Lançamos esta Edição Especial de Castanha para colocar mais um pouco da região do Alto Alentejo dentro de uma garrafa. Selecionámos a Castanha de Marvão DOP para fazer uma Brown Ale fumada, com notas de castanha e erva-doce, finalizando com um gosto de caramelo. Ideal para acompanhar um serão de outono diante de uma lareira alentejana com um cartucho de castanhas assadas na mão.
We launch this Chestnut Special Edition to bring a little bit more from Alto Alentejo to a bottle. We selected the Marvão Chestnut DOP to brew a Smoked Brown Ale, with notes of Chestnut and aniseed, finishing with a caramel taste. It’s ideal to enjoy on an autumn evening in front of an Alentejo fireplace with a cartige of roasted chestnuts by your side.

330 mL bottle. Pours dark brown, with a fair, bubbly, khaki head. The nose is walnut, brown bread, coriander, straw, and dust. Sweet and nutty, with a mellow, grassy bitterness. Medium body, grainy, and syrupy. Clean and pretty nice.
