Poretti Bock Rossa

Brewed by Carlsberg Italia
Style: Dunkler Bock
Lainate, Italy

Bottle. Clear amber coloured with a huge off white head. Aroma of malts and fruits. Flavour of malts and fruits.

Smallish white head of small bubbles, subsides quickly, leaving traces of lace on the glass. Body is clear brown with a red tinge. Sweet aroma of caramel with fruity and faintly roasty notes. Taste is very sweet and malty, again caramel with some roastiness. The fruity, apple-like, taste is still there, but doesn’t fit in too well. Faintly bitter aftertaste, which goes slightly dry and metallic, with the dryness lingering. Had this at cellar temperature, but it’s probably more harmonic at room temperature. The metallic bitterness bothers me, but otherwise it’s not bad.

A very good beer. Balance between sweetness and bitterness. Beautiful amber colour. Spicy (pepper, cinnamon), but not very.

Ancient from Milan beer, red steals and caramellato aroma. Antica birra Milanese, dal colore rosso e dall’aroma caramellato.

Bottled. Dense and enough persistent foam. Beautiful red shining color, lightly dark and discreetly bubbly. Fresh and pleasant taste, notes of red fruit and alcohol. Flowery and much persistent finish. Not particularly heavy and drinkable. Indeed good.

A clear amber brew with reddish tints, medium beige head. Malt, caramel and fruit in the nose. A dusty sweetness of fruit and malt with an earthy quality to it. A bit thin feeling.

A red beer with no head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of alcohol, oranges, and peaches. The flavor is malty with notes of caramel and berries - especially cowberries. It has quite a thin mouthfeel - especially considering the 6.5% ABV, but all in all an OK beer. Thanks to Alex (fiulijn) for trading me this.

A nice amber color with a smaller off white head. A pretty good flavor of caramel. Defiantly a good beer. Different from a regular bock.
