Draught at Birratrovo, Como
Dark red-chestnut color, with creamy head. Mild aroma of dark malts, very light sourness and ashes.
Caramelized malts, moderate residual sweetness, a bit too much ashes that increase the bitterness. Unbalanced; crossover Belgian Ale and Stout.

Sainte-Hélènes wheat beer, with thick, creamy, regular, stable, snow white head and golden blonde colour with dusty yeast particles, cloudy ochre with deposit. Obvious wheat in the nose, flowers, green apple, soap, unripe melon, sour milk, lemon zest, abbey cheese, coriander, earth, sherry, hay - not unlike a saison. Subdued fruity, very wheaty taste, pretty strong carbo, dry and light sourish, some coriander but fortunately not exaggerated as is often the case in this style, light finish with very vague, brief hoppiness. Special witbier, like many other Wallonian wheat beers quite far away from the Hoegaarden standard; remarkably, the brewer advises 10 - 12° C as the serving temperature, so cellar temperature - I imagine most typical witbier drinkers prefer their ’blancheke’ well below that...

Newish Belgian-style barley wine with thin, beige, creamy head and hazy bronze colour with protein flakes floating around. Complex fruity aroma of chocolate liqueur, coffee grounds, honey, cognac, hazelnuts, pepper, coriander, dried orange peel. Spicy taste with agreeable, soft malt sweetness, some pear and honey, bit powdery mouthfeel, and, as can be expected from the style, warming brandy-like alcohol in the finish along with herbal hops. Very pleasant.
