Medium cloudiness to a dark orange or brown body with a medium sized head. Has a nutty mouthwash or toothpaste mint and spice smell, some malty forward bran notes and a chestnut and peanut skin smell and flavor throughout. A little plain overall, a bit of a simple flavor, but nice enough, and different, to score some points. Some ginger root and light cocoa make an appearance at warmer temperatures, as does a more pronounced peanut/chestnut character, and some very light smoked (smoked nuts) flavors.

Jun 28, 2008 Thanks to PilsnerPeter for sharing this one. Deep amber beer. The aroma is really rich and smoky. Rich and sweet with a softly honeyed maltiness. A little bit fruity and spicy as well. The fruitiness is quite nice, sort of like dark berries. A hint of clove and more sweet chewy smokiness. Rich and toffeeish flavour with a long lingering sweetness. This is a very tasty brew.

Jun 26, 2008 Bottle at Joe’s. Aroma of ginger and chestnut, lemon. Very cloudy pour. Very sweet, a touch of syrup in a good way, nutty spices, maple. Light drinking. Nice stuff.

Jun 22, 2008 first of a long night, and the second chestnut beer i have ever had. notes of alcohol in the nose with a bit of a bbq. the beer is a little thin but the chestnuts flavors adds dimension to the palate. sweet and a bit spicy, the better of the two that i have tried. yet another interesting effort out of italy

Jun 22, 2008 This was the first of 34 beers at a tasting at JoeMcphee’s. Set a pretty nice pace to a great evening. Interesting beer, a little hot. Honey, spice, floral flavor with balanced carbonation. Medium body. Darker orange color, light minimal head.
