Oct 27, 2005 Brown bottle conditioned ale from Armanetti’s, Mundelein, IL. ABV 6.3%. Best before 6/20/05 so I’m at least nine months ahead of the expiration date. Red amber hued ale having a small off-white diminishing head. Intense malt aroma touched with heady fruity esters. Soft carbonation. Medium-to-full bodied that starts with lightly sweet roasted malt flavor with touch of hop bitterness and finishes with dry hoppy bitterness. A delicious hoppy ale that goes great with Italian sausages (my dinner).

Oct 23, 2005 Beautiful looking beer in the glass. Poured carefully, with a fairly small head. Noticeable biscuit aroma, not too strong. Biscuit continues into the taste, also malty and very full. Long, firm hoppy aftertaste: a really good example of bottle-conditioned strong ale.

Apr 10, 2006 Poured a rich amber color with a tall, tan head that lasted most of the glass. Rich flavor that was full of maltiness, caramels, and fruits. Hints of sweetness and floral tones. Very tasty brew.

Jan 1, 2006 Bottle: Clear amber coloured, mid-sized rocky off-white head, quite stable; malty, nutty, caramelly aroma with an almost vinous(sherry) tinge, also distinctive notes of herbal hops; the initial fruity and malty sweetness switches very quickly over to a dry, malty and distinctive bitter-aromatic taste; dry malty, fruity and a bit chocolatey finish with a big, lingering hoppy aromatic aftertaste. Medium bodied, gentle, soft mouthfeel. Magnificent ale with a fine balance of malt and hop aromas. Prvni pivo v roku 2006, to je zacatek...........
