Commercial Description:
Palanfrina is the fall seasonal and is brewed from September to December. The chestnuts arrive with first chilly days in autumn. Palanfrina brewed with chestnuts is a beer that warms the spirit. Palanfrina is a full-bodied beer with a tawny color and with an intense nose. The use of only regional chestnuts gives the beer a local flavor. Palanfrina is great with pungent cheeses and makes an optimal companion for chocolate desserts.

Bottle 75 cl. Courtesy of fiulijn. Pours a clear dark amber golden with an off-white head. Intense aroma of overripe fruit and alcohol - some acetone also. Medium body, overripe fruit, yeast and acetone. Dry finish. Appears very Belgian in style. Decent alright. 260309

Light brown and chunky. Not much head. Minty, nutty, lightly earthy, leafy aroma. Light nutty notes, minty accents. Fairly refreshing, with good maltiness. Balanced, complex character. Pretty cool stuff, actually.

Bottle from In Bocca al Luppolo
Dark amber color; small creamy head that reduces quickly. Light aroma, alcohol, chestnut honey (that disappears quickly), unimpressive. Medium body strength, with some caramel flavor, but with a dry impression towards the end; the fermented honey leaves too little body and too much alcohol. Nothing special.

(75cl bottle) Small beige head with flecks among a cloudy cola body. Aroma is moderately sweet, artificial berry. Taste is moderately sweet, perfume, berry, some raisin, caramel, light smoke. Sticky medium-full body, doppelbockish.

Bottle, bought @ YNWA, Kolding.
Pours lightly hazy, dark amber with a great, creamy, yellowish-white head. Fine duration, good lacing. Aroma is very nutty, sweet caramel, some nougat and vinious. Highish carbonation, great creamy mouthfeel nonetheless. Flavour is very nice. Sweet nuttiness - almost Nutella-ish - light cocoa, vinious and light toffee. Long, lingering aftertaste with clear chestnut and light hops. Very lovely.

(750ml bottle) Pours an amber-brown with a small beige head. Aroma of roasted chestnuts, honey, florals, and caramel. Flavor of chestnuts, caramel malt, raisins, light smoke, nutmeg, and various other spices.
