Bottled.An amber beer with sediment floating around under a lazing orangey head. The aroma is sweet matly with notes of caramel and light notes of smoke. The flavor is sweet and acidic with notes of caramel, leading to a dry finish with notes of oranges. Huge thanks to yespr for sharing.

Nearly no head; copper-amber ale. Nose of too-deep fried fries, fatty acids, burnt. Acids in the taste, but not really sour. Faint flour taste. Slight astringency, medium bodied. Nowhere pleasing beer, spoiled chestnuts.

Blind tasting @ Yespr. Light brown with a creamy head and a lot of sediment in the glass. The aroma has hints of smoke and notes of citrus. The flavour has sweetness, light notes of smoke, citrus, malt, light candy sugar, and it ends on a sweet and slightly smoky note.

2008-05-30, blind tasting at Yespr’s, 6-3-6-3-10=28
Cloudy light amber color. Sweetish and perfumy aroma, with a light sourness and smokey touch. Medium body; it seems to be a quite simple Ale, with sweetish malt flavor, but with a small infection in it (hence the low Overall rating).

2008-05-25, bottle, 5-5-5-3-10=28
Cloudy amber color, creamy head, and overcarbonation. There is some malt, and a light smokey touch from the chestnuts; but like the one I had on draught, this one as well shows signs of infection.

2008-03-28, draught at Salone della Birra Artigianale e di Qualità 2008, Milan, 5-5-5-3-10=28
Cloudy amber color; creamy head. It’s a quite common Ale, but also some characteristics are covered by a probably light infection.

So, in the end, I had it 3 times and each time it was infected… probably chestnuts are not suitable for brewing.
