Bottiglia ABV 9.0%. Il gusto al naso propende per il caramello. L'intensità olfattiva è elevata e la continuità olfattiva è apprezzabile. Il cappello di schiuma color marrone castagno è a rapida dispersione e sopravvive solo come una traccia di velatura. La grandezza delle bollicine è a grana media. Il piano sottostante appare velato. Bollicine medie costituiscono la forma del perlage. Il colore è ambrato carico tendente rossiccio. Il corpo è pieno. La struttura è robusta. L'amaro è medio. L'intensità gustativa è normale e si prolunga in modo sufficiente. Il retrogusto è di media intensità. Al gusto vengono donati toni di caramello, miele, pane, biscotto, resina e alcol invadente.

Bottle thanks to Rob. Appearance - golden with a decent head and a slight haze. Nose - weird combination of banana and peat smoke. Taste - more smoke and some orange and banana. But smoke is massively dominant. Definitely chestnut in there if you look for it. Palate - creamy, tangy and smoky. Overall - good if a bit single dimensional with the smoke.

Bottle shared with Ashton McCobb. Not a gusher as such, but nearly! Hazy yellow gold with a bubbly white head. Definitely get chestnuts on the nose, but also some lemon and smoke. Taste is smoky for sure. The smoke dominates the taste. Lingers, but nicely.

Bottle thanks to Rob. Appearance - amber with a nice lacy head. Nose - sweet malt, light resin. Taste - orange and burnt bread. Light astringency. Green plant stalk finish. Palate - close to medium bodied with a creamy texture. Dry crunchy and lightly astringent finish. Overall - the nose is better than the taste.

Bottle at LKS - thanks to the Ken! It pours hazy red - brown with a small beige head. The aroma is earthy, woody, toasty, wood, brown bread, leather, oiliness and dried fruits. The taste is slick, oily, sugary, tangy, toasty brown sugars, earth, leather, tannin, dried fruits and figs. Finish is dry and vinous. Medium body, fine carbonation and oily mouth - feel. A touch sweet perhaps. Not bad overall.
