Cask at Open Baladin. A nut-brown beer with a red shine under a lazing tan head. The aroma has notes of nuts, caramel, minerals, and roasted malt. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of roasted malt and bread, as well as lighter notes of minerals, leading to a dry roasted finish. The body is light.

Hazy amber beer. Small white head. Made with peated malt. Soft dry palate. Peaty whiskeyish malt underpinned by sweet peach and banana fruit notes. Very dry finish. Unusual and quite drinkable.

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.
