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.

Bottle: Dark amber cherry, nose of smoke and caramel, smoky nutty flavor with light spice and fig. Not sure what chestnuts taste like but it’s sweet and chewy. Complex, toasty, earthy, nutty cloying tail and super spicy. Not worth the price.

Bottle: Cloudy brown color with a tangy flavor, almost malt liquorish. Kind of weird. I am surprised by the high rating. Thanks BuckDich.

Heavy spicy aroma. Huge, off-white head. Good lacing. Cloudy brown body. Light bitter flavor, spicy and chestnuts also. Medium palate.

Bottle pours out a nice brown topped with a small tan head. Aroma of hops and yeast. Tast of pit fruit and the yeast once again. Italy should just stuck to wine. Thanks BuckDich

Light brown and chunky. Not much head. Minty, nutty, lightly earthy, leafy aroma. Light nutty notes, minty accents. Fairly refreshing, with good maltiness. Balanced, complex character. Pretty cool stuff, actually.

Brewtopia bottle. Hazy with particles. Sweet, nutty aroma. Gorgeous already. Flavors include herbal nuances, hint of anise, and lovely flowers. A romantic beer and one to seek out again.
