16/05/2012 Open Baladin Roma (cask). Ambrata intensa con riflessi color miele di castagno e rubino, schiuma bianco sporca, leggermente giallognola, poco abbondante e persistente. Aroma di malto, resina, pino con note agrumate e di fruttate intense. In bocca delude tantissimo, risultando abbastanza sgraziata e con una componente di malto (caramellato) francamente eccessiva. Il finale amaro, abbastanza lungo, manca un po’ di secchezza. Corpo medio, carbonazione soft. Così così.

Cask at the PSBH 1st May 2012. Not the best example of a black IPA, cant taste the hops, but more the malt, not a bad beer all the same, nothing exciting which is indicative of the brewery in general i am afraid

Bottle 33 cl. Courtesy of madmitch76. Pours a cloudy amber with a rich and frothy off-white head leaving quite some lacework. Lovely sweet and perfumy aroma with hardly any roast. But the booze is already showing. Rich body, toasted malts and caramel with some funny perfumy hops. Quite a bitter finish, and some booze as well. A Mild I think not, but a lovely beer. 260412
