At Exultate, shared with heavy. Poured a hazy yellow lemony colour with a small thick white head. Some chewed up bubblegum in the taste, maybe lemon too. Yeasty, nicely lemony taste, ending with some banana. Not extremely complex but drinkable. Wasn’t as impressed as heavy was.

At the brewpub, referred to as both the Ambrata and the Doppio Malto, but they clearly said 8.5%. Murky amber-orange body, maybe a shade paler than the Rossa. Small thick white head. Light grainy aroma. Soft orankey silky light taste, light bitterness from some lemony hops near the end. Quite similar to the Rossa, and, like that one, quite tasty.

At the brewpub with heavy, Rossa. Poured a murky darker amber/orange body with a thick off-white head that went away at a medium to slow pace. Fruity nose, oranges and spicy cloves. he taste is fruity again with notes of orange, some light sweetness, some light dust, some nice fruity hopiness near the end. Refreshing in a way and tasty. Erm, Natko, if this is an ale and it most likely is, it simply can not be a dunkler bock.

10/10 Draught at the brewpub. Murky, pale yellow bodied with small dense head. Quite fresh aroma, pleasant wheat yeasty, some citrus and pretty spicy. Flavor was, relatively thin bodied, yeasty with banana, orange and some cloves or similar spices. Relatively thin bodied, but its finish is long, slightly sweet and pleasant. Comparing to older rates, it seems Exultate had their beers improved. This is one of the better wits.

10/10 Draught at the brewpub, as Doppio Malto, but also called Ambrata. 8.5% ABV. It poured reddish amber body with smaller head. Yeasty and malty aroma, typical for nice belgian style strong ale. Some orange here as well. Flavor stays on somewhat lower level, sweetish malty but also a bit sour. Generally caramel, orange and some herbal sourness is felt here along with an alcohol touch. Medium bodied. Slightly bitter in the finish with some alcohol warming. OK one, but nothing special indeed.

10/10 Rossa, draught at the brewpub. It poured darker copper body with medium sized orange head. Caramel malty and yeasty cloves-banana aroma. Sweetish flavor, good malt profile, with caramel, fruits and a bit of roasted sugar. Full bodied. Pleasant caramelly finish with just a touch of warming. I liked this beer indeed. Wrong style entered, this is typical italian Rossa - most suitable under dunkler bock.

Draught. Given as Giamba Bianco Small yellow, dense head over fully hazy orange beer; very carbonated, leaving rings of lace. Bit of oranges, and obviously quite some coriander. Yeasty, yeast products, very little spiciness, sweet-sourish citrus. Retronasal almonds. Very carbonated MF, light wheat slickness. Drinkable, but one wouldn’t drive a mile off, in order to get this.

Draught. Don’t get me wrong, Marco, but this was spelled "Giamba Rosso" at the brewpub Good, very dense yellow-brown head, creamy, over hazy dark brown-red beer. Fruitjam-like, but without the sweetness; aroma’s of burnt peanuts. Very roasted/burnt flavours, dark malts in a very Walloon way. Definitely a sourish spike, not quite lactic, but surely infected. Sharp, burning MF, also representative of the infection. Medium bodied, thinned by the acids. Needs some improvement... starting at the brewery equipment.
