Urc la tipica birra che mi mette un po’ in difficoltà: non potrei non definirla "buona", effettivamente la potrei anche consigliare... ma soggettivamente ha un elemento che mi spiazza, ed è l’estrema (e dico davvero estrema) dolcezza. Non soffusa, aggressiva, proprio una botta enorme di dolce che ti spiazza ad ogni sorso e ti fa venir voglia di dire "basta" dopo poco. Per il resto notevole complessità, aroma molto particolare, sentore etilico davvero ridotto data la gradazione, aspetto fantastico (anche se la bellissima schiuma se ne scende presto).

Dark with thin head that dissipates quickly. Smell is ok, but tastes overly sweet. Overall, a disappointment.

Bottle. Dark reddish brown colour, beige head. Very sweet aroma of alcohol, dark fruits and malts. Flavour is sickling sweet, syrup, alcohol and sweet malts. Wayyyy too sweet, I can’t finish this beer.

The head disappears quickly. The aroma is malty and sweet with more than a hint of alcohol. Taste is thick, syrupy but malty and of dark bread. The flavor is syrupy.

A 0.33L bottle from Alko shop. A fast disappearing pale brown head. Red brownish colour. Some syrup and maltiness in the taste. Also some oak in the taste(?). Hoppiness in the end.

Pours dark mohagony with a small head. The nose is chocolate and caramel. Comes across the palate as strong caramel, chocolate and even some plum.
