L’ha presa Sergio, io l’ho giusto un poco assaggiata e devo ammettere che non ho tantissimi ricordi, sicuramente non spiacevole e - mi pare - piuttosto piena, una birra da osteria e salumi boni.

Si presenta molto molto scura, con una timida schiuma che dura tutto il tempo che serve per bere questa birra. Gli aromi sono molti e vanno dall’ovvio malto tostato al cioccolato, promettendo una stout fatta come si deve. In bocca rivela un gusto decisome complesso, da pasto più che da compagnia per la partita. Ancora riemerge il cioccolato, il caramello e il bruciacchiato. Rovina un pò la festa il retrogusto che scivola ahimé un po’ troppo nell’acido

Thanks Craig for sharing this bottle. Pours a dark brown colour with a thin light tan head. Nice malty aroma with oatmeal, chocolate, caramel and a little lemon sourness. Similar flavours with mild carbonation and a foamy mouth-feel. Not bad.

bottle at home ... dark brown black ... thin tan head ... light funky sour ... dark roast malt nose.... light fizz ... dark chocolate malt ... again hint of sourness... big cherry ... rich and dark

Draught @ Doppio Malto Brewing Company, via Milano 9, 22036 Erba (CO), Italy.
Clear dark brown color with a average, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, off-white head. Aroma is moderate to heavy malty, roasted, cold coffee, dark roasted. Flavor is moderate to heavy sweet and moderate malt bitter with a average to long duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. [20100306]

Near black dark brown beer with little head. Chocolate, wood, tobacco, and a little dark malts. Sweet & dark chocolate, dark malts, some hops, and wood. Very good balance. Generally very roasted character. Bit soft palate, falling a bit dead. Nice balance, pleasing beer, but petering out a little bit.

Bottle, thx to thewolf, Brown colour with a beige head. Aroma is smoked, roasted, malt. Flavour is smoked, roasted, chocolate, caramel, coffee. OK beer

Bottle, 75cl, thx to thewolf. Pours an almost clear brown body with a beige head. Caramel and some roast in the aroma, quite weak, and there’s also some bitter chocolate. The flavor is on another level, with chocolate and fruits, as well as some coffee. Quite dry. Full to medium body, and a roasted finish with some chocolate and coffee. The nose was disappointing compared to the flavor, it is a quite good beer, but as mentioned, it needs a heavier, more evident aroma. (080301)

Draught at "Salone della Birra Artigianale 2008" - Milan.
Red color, much dark, nearly black, inscrutable and decidedly dense one. Compact clear head, much evanescent. Altogether elegant however. Toasted and braced taste of wood, malty and cask. Much lively and prickly taste. Bitter and solid final.

Thewolf tasting. Pours a deep mahogany with a beige head. Aroma of vere lovely chocolate. A mil flavour of chocolate and caramel, with a bit watery aftertaste.
