Draft at Kulminator. Black color, small tan head. Nice vinous and roasty aroma. Taste is dark roast, red wine in an interesting combo that works pretty well.

Bottle shared in London - thanks to Kenny. Pours red-brown with a creamy, off-white head. Ripe berries in the nose, some bread, toffee. Medium sweet flavour, with some lightly toasted bread, berries, jam. Medium to full bodied with fine to average carbonation. Sweet finish, with some jammy berries, brown bread. Actually pretty great stuff.

Medium brown color. Off white head. Big Belgian yeasty nose with a bit of winey character. Thin body for the style not super balanced. Despite how bad it looks for the style and how thin it tastes, it’s not that bad.

330ml bottle @Bir&Fud Bottega (Rome). Dorata viva, lievemente torbida, schiuma bianca media, abbastanza persistente. Al naso sentori di malto, lieviti, spezie. In bocca è equilibrata e semplice, dolce all’attacco con finale discretamente amaro. Corpo medio, carbonazione medio-leggera. Ok.
