Swaroga (792) - Brussels, BELGIUM - MAY 17, 2012
Beautiful and chic 75cl bottle. Hazy and brown. Low to medium dirty white head. Nose : It smells really fresh with dominating gauze like aroma. Strong citrus zest. Smoked wood. Fermented cabbage. Roasted bread. Spices. Sip : lively and aggressive carbonation. It attacks the throat but it isn’t mouthful. Low to medium body with oily feeling. Strong wood and smoky dryness with sweet malt and sour lambic like feeling. strong lambs with dominating deep alcohol. Almost if I drunk the champagne with woody limbik notes. Interesting and original. Deserves the fuss.

IlBevitorediLA (451) - ITALY - MAY 3, 2012
Birra da meditazione. Esattamente... il termine meditazione, nella sua più semplice accezione, descrive come meglio non può questa birra. Aroma liquoroso, legnoso con punte di vaniglia. Al palato è molto complessa tannica, acidula e liquorosa. Anche qui torrna la vaniglia con una nota di Rum e via via mentre si riscalda assume un carattere da Scotch Whisky. Assolutamente imperdibile. Da bere a piccoli sorsi per impegnare ottimamente una serata accompagnandola con un buon libro, su una terrazza l’estate o il semplice relax dinanzi a un bel camino scoppiettante, d’inverno.

BARLEYWINEO (106) - Tacoma, USA - APR 28, 2012
A; poured a cloudy amber color with good carbonation leaving a nice white cap S: Complex and delicous. Caramel, toffee, pears, apricots, green apples, raisins, vanilla, oak and plenty of booze T: Starts out with fruit flavors of pear and apricot, that are quickly joined by the toffee and vanilla elements with alcohol forward; after the swallow, the finish is long and flavorful M: Medium bodied with considerable foaming that goes on within the mouth. I thought the 13% was well disguised O: Amazing brew

GothGargoyle (571) - Vancouver, British Columbia, CANADA - APR 8, 2012
Cloudy orange/amber with a small pale head that dissipates quickly and noticeable carbonation. Aroma is peach, cider vinegar, rhubarb, caramel. Good body, slightly syrupy mouthfeel, sweet on the palate with a slight tang in the aftertaste. Taste is caramel, dates, plum, apricot, orange marmalade. Delightful
