0,75 bottle purchased at Baccusardus in Villasimius (Italy), consumed at home. A fantastic pour, amber/orange bright and a bit hazy with a frothy and creamy cap. Nose: much roast, soft smokiness, a bit cheesy in a way, wet wood, sultana. Mouth: carbonation is medium to high, again roasted grains, grounded barley, the finish is clean and kind of watery (+). I have perceived a note of burnt wire somehow, which honestly I should try to determine if is an off thing or something I messed up. Good beer all in all.

0,75 bottle at Baccusardus in Villasimius (Italy), consumed at home. Cloudy orange color, irregular medium-low white foam with a decent retention. Nose: surprisingly rustic, malt leftovers, pollen, almonds, almonds cookiesy, honey royal jelly. Different and amazing. Mouth: balanced, really in style with a peculiar personality. I can spot caramel and cocoa notes, medium-high carbonation, warming abv, charming sweet (and frizzy finish). Complex and tasty!

0,75 bottle at Baccusardus in Villasimius (Italy). Semi clear golden bright color, long lasting white head. Nose: aggressively citric, wild dried berries, green pepper. Mouth recalls its sister BB7, pretty much. This one is less citric, more fruity, a bit malty. Finish is medium dry, silky bitter and spicy. The most sessionable among the serie, tasty one.
