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.

fiulijn (10000) - Como, ITALY - MAY 29, 2009
Bottle from In Bocca al Luppolo
Dark amber color; small creamy head that reduces quickly. Light aroma, alcohol, chestnut honey (that disappears quickly), unimpressive. Medium body strength, with some caramel flavor, but with a dry impression towards the end; the fermented honey leaves too little body and too much alcohol. Nothing special.

Bottle 75 cl. Courtesy of fiulijn. Pours a clear dark amber golden with an off-white head. Intense aroma of overripe fruit and alcohol - some acetone also. Medium body, overripe fruit, yeast and acetone. Dry finish. Appears very Belgian in style. Decent alright. 260309

The aroma is not what was expected. I do get some nuttiness but it’s mostly yeasty and somewhat herbal with some light fruit. The appearance is chestnut brown with a small but nice head. The palate is smooth but thin. Overall it’s not good.
