Mah! Presa allo Sweet House di via Scarlatti, che ogni tanto ha qualche bottiglia curiosa o perlomeno non tra le più reperibili (aveva anche le più classiche Blond e Tripel); l’ho bevuta a pranzo il giorno dopo, con la pasta alla salsa di noci e.. il tacchino? Non mi ricordo mica più! Sì credo proprio il tacchino... era il 30 aprile e il tacchino dovevamo mangiarlo il 29 sera invece poi abbiamo mangiato..? che abbiamo mangiato? ah gli hamburger. Comunque questa birra mi ha lasciato davvero perplesso, tanto alcol e poca pochissima complessità, giusto l’aroma è un poco più invitante ma per il resto si mantiene su standard qualitativi medio-bassi. Ardet nec consumitur. Nel cul

Nice look to it... brown and has off-white head... lighter than would be expected for a brown beer. Dark fruit and yeast aroma. Taste is relatively free from alcohol and quite smooth. Sweet taste of dark fruits and a lot of malts to back it up.

Dark deep brown with retaining white head, a tad of the same lace. Malty yeasty aroma. A real foamer on opening. Above average mouthfeel. Mostly sweet malt taste, and yeast thickening it up. Drinkable, sweet though not cloying.

Pale brown colour with thin lacy head. Oaky, vinous aroma. Flavour is very rich and has similarities to red wine in it’s ripe fruitiness and alcoholic strength.
