Tap at Open Baladin, Roma - 04/10/12. Clear dark amber with a big frothy tan head. Nose is of toffee, fudge, spice a little smoke, dark fruits and Belgian yeast. Tastes of light caramel, bread, biscuit, dark fruits, smoke and some spice. Full bodied with soft carbonation leading to a bitter smoked finish.

Pours dark amber with a small, fading head.Noes shows sweet caramel, over-ripe bananas, faint unidentifiable spices, may some garlic.Some sweet malt transfers through as a flavour, whilst the spices remain in the background, although they are a little more pronounced than in the aroma. some alcohol shows through, along with a metallic note.Carbonation is a bit excessive.

Zymatore draft version at Maxs Italian Fest. Opaque brown-black. Sour vinous aroma, some mild chocolate. Pinot Noir sour grape flavors, more so than any whiskey. No hop tones to speak of, dark malt wine beer. Some underlying caramel nuttiness gives it balance. Lacks the effervescence of a Belgian, which would have put it over the top. Very unique and enjoyable.

Bottle, 75cl, at RBNAG-11. It pours and unclear, amber body and a small, off-white head. There’s a light touch of berries on the nose, with pale malts, a faint caramel touch, something herbal and peppery, and a little bit of wood. It’s fruity and malty on the palate, warming, full-bodied and pleasantly carbonated. Berry notes, pepper and resiny hops in the flavor. Some resiny hoppy bitterness towards the end. A nice and unusual beer. 111015

750 from Tanakaya. Malty, spicy, lightly funky nose, chocolate, berries. Rather closed nose. Deep reddish brown, clear, with lace. Rich malty flavor, chocolate and caramel with spices: I notice something curry-like. Spices are not all that huge, though. Lightly fruity, cherry and orange. Nice balance, nice body, full but still light enough. Just lacking a little something to reach greatness. Opened up nicely as it warmed. A very pleasant and drinkable spice beer. Spice was stronger in the second pour, as it seems to collect in the bottom.

Süßlicher, deutlich hefiger Beginn. Angenehm herb, ab dem Mittelteil bitter werdend, hier kommt auch eine leichte Alkoholigkeit auf. Trockene und leicht Säure zum Ende, Traubennuancen. 12/11/13/11//11

Taster from the draft menu at Open Baladin. Clear, amber coloured body, naked surface. Intense and delicious smoked aroma, just like my Islay Smokehead whisky. The flavour profile does not follow suit with a rather ordinary malt-fruity taste with peaty notes. Herbal hoppy finish (Roma, 31.03.2012).

Tap, 100ml sample at Open Baladin Roma. Amber-gold appearance, laces quite well. Floral hop aroma, as well as a spicy bite. Fruity taste with lemony hops joined by a little bit of honey sweetness and herbal bitter dryness towards the ending. Refreshing (Roma, 31.03.2012).

Draft. Muddy brown color, no head. Aroma of spoiled grapefruit juice and mud. Tastes like falling into a mud puddle with your mouth open.
