UPDATED: APR 26, 2019 On tap @Luppolo Station (Rome). Nera, densa, impenetrabile, schiuma beige media. Al naso note di cioccolato, caffè, arancia candita. In bocca è dolce, con finale amaro leggero a bilanciare. Corpo pieno, leggermente inferiore alle attese, carbonazione media. Mi aspettavo di più.

750 ml bottle from the brewery. January 2018 vintage. Pours a cloudy, deep, dark brown, not quite opaque, with a moderate tan head that settles into a thick ring and a little bit of film that doesn’t last. Notes of cacao nibs, roasted malts, toasted sugars, vanilla, tobacco, and just a wee bit of orange zest. Medium-bodied, with moderate carbonation and a sweet, mildly roasty mouthfeel. The orange isn’t particularly assertive 10 months out but it’s in great shape. Good stout.

Bottle at Bumba. Aroma of berries, milk chocolate and malt. Flavor of milk chocolate, orange, malt and vanilla. Another great perennial stout.
