RichJ7 (890), Cullman, Alabama, USA Aug 28, 2008 Cloudy deep brown in color. Aroma of chestnut and caramel. Flavor is sweet and nutty. Full-bodied and very nice. bookman10 (13), Osseo, Minnesota, USA Aug 17, 2008 Very interesting beer. Nutty smell and flavor. Dark brown with a very fizzy head--carbonation seems a bit overdone. Chestnut and honey flavors--a bit sweet, smoky. Really enjoyed this one. vyvvy (1756), Hazelwood, Missouri, USA Aug 15, 2008 Pours dark amber / brown with a tan head. The aroma has nuts, toasted malt and tobacco - quite dry overall. Medium / thick body that is very smooth with light carbonation. The taste has the aroma traits and is initially dominated by the tobacco traits, then comes some dark nuts, horehound candy and then on the finish some honey comes out. An interesting beer, but I don’t know how much I’d want of it. The recent offerings from Italy have been very intriguing and this goes along with them. jjpm74 (3155), Stratford, CT 06614, Connecticut, USA Aug 12, 2008 Pours amber/brown with a tan head. Smells nutty with some notable honey hints. Tastes spicy and very gruit like. Very palatable. nearbeer (1334), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA Jul 8, 2008 500 ml. Deep garnet with a one-finger creamy and lasting head. Smoked dark fruit, clove, honey and wheat aromas. Flavors of fig, tart cherry, clove, earth, smoke, cedar, oak, and toffee. Medium-heavy body is a little too fizzy, but nicely balanced between sticky and dry.
