330mL bottle, pours a dark mahogany with a small beige head. Aroma brings out a lot of balsamic vinegar, along with red wine barrels and oak. Flavour is quite complex, with balsamic, red wine and oak. Doesn't really taste like a Belgian, but it's a nice woody, vinous beer of some sort. Solid stuff.

Bottle from Birratrovo, Como
Dark brown color, headless, seemingly quite flat. In the aroma I get some chemicals, even a note of acetone; dark chocolate, sour wine. The mouthfeel is basically flat, hence a bit oily; good body strength, some malt flavor, too earthy, and I would be happier without the hint of sweet liquorice; some red wine, and some booze. Confused, but quite good.
To me, the dark chocolate and red wine don’t go very well together.

Bottle sample at a tasting at Alexey’s place. Thanks Stas & Max. Black with a light brown head. Aroma of chocolate, roast, caramel, nuts, a bit of licorice, a bit of dark fruit, some coffee, and a bit of alcohol. Sweet flavor, roasty, with chocolate, dark fruits, nuts, caramel, a bit of coffee. Medium to full-bodied.

Bottle. Notes of wood, milk chocolate and vanilla in aroma. Very sweet and malty, like a mix of a barley wine and a stout. Notes of raisins and milk chocolate. Sugary texture.
