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.

N'est pas Orval qui veut. Et ce n'est pas en rajouter du Brett à une bière de type belge que l'on obtient ce niveau de finesse et de complexité. Pour une collaboration americano-italienne, cette Oki Matilde ne s'en sort tout de même pas trop mal. Et si celle-ci manque de finesse, la complexité, l'équilibre et la tension aromatique sont appréciables. Le visuel est sur un blond orangé limpide avec une fine effervescence et une mousse blanche ne nappant pas toute la surface. Au nez, le brett est très présent avec ses arômes de ferme, de pomme et de cuir. Des arômes de pain, d'orange, de poivre et de citrons sont également présents. A l'attaque on retrouve ces arômes bien accompagnés d'une fraîche amertume. L'intensité aromatique est cependant bonne avec beaucoup de caractère. L'ensemble de la dégustation est relativement homogène avec des corpulence et longueur très honorables. La complexité est également au rendez-vous avec cependant un manque de finesse. L'alcool, à 6,2 % tient bien la structure également pour une bière qui tient la route.

Bottle, 0.33l. Aroma of citrus, peach, caramel, flowers and ripe fruit. Pours cloudy amber golden color with thin creamy off-white head and average sparkling appearance. Taste starts citrusy and mild caramelly, following is grainy and grassy, mouthfeel is rather dry, while finish is pretty bitter. Light to medium body, thin texture and lively carbonation in palate.

Very clear Pacific IPA, sorachi ace is intense - not usually a huge fan of that hops, but this is not too intense, while providing a nice Australian hop profile with velvety grape and melon. Nice.

Backlog May 2017. Unclear golden body under a dense off-white head. Unusually aroma, lemon or lime zest, yeast and some kind of spices. Taste is sweeter than expected from aroma, malt, citric fruit, yeast, spices and lemon zest. Fine body and rather long lasting aftertaste. Seems like quite ordinary flavors on the paper but this was actually a bit unusually and strange – in a god way. Interesting and tasty for the open minded beer drinker.

Tight white head stayed on a cloudy golden coloured body. Sweet, jam & malted aroma. Medium bodied, soft on the tongue with lively cloying back. Bitter, citrus, malt, bready & biscuit tastes with a limp finish.
