13/02/2012 Bir&Fud Bottega (330ml bottle). Bruna, scura, impenetrabile, schiuma poco abbondante color bianco sporco. Aroma di malto, lieviti, molto speziata, cioccolata, frutti rossi. In bocca è dolce, caramello, ancora un accenno di cioccolato, lieviti, finale appena amarognolo. Non è bilanciatissima, risulta un po’ appiccicaticcia in bocca e stucchevole. Corpo medio, carbonazione corretta. Senza infamia e senza lode.

33cl bottle. Thin creamy white head. Clear deep amber pour. Lovely aftertaste. Very nice beer

Dark brown color with a fine off-white head. Fruity caramel aroma. Good balanced, smooth belgian strong ale.

Don’t like spicy and herbal, but it is indeed present in this beer, though not as much as I feared. The smell is still average and the taste fair, so not that bad.
