(Bottle 33 cl) Pours a very dark brown with an orange hue and a rough, beige head. Hard roasted malts in the aroma with a little licorice. Light body, a little low in carbonation, roasted soft malty accents and a whiff of sweet licorice. Discreet malt bitterness. Pleasant alright. 011108

Bottle thanks to bu11zeye. Pours with a largish, white heead and a hazy golden body. The head sticks around quite well. Aroma of light pear, a sweet note, ginger, honeysuckle, chamomile, and pepper corns. Taste has strong lavander, and peper corns with ginger towards the finish. Quite dry tasting. Dry mouthfeel with light carbonation and a slight pepper astringency.

Bottle @ LCRBM 08: Poured a black with brown head. Aroma is coffee and that leads straight into the taste. Not much else for me to say other than I am impressed its Italian!

Bottle thanks to bu11zeye. Interesting little italian beer (as always). Pours a clear yellow with a quickly vanishing white head. Weak aroma of grassy hops and hay. Taste is hoppy with a hay astringency and a bit of fruits. Pretty bitter/astringent overall. Fizzy.

No head, copper-foxy beer. Solvent, diacetyl, powerfull and imposing - and not pleasing. Sharp MF, not finished, worts in full fermentation, hence the diacetyl, etc. Slick, buttery MF... Finish the beer, please.

Huge, towering yellow head over hazy orange beer. Orange aroma, estery and fruity, bananaester. Sweet, malty taste, but essentialy some oxydized malts. Very carbonated MF, long lasting sweetness. Too oxydized in the main taste.
