3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20 hawthorne00 (1305) - Melbourne, AUSTRALIA - JAN 18, 2012
Bottle. Gushed a bit. Clear dark amber with an off white head. Aroma of dried fruits, caramel, hints of spices. Creamy mouthfeel. Rich mouthfeel is lightened by creamy texture and light carbonation. Taste has caramel, some chocolate and lots of stewed and dried fruits. There’s a little plummy sourness too. Spicy bitterness seems meek at first but builds in a long finish. Very agreeable, balanced and alive.

3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 molly75 (132) - (Madrid - Espańa), ITALY - DEC 21, 2011
ASPETTO
SCHIUMA: color beige, buona presenza, media finezza e residuo persistente ma il grosso della schiuma si degrada in fretta
COLORE: marrore scuro, con toni porpora, piuttosto limpida
AROMA
profumi maltati, tostato, zucchero caramellato, note fruttate di contorno e sentori di lieviti e alcohol
SAPORE
imbocco dominato dai malti, che ripropongono gli aromi: tostato, caramello che infondono una base dolce a cui si aggiungono leggere note fruttate (frutta secca) e lieviti. Sul finale vira parzialmente verso amari ben distribuiti fra malti e luppoli, a cui si somma uno speziato/pepato sostenuto da sapori alcolici
TEXTURE
corpo medio, morbida in bocca, cabonazione sostenuta
COMMENTO FINALE
buona birra, piacevole con buone basi. Che sia una lager non si nota molto e della bock evidenzia il carattere maltato e una alcolicitŕ presente, nonostante la % non sia elevatissima (ma sono proprio 6.66 ?). Per il resto i lieviti e un fruttato gironzolante tradisce l’orgine belga: niente di male ma allontanano dallo stile di riferimento. forse un pelino troppo carbonata e comunque meno corpulenta di quello che mi aspettavo. ci sono Chouffe migliori.

Light brownish, ruby colour, yellowish white head. Very fruity aroma with slight hoppy notes. Taste is ale-like, a bit less intensive than I expected. Rolls on your tongue, tinge is sweet and malty. I miss something from it -more yeast maybe?- but it certainly worth a try.

Csak a jó sör, Budapest. Opálos barnásvörös színe van, tetején közepes méretű sárgás tojáshabbal. Illatában aszalt piros bogyós gyümölcsök, jó adag maláta, karamell és alkohol érződik. Ízével sok hasonlóságot mutat, szintén érezhető a malátás gyümölcsösség, alkoholosság, valamint kevés gyógyfüves komló is, különösen lecsengésében. Keserédes, nem túl testes és a szénsavassága is rendben van. Tetszetős darab, de még ennél is többet vártam volna.

33cl brown bottle in Rotterdam. Pours a deep clear mahoganny with slight white lace. Slight malty aroma. Light to medium body. Clean malty flavor. Slightly dry finish. Nice.
