Very interesting beer. Nutty smell and flavor. Dark brown with a very fizzy head--carbonation seems a bit overdone. Chestnut and honey flavors--a bit sweet, smoky. Really enjoyed this one.

bottle-pours a light tan ring with brown color. Aroma is herb-ginger, dark fruit-cherry, vinuous. Taste is dry herb-ginger, dark fruit-cherry, vinuous, barnyard funk-yeast. Occasional.

Thanks to Redlight for sharing. Liht smoked sausage aroma (didn’t expect that!) along with a strong roasted nuttiness. Flavor is malty and smoky, with a smooth and easy, slightly caramelized finish. This is one strange kitty.

Pours deep amber into a shaker. Tan head proceeds to top hat the rim and slowly recedes to nothing leaving no lacing. Sour raisin and pit fruit front to back. Does not improve as it warms.

Bottled (BB 01/2008)
Dark ruby brown, small beige head. Barnyardish, lightly chocolaty aroma. Medium-bodied. Reasonably clean coffeish and roasted flavor, although there is some barnyardish notes. Smooth palate. Harmless but also a bit characterless. For being Italian, it is ok.
