swoopjones (1862), Buffalo, New York, USA Nov 7, 2009 Sample @ Coles Italian Ber Tasting. deeper golden pour. Notes of rich caramel malts, toffee, brown sugar, nutty. Floral flavors add interesting aspects. Fuller mouthfeel & nice malty richness. Nice beer Beerman6686 (1259), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA Oct 7, 2009 This poured a really light amber color with a white head. Aroma was funk, sour notes, spices and alcohol. Flavor was like a weak saison with a little sourness, seemed like a few different style attempts that just didnt go toegether very well. Decent but not great by any means. shrubber85 (2826), Wallhalben, Germany Sep 24, 2009 Bottle. Peach, orange, malt and alcohol aroma. Dark amber color with large head. Slightly sweet peach/orange and light barley malt flavor with a moderate alcohol finish. Palate on the light side. Nice beer. OleR (2007), Oslo, Norway Sep 22, 2009 0.75 L bottle, kindly shared by Kestral. Coarse fingerthick greyish head. Hazed, deep golden body. Toffee and nutty malts on the nose. Sweet-flavored and malty, almost sugery. Some yeast notes and touch of tinned fruits and pepper. Medium body strengt. Both sparkling and kind of sticky in the mouth. Sweet malty ending. A sweetheart, but not the most exciting one. Nate (2533), Indiana, Pennsylvania, USA Sep 18, 2009 Sampled at the ’09 RBPTE, courtesy of mtoast. Breaded toasty aroma with light yeasty character, some alcohol and notes of cherry. Dark amber cloudy, slightly murky, with a small frothy off-white head. Medium thin body with average carbonation and a chalky finish. Moderate sweetness with quite a kick of acidity in there, too. Lactic sourness, woody and a bit rubbery. Tinge of sour milk. Frovigalning (379), , Sweden Sep 13, 2009 It poured a hazy, dirty golden liquid with a small foam that left no lacing. It did however leave a ton of yeast floating around in the glass. It smelled of yeast and bread. It had a smooth mouthfeel and a taste of yeast, bread, sweet, fruit and candy. Unfortunately a bit watery. A decent beer but not really worth the high price. KnutAlbert (3101), Oslo, Norway Sep 10, 2009 Bottle.
Hazy brown beer, lots of flavour.
Sweet fruit, marzipan, nuts and spices.
Not too exiting, really. Kestral (191), Oslo, Norway Sep 6, 2009 Bottle. Pours light orange, fizzy white head fades quickly. Aroma of caramel and nuts, sour notes, spices and earthy notes, yeast. The same notes return in the flavour, along with a certain fruitiness. Not a lot of hops to be found. The carbonation is a bit too fizzy and sparkly for me.
