Bottle from Corks of Cotham, Bristol, shared with Slothez. Straw coloured pour with a slight haze and a mid sized white head. Nose was fragrant with some spice and citrus notes. Interesting herby flavour; I’ve no idea what myrrh should taste like but am guessing its lurking herein. Dryish finish with some tartness. Something a bit different and quite enjoyable.

Cloudy dark yellow pour with a big white head. Aroma is full of spice, grain and hop. Flavor has more dough, grassy hop, and spice to it. Crisp on the tongue. Solid brew.

Hazy golden pour with a large white head. Lots of yeasty fruiy dough in the nose with clove, ginger, and grassy hop note abounding. The flavor holds crisp grassy citrus with lots of perfume and more fruitcake dough notes. Medium palate with supple effervescence and a clean finish.

Color is a cloudy dark yellow/light orange. Very cloudy. Head is compact and creamy, very nice, almost perfect. Aroma is sweet, very spiced, with honey hints, bread, cereal, banana... Very rich, complex. Taste is fantastic, with great correspondence to aroma: spice, honey, banana, fresh bread and cereal. Very good. The body is full, soft, almost creamy. Finish is rich and sweet, spiced and malty. Outstanding!
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 marcot (771) - Campomorone, ITALY - AUG 22, 2010
In bottiglia comprata da Squillari; bevuta anche alla spina a Utuberfest 2008 e Balla coi Cinghiali 2010. Sicuramente particolare, con spezie inusuali che si percepiscono già al naso. In bocca sono ancora più forti, con il solito "tocco" di Baladin che si riconosce in ogni birra. Mi è piaciuta, specie abbinata con cibo indiano
