Commercial Description:
Malt Liquor is not a style but an idea: pale beer, sweet, strong, rich, suitable to warm the holiday season and the first cold days of the new year. This year I wanted to use the buckwheat for it’s aromatic characteristics; moreover, the finished product has been added with lactic bacteria in order to stabilize the flavor and create a light sourness typical of some Belgian beers. The resulting beer is very original and complex, with malty touch, harmonious, with a wide range of fruity notes, especially citrus fruits and dried fruits, spicy, woody, and finally a fascinating hop. It’s fermented with English yeast and final addition of lactic bacteria. Better tasted not with food, but with good music and nice friends. It warms, cheers and tighten the bonds. Enjoy.

Tap. Amber with barely no head but for some vanishing big bubbles. Fantastic complex nose, peppery, sour, fruity, malty. A very nice lactic acidity hits your palate after some chewy fruitiness. No traces of that abv. I’d had drunk liters.

ambrata schiuma meedia abbasrtanza persiostente il nbasop è prima maltato poi un leggeo acidulo e un tocco di luppolo in bocca il malto riempie la bocca la bocca la lieve acidità aiuta a renderla beverina forse il corpo non è eccessivo il finale si sentono netter gli aromi del luppolo forse non stepitos a ma un abirra che trova diverse caratteristiche in una sola bevuta

courtesy of fiulijn - cloudy dark orange colour, absolutely no foam (just some big bubbles on the side of the glass); aroma of pepper and oranges; very sweet with a correct malt body and a very low carbonation; some late sourness brings some balance; sticky finish with notes of apricot, herbs and pepper; moderately dry; the relative high alcohol content is not apparent - a very confusing brew

Bottled
Cloudy colden color. The aroma is lightly sour and fruity. Good body structure, with light malt flavor; the buckwheat gives a special flavor, it’s a bit spicy and lightly sour; refreshing and pleasant. There is a nice, even if hidden, hopping.
