle it’s less interesting than draught.

Mahogany color; creamy head. Malty aroma, with a touch of caramel. Very good malty flavor with caramel, quite thick body, sweet, a light fruitness (from the yeast). Everything is perfectly balanced by the bitterness. In the end there is a trace of yeast flavor too. You feel the alcohol in the head, not in the mouth. It can be a Belgian Strong Ale, or a Barley Wine.

2005-12-26, draught at the brewpub, 7-5-8-4-15=39
Hazy dark amber color; creamy head. The aroma is malty, but shows a light infection or wrong fermentation. Full mouthfeel (not oily nor cloying, just right), malty, sweet enough, bold bitterness, well balanced, strong.
