Commercial Description:
A beer brewed and matured to 13.5% ABV going to 14.5% in next productions. Malts: Pilsner Durst, aromatic Dingemans, caramunich 140 Dingemans. Hops: Hallertau Hernsbrucker, Spalt Select and East Kent Golding. Brewing process: the wort is hyperconcentrated then boiled for two hous and half. Primary fermentation for 25 in steel vessels. Then after a sterile filtration (to eliminate primary yeast strains) the beer is transfered in a steel vessel with transparent membrane and a "oxygen hat". Afeter several tasting from 6 to 24 months later (it depends on the oxidation velocity, very inconsistant!) the brewer decides when it's time to bottle in 50cl. champagne shape bottles with good quality cork. The production is very limited. Three productions brewed during two years will be available from October 2006.

mmm mmm mmm, My most expensive beer at 28E or ~£20 I was worried about this at that price but i loved it. Deep ruby coloured, rich liquer like tracle rum nose, think viscous syrupy sweet with a little smokeyness, little woody treacle, with hints of sherry and a little spirit like evaporation on the pallate. Acording to the bottle its also best before "the end of the world"

Lovely stuff. Smells of port or sherry, and this feeling of aged fortifies wine is present i the flavour, too. To be slowly sipped - one glass per person is adequate! This is like capturing the spirit of beer. The label says 12%, it has the warming feeling of 30%. Dried fruit - prunes and cherries, a lovely sweet and sour aroma lingering. A perfect end to a beer evening - this is as good as it gets!

Sherry-like aromas, oaky with a lot vanilla. Pours reddish amber. Smooth and sweet, very oaky, cherries and dark fruits, port-like flavors with vanilla and sweet malts. So so smooth. Awesome beer!!!

Un assaggio offerto dalla Casa, a Piozzo; versa senza traccia di schiuma, colore ambrato con riflessi rossicci. Aroma con note di legno e miele, sapore dolcissimo ma non stucchevole, ricorda del buon porto. Sarebbe davvero da togliersi lo sfizio e concedersi una bottiglia da meditazione ogni tanto. Eccezionale.
