fiulijn (5900), Como; Lausanne (CH); Malmö (SWE), Italy Aug 14, 2002 Dark amber colour, hazy, big head, fine perlage. Characteristic aroma of oak cask, tart, black fruits, old hop. Pretty malty, some sweetness, not enough sour; good body, smooth, a hint of liquorice; halfway between a Dubbel and a Oud Bruin. Ordinary palate. A hidden complexity, a great potential, but definitely not ready; must try after a few years of cellar.
