2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20Poca schiuma, colore rubino torbido, al naso malto, al palato ancora malto con spiccata tonilità alcolica e note lievemente fruttate che ammorbidiscono.
Fino a mezza pinta a fine serata è godibile, oltre è suicidio...

Bevuta a Pisa alla fine di una serata devastante con Corkscrew prima della mia partenza per le ferie. Ma che è sta roba? Non c’è un voto più basso? Era meglio la Poretti

Questo non è un barley wine, è una porcheria. La volevo assaggiare da ere perché quand’ero più piccolo la tenevano in un pub a Ronco Scrivia e me l’ero fatta sfuggire nel periodo di beerhunting estremo (il pub aveva cambiato gestione). Quindi ieri ho pensato bene di sbronzarmi nel mezzo del pomeriggio con sta schifezza.

On tap at Kikuya pub, Florence. The only beer available on the night. At 10% this is like lighter fuel the first few mouthfuls. Amber with swift white head. Mainly just toffee, burnt caramel and alcohol. Slight burn from the abv but that eventually passes after 3 pints so no need to worry. The finish is...well I can’t exactly remember but it may have involved waking up the next morning in a gutter embracing a blow up doll and trousers around the ankles. Wasn’t me but you know, it could happen *cough*.

I had it in London for almost 2 months, a friend of mine used to have a party almost everyday and of course I used to be there everyday. It is a good one, not easy to find anyway, but still a good beer to eat seasoned cheddar or stilton, I simply like it with fresh tropical fruit, like mango, pinapple and banana.

Draught at Kikuya on Via dei Benci in Florence, Italy numerous times during the summer of 2003. At 10% this was the beer to get you smashed. Definitely did not hide its high ABV. Although I enjoyed it and had about a dozen pints of it I still thought it tasted like wallpaper paste.

Draught at Birreria "I 5 Tavoli" (Firenze) [www.i5tavoli.it]. Medium foam, compact and of good persistence. Amber color, limpid and discreetly bubbly. Medium and much alcoholic scent; prickly to the nose. Much flowery and with determine malt notes. Fresh and much strong taste, extremely alcoholic and bitter on the finish.
