[ASPETTO] marrone molto scuro , quasi nero, con leggeri riflessi porpora contro luce [SCHIUMA] beige, buona presenza, piuttosto fine e buona persistenza [ OLFATTO ] intensità media, malto torrefatto con sentori a caffè e cioccolato, lieviti, forse un leggerissimo tocco affumicato [GUSTO] buona intensità, con un tostato che sfocia in sapori di caffè, cioccolato amaro. Lasciano spazio ad un accenno di dolce sul fondo (cola) a cui poi segue una accenno di astringenza. Finale secco, amaro ma non intenso, che lascia un retrogusto secco ed una sensazione minerale. [TEXTURE] corpo medio, soave in bocca, media corbonazione, alcohol poco percettibile [COMMENTO FINALE] presentata come una via di mezzo fra irish stout a porter inglese…per quello che può significare. Comunque sia, una dark ale ben fatta, piacevole, pulita. L’avena sembra dare il suo contributo alla morbidezza in bocca. La carbonazione rimane al suo posto e i toni tostati soddisfano le apettative. Forse sul finale ha una leggera calata di tono, rimanendo un po’ piatta con toni non molto durevoli e sfuggenti ma nel complesso mi ha lasciato molto soddisfatto.

Color ebano con schiuma beige che svanisce frettolosamente. Al naso leggero tostato e avena. In bocca non mi fa impazzire, anzi mi sembra un pò a metà tra due stili e non mi convince molto.

bottle thanks to bu11zeye. poured dark brown/ruby with a beige head. aroma was dark roast, chocolate, and coffee. flavor was much the same plus some dark fruity notes coming out and had a light body.

Bottle: Medium to bigger creamy light tan light brown head on top of a light murky dark ruby brownish black colored beer. Smell toasted malts, light liquorice and light coffee infused with some sweet herbs and something watery light hoppy chocolate. Taste is a bit sparkling but disappears directly into a dusty background. Some light, sometimes watery, hints of coffee, toasted malts and barleys, herbs and spices and something light grainy hoppy. Hint of something light light sour, but just a slight hint in the far outskirts of this beer. Nice bitter light malty cacoa/coffee ish herby aftertaste. Low to medium carbo, watery mouthfeel, medium body and a watery texture. Not bad, but lacks the body a bit, also a bit watery but with a nice bitterness and light spicy… Love their bottles. Perfect for putting away a good beer to age for years. Tasted together with the Sally Brown Caffe Baracco

Redish brown with a small tan head. Chocolate and vanilla tones. Malt, bitterness and smoke. Medium body with a balanced finish.

0,33 l bottle, courtesy of Balazs, thanks!
Deep brown one with a creamy tan head. Moderated aroma of chocolate, caramel and toffee, light roasted character. Easy flavor profile, light ash, light chocolate, light caramel, light everything.

Bottle from Da Aldo. Poured deep ruby, almost black with a tan, lacing head. Molasses, brown sugar, vanilla in the nose. Licorice, roasted malts, hops in the aroma. Fairly light body with medium carbonation. Licorice, molasses in the aftertaste. Okay.

How can I right an Italian beer so high? It doesn’t even have any garlic in it. The aroma is very earthy with a good amount of coffee and chocolate. It looks great, deep brown with a creamy tan head. The flavor is sweet with the chocolate, some vanilla and the coffee. Medium bodied for a stout with a creamy lasting finish.
