Dark color, brown with red shades. The aroma has low quality watered down coffee and cinnamon. Dry mouthfeel, dry chocolate flavor, and a savage infection going on. Undrinkable.

piuttosto scura schiuma media discreta persistenza naso speziato tendente al dolce in bocca si perde un poco finale speziato non molto lungo

Bottled at Amiata brewery. Reddish-brown with beige compact head. Good nose, taste of caramel, nuts and spices, still quite refreshing for a christmas beer. Well blanced, not acidic at all. Good winter brew!

Aroma acido piuttosto pesante, di guasto; il carattere della birra si percepisce appena appena in fondo all’acidità che la domina. Malmessa, da riprovare un giorno ma solo con la sicurezza che stavolta sia buona

Bottled.A hazy amber beer with a thin orangey head. The aroma is sweet and acidic with notes of burnt and acidic plastic malt. The flavor is sour with nots of malt and burnt caramel. Huge thanks to yespr for sharing.

Small head vanishing over hazy orange beer. Oppressive corianderish nose, spiced. Some diacetyl and lactic. Horrible coriander taste, fake citrus, citrus peel, lactic. Aggressive MF, spritzy, thinned body. Terribly faulty, overspiced, lactic.

(Bottle 75 cl) Courtesy of yespr. Slightly hazy orangey brown with a small beige head. Aroma of cardamom and ginger. Light and watery with no real malt base. Dry and sourish finish. Clearly infected. 290508

[Italian Blind tasting @ yespr, Bottle 20#] Clear deep brown with medium off white head. Sourish aroma with roasted malt and caramel notes. Sour flavor with roasted malt, caramel and citrus notes. Clearly infected.

Blind tasting @ Yespr. Dark, red-brown with a creamy head. The aroma has notes of apples, basement and slightly roasted malt. The flavour is sweetish with notes of sour citrus, hints of orange peel and perhaps cinnamon? It seem very weird and out of balance.

Bottle#20: 75 cL bottle. Pours hazy and dark brown with a lacing off-white head. Spiced and mild acidic aroma. Flavour is spiced and mild dry malty. Slight yeasty too. Has an acidic touch all the way through. Seems infected yet somehwat hidden by the spices.
