Bouteille 33cl @ Fiera della birra di Forli ’14. Cheers to the Birradamare guys for the hook up and an ever growing list of compliments for their beers. BB 06/2015. Cuivrée-ambrée, col beige. Arôme offre ici un très beau bouquet fumé qui n’est ni trop prenant, ni trop absent. Quoique dominant le fumé reste tout à fait correcte. En rétro, une petite touche cara, pâle. Amertume houblonnée s’immisce discrètement offrant ainsi qcq pointes fruitée voire nobles. Palais malté caramel, pointe de fumé avec un petit ajout cara-moka voire grillé. Amertume se fait discrète offrant juste la contre-balance en amérisant. Bière légère semblant parfaite pour un novice en quête de bière pour apprécier le style.

Bottle. Cloudy amber with an inch of white head that fades to a lovely coat. Smoky singed toffee aroma with dried bananas. Taste is sweet and peaty with toffee, some over-ripe fruit, grass, some pepper. Started at about 8C - fruity complexities emerged but the sweetness started to grate. Still, interesting.

Pours dark amber with a fading head.Nose shows heavy peat with almost medicinal notes to it. Also a fair bit of sweet malt hinting at golden syrup.Sweet flavours, almost syrupy sweet, but with lots of peat following. Gets a little cloying.Too much carbonation.
