18/III/13 - 75cl bottle from Domus Birrae (Rome, IT) @ home - BB: n/a - 2011 vintage or earlier (2013-254)
Clear purple to red brown beer, big frothy beige head, little stable, bit adhesive. Aroma: cola bottle candy, citric acidity, Rodenbach like aroma, cocoa powder. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: sourish start, leather, tobacco leafs, mocha, little bitter, dark chocolate, lactobacillus. Aftertaste: hint of caramel, tobacco, pretty sour, mocha, coffee. I’m pretty sure the beer got infected, this sourness was not intentional, yet it works for me. Since I’m a sucker for Flemish Sour Red ales...

Bottle. Murky brown with a thick bubbly beige head. Aroma is nuts, chocolate, toffee, dark cherries, blackberry, spicy, coffee, skumbanan, roasted malt. Taste is near heavy sweet, medium bitter and light fat. Medium+ body, oily/syrupy texture, soft+ carbonation. Sweet all the way, but has some roasted malt bitterness to balance it a bit. Good soft warming brew.

Bottle from trade with Tricyclist. Dark brown pour, big, thick head, aroma of malt with significant chocolate notes. Flavor is sweet malt with hints of dried fruit, tobacco and chocolate. Moderately complex, slightly thick, interesting and enjoyable. Finishes with the flavors and a little tart. Alcohol is well hidden. Another nice brew from Matthew.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Rated 3/24/13. Portion of a 750ml bottle into a Hunahpu’s snifter. From notes.
A: Pours a dark brown color. The head is...well, not really existent; it’s just an offwhite-shade ring.
S: This has a lot of hazelnut, caramel, brown sugar, and even some chocolate. A good ’sweet’ aroma.
T: There’s a good nutty flavor to start. The midtaste and finish sees a minor appearance of balancing hops, caramel qualities, and some lighter fruits.
M: The body is medium, without too much sweetness or booziness. I could use a bit more creaminess, but that’s nitpicking.
O: One of the better brown ales I’ve had - which is the same thing I said about Maduro, I do believe. The more I have from Cigar City, the more I think they really know what the hell they’re doing down there in Florida.
