Great thanks to Emanuele and the staff at Ma Che Siete Venuti a Fà and Bir & Fud for sharing this with me on my last night in Europe. Pours medium brown with a minimal head. Aroma of chocolate, caramle, and dark fruits, Flavor is similar, bull of dark malts. Has some roast bitterness in the finish. Very nice beer.

Aug 10, 2008 Bottle at GBBF 08. Riserva 2007. Recommended by Lorenzo Dabove (Kuaska), not your usual barman. Almost black with a small ruddy head. Sweet nose, hints of nuts and dark fruit. Sweet nutty caramel flavours, prunes and chocolate. The vinous character appears after a while. Full-bodied. A great Italian beer, no doubt.

Aug 9, 2008 Bottle at GBBF 08. Very deep brown and slightly oily. The aroma will put hairs on your chest at ten paces! Coffee, sugars, dark fruits and a load of alcohol. As you sip the beer, you can’t help but feel it is single-handedly giving you a hangover, and that’s from a tasting measure! The use of wine wort certainly makes for some interesting flavours, but I don’t think I could drink this very often.
