For now I'm biding my time by toasting the new bride and groom with the Dolli Raptor from Birrificio Montegioco. It's brewed in Italy and per the label, it is a special edition ale matured in Dupont calvados oak barrels.
It poured a hazy apricot tinged amber color with an off white head that quickly faded away. The scent is very light....kind of a slightly sweet oak aroma. The flavor starts out very reminiscent of a Gueuze...a strong tart aroma and flavor as the smell hits my nose and the beer hits my taste buds. It quickly reveals a nice round oak and finishes with just a hint of earthy funk.
Cheers!
