Bottle, thanks sinh4! Hazy brown, with almost no head. Aroma is green Apple peel. Wood, chalk, caramel. Taste is fresh sourness, but also tanine heavy bitterness. Heavy mouthfeel with dry long finish. Overall nice green apple but too much bitterness.

Bottle courtesy of Marco Buraschi, many thanks! Murky brown color wih tan ring. Aroma is green apple peel, fussel oil, so much barrel. Was there wine yeast in the barrel? Taste is dusty, chalky, milky yeasts. Mouthfeel is soft (as usual for Sottobisio), but through the barrel aging, it lost a but too much. I like green apples, but the Barrel took over a bit too much. I am not convinced, it’s a bit too dry (probably because the barrel yeasts did their own thing).

Bottle thanks SinH4. Ester notes up front, apples. Cloudy brown, low brown head. Very dry, wood, roast notes, minerals, rest-sweetness was gobbled up by the beasties in the barrel I thjnk, the resulting fusel oils are too much for me.

Bottle courtesy of Marco Buraschi, many thanks! Aroma is hazelnuts, chocolate, coffee. Taste is more of the hazelnuts, chocolate and coffee, with a milky yeasty touch. Beautiful aroma, a bit too yeasty in the back. Silky mouthfeel, as always. Not bad, but has more potential than it uses.

Bottle, as a gift by Marco from Sottobisio. Very dark brown with a beautiful light and steady foam. Impressive coffee aroma over a dry and ashy smoke. Some dark chocolate, low vanilla. Medium-bodied, well carbonated, with a smooth texture. Dry and refreshing despite all the darkness. Very nice!
