Taster from the draft menu at Open Baladin. Clear, amber coloured body, naked surface. Intense and delicious smoked aroma, just like my Islay Smokehead whisky. The flavour profile does not follow suit with a rather ordinary malt-fruity taste with peaty notes. Herbal hoppy finish (Roma, 31.03.2012).

15/09/2011 Bir&Fud (tap). Ambrata carica, non molto intensa, con leggera schiuma biancastra sporca, poco persistente. Aroma di malti affumicati, interessante ma un po’ spento, con una timida punta di spezie. In bocca è malto, affumicato, ma manca incredibilmente di complessità, risulta spenta, timida, fin troppo lineare. Corpo medio-basso, carbonazione soft. Abbastanza deludente, da riprovare sicuramente.
