750 from Beer Revolution. Corked. The cork bifurcated laterally. Pours ruddy dark brown with a slight tan head. Aroma is darkly malty, woody, vinous. And sour. Med body. Flavor is vinous, moderately sour. Sort of red berry and oak. There’s a really earthy sort of flavor - but not the Belgian type. This flavor has to be experienced. Words are inadequate. Earthy, red berry, oaky, sour - doesn’t quite seem adequate. The stout aspects have turned into something like high quality red wine. Think Panel Barrique - but not that sour. Finishes like sucking oak wine barrels. But more than that.

Bottle at home, from Domus Birrae, 20/02/13. Pours a hazed amber brown with reddish hues, no nead, tiny bubbles form on the glass. Nose is woody, soured peach, dark orange marmalade, dank and musty. Taste is horsey, earthy, farmyard, soured fruits, lemon, wood, sour apricot, a hint of red wine booze. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, dry finish. Solid enough wild.

Cloudy amber color; medium sized head. Light aroma, with some vegetables. Sweetish flavor; the body is not up to expectations; the flavor has some fruitiness and some yeast. Low bitterness.
Mediocre beer.

Bottle shared with Yanick. Pours black with tan head. Nose and taste is mostly oak - very dry oak - with lots of vinous notes. Some vanilla and funky yeast. Very little stout characteristics. Some dry cocoa in the deep dark background of all this oak. Medium body. Finishes bone dry oak.

Clear dark brown beer, small creamy beige head, unstable, bit adhesive. Aroma: very spicy, lavender, mint, bit yeasty, soapy, floral. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: bitter, mocha, yeast, bit soapy, some metallic, hint of caramel. Aftertaste: very bitter and hoppy, mocha, soapy, little floral. Interesting and definitely different! Too bad it's not really good.

Tap at Open Baladin, Roma - 02/10/12. Mid black with a good tan head, plenty of lacing ensues. Lightly roasted malts on the nose, chocolate and dark toffee. Taste dominated by a solid roast malt profile allied to molasses, licqourice, dark chocolate and a puff of smoke. Medium bodied with fine carbonation and a smooth finish.

Bottle at marea in NYC. Pours hazy deep orange with decent sized fluffy head. Nose of malt and bread. Tastes bready, spicy of pepper and coriander, decent amount of citrus hops, caramel, grass, and light banana. It’s dry on finish and paired well my seafood feast.

Apple, dried leaves, and a little alcohol on the nose. Cloudy copper, no head. Dried leaves, oily rose petals, and lemon zest flavor. A bit like potpourri.
