Brown with a creamy, beige head. The optics are off-putting: „floaters“ would be an understatement. Looks like half liquid, half sediment. The beer is expired by a few months, so I‘ll cut it some slack here. Still, I felt the need to filter this one. Aroma of brown sugar and prunes. Taste is mildly sweet with lingering toffee and cherries. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, surprisingly slightly watery texture given the optics. Really can’t make up my mind about this one.

bottiglia 33 cl, bel cappello di schiuma beige fine persistente, color ambrato carico velato, al naso malto tostato zucchero di canna spezie frutti rossi Marsala acido, in bocca malto caramello frutta matura solvente, acidula, corpo leggero, carbonazione moderata, alcool non bilanciato, amaro accentuato. Mah…. c’è qualcosa che non va. Difettosa? Non all’altezza di Abbaye des Rocs. c. Cantina della Birra 26.02.2021
