33 cl bottle from Tosano. Deep red/mahogany color, yellowish-white head, bubbly, sadly disappearing, a bit sparkling. Flaky sediments on the bottle, almost clear which become cloudy when those gets in. Some berries on the nose. Aroma is prominently sugary upfront, syrup, burned caramel, berries/cranberries, black grapes, ripe fruit. Fuel notes explodes already, quite burning. Then a solid cakey malts backing follows, with mild leafy hops. Pronounced hearthy yeast notes, with old furniture, wine and wood. Taste is initially sugary, cleaned by smooth bitternes and ends up mild sour. Body isn’t thick as i would have expected, fairly thin texture, sustained carbonation, dry alcoholi finish. A slow sipper, complex, strong, as it warms up becomes really enjoyable, perfumed, aromatic.
