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.

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.

Pours amber/brown with a tan head. Smells nutty with some notable honey hints. Tastes spicy and very gruit like. Very palatable.

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.
