Bottle at Eataly store, Bologna, Italia 26.02.11 Pours dark amber with a hazy white head. This is malty with a touch of sourness on nose. Soft in the mouth, likeable though not stunning. I did get the nuts but they weren’t too overpowering. A7 A3 T7 P3 Ov14 3.4

2008 bottle. $20 375ml...not sure why I bought this, but there are a couple other Italian beers locally that are over $30, so I guess this isn’t a horrible price...wait, it is! Pours with a murky brown body and a very minimal (if any head). Some alcohol legs. Aromas of brandy, brown sugar, dark fruits, raisins, almonds, red wine, red licorice, earth and tobacco. Mellow alcohol. Flavors are super sweet, licorice, prunes and ripe plums. Tons of brown sugar. Raw turbinado sugar and raw hazelnuts. Fruity. Sweet, boozy and tasty, but not worth the price. Not remotely worth it (if it was half the price, then maybe). Syrupy. Light bubbles.

Bottled. A hazy yellow beer with a thin white head. The aroma has notes of perfumy hops. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, spices, and fruit, leading to a dry finish.

Bottle 75 cl. Hazy pale yellow with a white head. First a rotten, stale smell which fortunately disappears quickly to be relieved by coriander and yeast. Light almost watery body, a little fruit and quite some phenols. Ends dry and heavily carbonated. 171210
