A clear brown ale with a thin off white head. A sweet caramel malt aroma, nutty with fruity esters. In mouth, a good nutty ale with treacle notes, woody, veering on dubbel. A pleasant and rich brown ale. Bottle at Mondiale 2009.

Bottle from In Bocca al Luppolo
Dark amber color; small creamy head that reduces quickly. Light aroma, alcohol, chestnut honey (that disappears quickly), unimpressive. Medium body strength, with some caramel flavor, but with a dry impression towards the end; the fermented honey leaves too little body and too much alcohol. Nothing special.

Bottle 75 cl. Courtesy of fiulijn. Pours a clear dark amber golden with an off-white head. Intense aroma of overripe fruit and alcohol - some acetone also. Medium body, overripe fruit, yeast and acetone. Dry finish. Appears very Belgian in style. Decent alright. 260309

Bottle pours out a nice brown topped with a small tan head. Aroma of hops and yeast. Tast of pit fruit and the yeast once again. Italy should just stuck to wine. Thanks BuckDich

Light brown and chunky. Not much head. Minty, nutty, lightly earthy, leafy aroma. Light nutty notes, minty accents. Fairly refreshing, with good maltiness. Balanced, complex character. Pretty cool stuff, actually.

Bottle: Chestnut brown, no head. Aroma is rather nutty and somewhat fruity. A little bit of the sweet and tart like a sour ale. Tastes of dark fruit and viney. Some nuts and earthiness. Roasty malt. Smokey? Although it maintains a creamy feel, there are hints of the tail of the ABV. Thanks BuckDich!

Bottle. Torben Matthews tasting. Nice head with good duration. Color is brown. Aroma and taste are nuts, sugar, malt and caramel. Very well balanced. Best chestnut beer I have had.
