Strong Ale di chiara ispirazione anglosassone, nel bicchiere si presenta di un bel colore ambra carico, profondo, con riflessi rubini. All’olfatto è molto ricca, anche se non pesante, evidenziando note etiliche, di fichi secchi, mallo di noce, caramello, frutti di bosco (mirtilli sotto spirito); in bocca è di grande corpo, rotonda, etilica, potente, ma dal finale pulito grazie alla bella luppolatura inglese (East Kent Goldings), arricchito da ricordi di genziana e liquirizia. Molto lunga, di retrolfattivo robusto, nel finale emergono note sciroppate e minerali. Potente, equilibrata, di struttura, molto ben costruita.

Cloudy amber color. Malty aroma, some vegetables. Medium body, caramel and malt flavor, without the Montegioco Brett character, quite powerful but not impressive.

Cloudy amber color. As usual in average Italian beers, there is a yeasty aroma. It has a quite round mouthfeel, with sweet caramel flavor, some diacetyl and average bitterness; also some quite good hop, hidden; and warming alcohol. Imprecise, but not bad.

Bottle: Poured a dark and murky copper with a large beige head. Aroma is dark fruits, woody, and hints of plum. Flavor is more Belgian with spices, yeast, and citrus fruit. Some wood and earthiness. Thanks Jordan

Bottle pours a murky orange amber with a huge sandy head. Slightly sour aroma. Apples and peach maybe. The cloudy hazy palate puts me off a bit. Belgian and hoppy. A bit alcohol notes and a chalky finish

Pours deep amber into a tulip. Fluffy off-white micro head with good retention leaves spider lacing as it slowly recedes. Clean malt aromas. Sweet honey, pear, apple and pit fruit upfront with a dry, sour, peppery hop finish.

Good yellow-amber head; hazy orange-amber beer. Grapey, crude grape brandywine; oxydized malts. BItter, liqueurish taste, like a Cynar or something similar; with an enormous sweet malty underbuild, including coloured malts. Very alcoholic, alcoholwarming. Difficulty accessible beer, but it grows on you.

Small offwhite head. Hazy orange-brown body. Acidic barn aroma with grassy hop notes and a firm maltiness. Dry-and-sweet malty taste with grassy toffee notes. Dry grainy grassy aftertaste. Very nice. Mild, drinkable session beer, except it’ll be a short session. (0.75l bottle at glouglouburp’s.)
