2013-01-31, vintage 2006, 6 years old, 7-5-6-2-14=34
Cloudy dark amber color with orange/red reflex; small head, with low retention. Malt aroma, while a whiff of Parmigiano Reggiano marks the age. The body is thinner than before, with higher alcohol perception; caramel flavor, very low sweetness, very low bitterness, and some signs of age, mainly the cheesy ones, not much oxidization.
They promised improvememnts for 10 years: it didn’t happen ;-)

Hazy amber color; big head; a thin layer is persistent. Malt and caramel aroma, quite mature, with traces of yeast. It has a strong caramel flavor, and chocolate; the body is still structured but thinning, and the bitterness still high; maybe in one more year it will be more balanced; anyway, already now the alcohol can be perceived. The final is well bitter, with mildly roasted malt too. Interesting but not supreme.

Hazy copper color. Caramel aroma, quite mature. Good body, a bit oily, dominated by the caramel, and some alcohol warmth. A bit one dimensional, but correctly brewed.

Hazy amber color; thin head. The aroma is malty, like a Barley Wine. The flavor is malty as well, but less sweet than expected, with a strange combination in the end of bitterness and too much alcohol that reminds me of Strong Lagers. Powerful malty brew, but simplistic.

Bottled. (vintage 2004) Golden beer with a small off-white head and lots of microfloaties. Malt, beef-stock, hops and some alcohol in the aroma. The flavor has alcohol, sweetness and a little spicy touch. A full-bodied beer that is nice, but maybe a bit one-dimentional. (061229)
