Bottle from Wine Warehouse in Charlottesville. Pours a hazy straw color with a medium fizzy head that quickly disappears. Tart aroma of peaches. Creamy peach taste with an acidic tartness to balance. Light and refreshing.

Cloudy amber color. Malty aroma, some vegetables. Medium body, caramel and malt flavor, without the Montegioco Brett character, quite powerful but not impressive.

Cloudy amber color. As usual in average Italian beers, there is a yeasty aroma. It has a quite round mouthfeel, with sweet caramel flavor, some diacetyl and average bitterness; also some quite good hop, hidden; and warming alcohol. Imprecise, but not bad.

Brown color. It’s a very mild beer, with some caramel flavor, residual sweetness, absent bitterness. Too simple.

Cloudy amber color with floating particles, not nice to see. Sourish aroma, dirty socks. An average Ale, with sweet caramel flavor and no bitterness, where an infection is knocking at the door. Warming final. If the infection will be corrected, it will be an ok beer.

Cloudy blond color with many unattractive floating particles. The aroma shows some soapy yeast. But you need to get the flavor to really appreciate this: harsh yeast soup, with overbitterness. A failure.

Hazy blond color; creamy head. Clean, nice smoked aroma. Simple flavor, on the dry side, but at least the smokey part is pleasant, mostly at the end.

Dark brown color; medium head. Nice aroma, chocolate with a touch of good coffee, and roasted nuts. Goody body strength, good chocolate flavor with some roasted malts, a hint of liquorice and a shade of the Montegioco sourish character (very subdued here); correct bitterness. Very rich.

Dark brown color. Quite simple caramel aroma. Medium body, with a quite good caramel and dark chocolate flavor. In the final the chocolate gets a light vanilla touch, but maybe also some yeast. Not too complex but nice.

Bottle #6: 75 cL bottle. Pours hazy brown with a lacing off-white head. Spiced and malt aroma. Flavour initially sweet but soon turns to a more dry maltyness with a mild herbal and hops note, or could this be the roasted chestnuts? Mild fruity touch too. Slight alcohol touch in the finish.

Bottle. Blackish beer with a small tan head. Roasty, chocolate, light fruity aroma. Very fruity (grape, maybe some cherry) with backing roast and chocolate. Medium bodied - very drinkable. Lingering fruit, light chocolate, caramel, and a bit of oak. Well balanced with good intriquing background flavors. Refined.
