Description
Since 2008, we're running the Beer Freakshow, pushing the boundaries of the Italian craft beer scene. If you do not do it our way, we do not do. Classic styles and innovative beers, Belgian or American traditions: on the whole, the mark of Toccalmatto. Luppolature exotic and extreme experiments on yeast and fermentation, exploring new tastes and flavors using fruits, spices, aged in cask. Always and only beers of character.

In 2017 the brewery was sold to the Belgian entrepreneur Eric Coppieters and his Brasserie 28.

150ml draught, shared with Finn at Omerta. Almost clear golden body, fragile lacing, tiny white head. Moderate aromas of tropical fruits and pineapple, mid-dry. Mixed taste of pineapple and grapefruit moments, offset by mild malty sweetness. Drying close, malt-fruity, distant bitterness to it. Decent. (Kraków, 16.10.2024).

Well stored bottle @ home. Clear, deep amber body without any head, a bit oily body. Aroma has smooth, dark malt, dry fruit, soy, hint of wood and warming alcohol. Taste has sweet, rich malt, dry fruit, red berries, soy, sherry alcohol and some bitterness. Full bodied with a long lasting aftertaste. Nice for some sips, but one bottle is almost too much.

Bottiglia. All'olfatto si esprimono sentori di sour. La finezza olfattiva è elevata e il modo in cui permane è apprezzabile. Il manto birroso superiore ha una scarsa tenuta. Le bollicine sono grandi. Il liquido è di apparenza velata. Il colore è giallo paglierino. Il corpo è strutturato. L'amaro è di media potenza. La forza gustativa è elevata e la persistenza è buona. Il gusto è piacevole. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di birra beverina. Il finale è felpato, bruschino e fruttato. Il retrogusto è intenso. Al palato arrivano sentori di miele, frutta secca, agrumi, spezie, arancia, frutta passita, vino bianco, tosse caduta, vaniglia e sour.
