thewolf (4152), Kolding, Denmark Nov 18, 2008 Bottle @ YNWA, Kolding.<br />
Pours a magnificient deep, metallic red with a giant, staying, creamy head. It is white, but there are tones of yellow and pink. Aroma is sweet, some red berries, red currants, peach, caramel, some apples. Full and creamy mouthfeel. Flavour is mild, actually a bit underwhelming. Some yeast - like Tongerlo actually. The fruitiness gets more apparent as it settles. Light cherry and marzipan. Quite nice, actually. JorisPPattyn (4642), Antwerpen, Belgium Oct 19, 2008 No head, copper-foxy beer. Solvent, diacetyl, powerfull and imposing - and not pleasing. Sharp MF, not finished, worts in full fermentation, hence the diacetyl, etc. Slick, buttery MF... Finish the beer, please. fiulijn (6010), Como; Lausanne (CH); Malmö (SWE), Italy Oct 13, 2008 <i>Bottle at Enoteca Decanter, Milan</i><br />Cloudy dark amber color. Light malt aroma, caramel, yeast, glue, vegetables; simple. Lightly sweetish, some malt flavor, average bitterness. Simple. oh6gdx (6460), Vaasa, Finland Sep 30, 2008 Bottled@SBWF2008. Amber colour, mediumsized beige fluffy head. Aroma is fruits, caramel, yeast and some mild toffeeishness. Flavour is hops, fruits, caramel and some mild notes of grass. Wellbalanced, but a bit boring. Svesse (1877), Hässelby, Sweden Jun 24, 2008 (Bottle, Monk’s Café, Stockholm) Hazy, amber colour with brief, frothy, beige head. Malty, fruity nose with notes of orange and raspberries. Malty taste with dried fruit, orange and caramel. Slightly grassy, citrussy finish. A bit sweet, but nice and well balanced. Less exciting than most of the other Ducato beers though.
