Bevuta alla spina al Mulligan’s di Milano a marchio Dominus. Giŕ bevuta in passato con gran gusto, questa birra, negli ultimi tempi, ha perso un po’ della sua attrattiva. In particolar modo ha perso corpo, slegandone i componenti dalla compattezza aromatica che la contraddistinguevano.

Lowe1983 (1226) - Dayton, Ohio, USA - JUN 15, 2009
Pours an amber color with an off-white head. Aroma is dark fruits, caramel malts, and a hint of alcohol. Flavor is similar with a dry almost sweet finish. Slight warming but not too much.

michael-pollack (4536) - King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, USA - JUN 15, 2009
750ml Bottle: Faint aroma of grains, slight caramel, light plastic, and some fruit. Poured orange in color with a tiny head that disappeared very quickly. Cloudy. Sparkling. Many large-sized particles throughout. Flavor is medium sweet. Tastes of malts, slight yeast, caramel, light spices, grains, slight butter, and slight honey. Thin, tingly texture. Average to lively carbonation. Sweet, honey, slight caramel, and sweet malt finish is lightly dry.

deyholla (3154) - Waukesha, Wisconsin, USA - MAY 28, 2009
Bottle at the Copenhagen beer festival. Poured a pale golden with minimal white head. Aroma was of a sweet perfume. Flavor begins quite sweet but ends metallic and alcohol lingers.

austone (1062) - Turku; Pori, FINLAND - MAY 28, 2009
33cl bottle. Amber, fluffy but thin white head. Nose is alcohol, rust, mild herbs and dried pear. Flavor is more of the same, huge booziness, metal, stuffy herbs, slightly ashy bitterness, low on fruits. Loads of alcohol warmth in the finish. Medium bodied, average soft palate. Here’s a prime example off a bad bad tripel.

Beer2000 (2919) - Kristiansand, NORWAY - MAY 21, 2009
330 ml bottle. Slightly hazy, dark golden body with a small but dense off-white head. Fresh fruity and spicy aroma. Flavor is soft, sweet fruity with spices and a hint of caramel. Nice tripel.

Marsiblursi (2371) - Göteborg, SWEDEN - MAY 17, 2009
(Bottle) Pours deep golden with a large, off-white head. The aroma holds malty tones of honey, nuts, light caramel and light marzipan. Fruity notes of sweet red apples, pears, canned pineapples, sweet lemons and bananas as well as hints of peppery and clove-like phenols. Light herbal hops and dusty yeast. The flavour is light to medium sweet and near medium bitter with tones of bread, nuts, honey, oranges, red apples, apricots, herbs and light clove. The mouthfeel is clean and light acidic with a light crisp carbonation. The finish is of alcohol, almond paste, honey and earthy herbs. Medium bodied.
