Marks for Appearance are an average, as beer was sampled in weak artificial light after dark. Very hoppy, some malts, and a fish-like, faraway salty aroma, iodine. Dry hopbales; Hops, nuts and liquorice. Ends again on saltiness, an a flavour like mushrooms. Quite carbonated, medium bodied. Quite good, certainly for a prime edition. Pleasing brew.

Black, viscous pouring beer with no head to speak of. Concentrated coffee, aged in brandy barrel, very complex. Liquid black chocolate, with a dash of expensive brandy, cacao powder with coffee to round it off (like cappucino the other way round). Superbly viscous alcohol to a bomb, wow! Caro Massimo! Stop making light beers. Your destination lies in the higher alcohols - like this. It rocks! Mille grazie for the tasting!

Yellowish head over hazy orange beer. Malt & alcohol in equal measures, but nothing too distinct. Alcohol in the taste again, and some greenery flavour, faint one, reasonably balanced. Sweet corn-like finish, strange for a triple. Good balance, alcoholwarming, very slick, bit burning MF. Not bad, but could be easily refined.

Just some yellowish head over slightly copper-tinted golden ale. Parsley, caramalt, grassy. Sweetish taste, caramel, plywood, and well, again, lots of caramel. Quite burning MF. Medium bodied, some alcoholwarming. Might be beefed up, tastewise.

Just off-white head, dense, over very slightly hazy yellow beer with green shine. Coriander, green beer, grass. Grassy, pale malts, a little alcohol, and I guess the indetectable aroma from white candi sugar. Lightly spritzy, unfortunately served too warm. Just some pale malt notes. OK, but not great. Too willed-Belgian.

Reasonable yellow head over dark-brown beer with orange highlights. Chocolate nose, pleasing jumble of fusels, portwine casks. Again chocolate in the taste, rich ethanol & fusel flavours. Rich taste, and the retronasal hops don’t spoil a thing. Alcoholwarming, velvety texture but potent MF. Good body. Nice beer, rich, way better than average. Rating for the 10% version Yellow head with a greenish shine over dark-brown beer. Liquorice, burnt malts, dark candi cugar. Last one in the flavour as well, with more liquorice, and drop Well bodied, very slick, even viscous beer. Not bad! Definitely the strenght of this brewer lies in... strength. Would make 6/4/7/3/14
