La Petrognola for Coletti Bonta della Garfagnana “Birra Alle Castagne”
33cl brown glass bottle, “Da consumarsi preferibilimente entro il: L65 19 05 21” and sampled on 04/12/19
€4,00 @ Bonta’ Della Garfagnana di Coletti s.r.l., Via del Fiore N.1, Roggio, IT
Notes: 9% ground-up wood-dried chestnuts in the mash, and 3% spelt. The remainder is water, barley, hops, and yeast. Unfiltered and unpasteurized. Hazy dark amber/orange body beneath a full head of fluffy off-white foam. The aroma is a little bit unusual with a hint of smokiness over some caramelish malt. The flavor offers some of that smokiness as well - at the start, through the middle, and in the finish! That I was not expecting. I’ve found nuttiness in chestnut beers but never that smokiness, and I love it! It’s quite unique. There’s also some fruitiness to it as well. On to the flavor... the caramel maltiness remains for sure, and it’s a combination of both golden caramel and darker reddish caramel. It’s sweetish but not sweet, a touch nutty, smoky as noted, and lightly fruity. A median bitterness balances it and it finishes dry with some smokiness and a touch of apple-like fruitiness lingering. In the mouth it’s medium bodied and crisp. The head retention is quite good, and the lacing is very good as well. Overall it’s impressive as a Castagne beer, but also just as a beer in and of itself.
