Can at home. Pours a nice yellow with a small head. Aroma is surprisingly yeasty, lots of creamy peach and zesty citrus. Light to medium body. Flavour starts very floral and herbal, increasingly you get lots of peach, some sweet orange, but of grape and grapefruit. Creamy and full of flavour for the abv. Bit of bitterness, especially in the finish. Extremely tasty session and supremely drinkable.

Bottle at home on a Sunday evening as a dessert beer. Aroma is lots of wood, vanilla, cognac, dark malts, chocolate, molasses, caramel, figs. Full body. Flavour is smooth, boozy and well-rounded, medium sweetness. Nice dark malts with chocolate, molasses, caramel, no bitterness, and lots of barrel notes in the finish, especially cognac with grape notes and oak, with plenty of wood and some vanilla. Lovely.

Another iteration of the bänger! Unsurprisingly, this is an especially sweet and smooth version. Aroma is heavy on maple syrup, wood, light licorice, and some earthy notes. Full bodied with a a thickish mouthfeel. Flavour is sweet, malty, and extremely smooth, with a surprising amount of wood smoke. Maple syrup comes through nicely but doesn't overwhelm as it easily can. Long, quite bitter finish, but not unpleasant in it's bitterness. Good stuff.

Can shared with my brother and girlfriend. Pours a rather thick yellow to orange, small head. Aroma is mango, booze, hops. Full bodied, sweet and very boozy, balanced by the mango which is nicely integrated into the beer. Good stuff, a bit boozy but good flavour profile.

On tap at farmhouse pride hosted by ca del brado. Pours a slightly hazy yellow, small head. Complex aroma and flavour as expected from Errante. Lovely but balanced acidity. Stone fruit, lovely malt flavour, decent sourish sweetness. Great stuff.
