Atlas Coelestis Shaula

Brewed by Atlas Coelestis
Style: Dunkler Bock
Roma, Italy

From tap at the brewpub. Pours hazy to murky brown with a lacing light tan head. Aroma is light acidic with a mild fruity note. Flavour is medium sweet with a growing herbal bitterness and mixed with a distinct spiced/berry note. Ends with a steadily increasing bitterness. Interesting yet it doesnt really aim at anything specific. Finish holds a mild lacto/brett note, talking to the people at the place that wasn’t intentional - works fine though.

[Draught at Salone del Gusto 2006] Not a bock but a dark lager; sweet, fruity, aroma and flavour like of fermenting wort.. enjoyable anyway.
