COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Palanfrina is the fall seasonal and is brewed from September to December. The chestnuts arrive with first chilly days in autumn. Palanfrina brewed with chestnuts is a beer that warms the spirit. Palanfrina is a full-bodied beer with a tawny color and with an intense nose. The use of only regional chestnuts gives the beer a local flavor. Palanfrina is great with pungent cheeses and makes an optimal companion for chocolate desserts.

Troppo forte e troppo dolce, schiuma zero, si presenta anche male.... Non mi e’ piaciuta.

Bottle at Eataly store, Bologna, Italia 26.02.11 Pours dark amber with a hazy white head. This is malty with a touch of sourness on nose. Soft in the mouth, likeable though not stunning. I did get the nuts but they weren’t too overpowering. A7 A3 T7 P3 Ov14 3.4

The right beer to drink in front of the fire with chestnuts on winter. The alcoholic gradation is very noticeable and the body is rather full. Soft carbonation, long finish.

Ungstrup (22906) - Oamaru, NEW ZEALAND - AUG 22, 2010
Bottled. A deep red beer with a thin tan head. The aroma has notes of malt, caramel, and over ripe fruits. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, over ripe fruit - a bit too over ripe for my liking, metal, and caramel soup. The body is thick. Thanks fiulijn for sharing.

Not at all what I was expecting. Maybe beyond its bbe or bad bottle - whatever. Poured with ok tan head and a little lace. Color is slightly hazy reddish amber. Aroma was chemical solvents. Some slight sourness as well. Body was ok and so was carbonation. Flavor’s the same. Finish is like flavor. I was really looking forward to this and am vastly disappointed. Maybe try again someday.
