Birra Toccalmatto "Vecchio Bruno"
,33 cl brown glass bottle for 5,50€ @ Birra +, Roma, Italy
From Toccalmatto, "The Beer Freak Show", comes Vecchio Bruno, a sour Emilian Red Ale.
It pours a dark chestnut brown with ruby highlights beneath a foamy head of slightly yellowed tan. As might be expected of a sour beer, the head retention and lacing are not the greatest.
The aroma expresses a clear tartness without being brash. It's fruity (black cherry, raspberry) and mineralish, oaky, and acetic.
In the mouth it's sharp, acidic, puckering, and crisp with a medium body and a median, fine-bubbled carbonation. It's just slightly astringent and woody.
It opens up a bit in the flavor, revealing subtle notes of currant, grape, nuts, lemon, currant, and leather. It's sour, but not so much that you'll find it puckering once you've had a sip and your mouth's been coated with the acidity; and it's funky but only mildly so. Along with the oak it finishes quite dry and vinous.
