Jun 10, 2008 Updated: Jun 11, 2008Tap. Dark brown with little thick lasting head. Chocolate, cherries, some spiciness, a very good malty note mixed with a really nice earthiness hit gently the nose, inviting and balancing the whole. Explodes in a medium bodied silkiness, with a huge chocolate and cherries flavour, reminding a pastry specialty of the same region, Piedmont, that host that brilliant brewery. Long aftertaste, no traces of that 7%abv, flavourful and dangerous drinkable. Delicious brew.

Feb 1, 2008 A beautiful brown pour with rocky brown head. Sweet bubble gum, light green apple jolly rancher on the nose with an undercurrent of cocao. Well hidden alcohol in the body. Very sweet body with more of bubblegum flavor, dry cacao and definite carob. Smooth finish. A unique beer that was a treat to try and scores major points for being both tasty and one of the most original beers I’ve tried in some time.

May 6, 2008 Served in my Orval glass. Lovely carob nose. Silky, chocolately, roasty character. Dark carob–cocoa malts, with flowery hops. Notes of bubble gum, sour oak, and vanilla. Dry finish. Smooth, balanced, and delicious.

Dark brown colour, with an off-white head. Lots going on in aroma here. Up front is cocoa, then tar, bit of vanilla and some notes of whiskey. No coffee was sensed here. Flavour brings more coffee, it appears like green pepper. Edges of vanilla and whiskey. Bit alcohol shows off, but the thorough flavour profile, and the flavours stays long after, reminds me pretty much of Mikkeller Beer Geek Brekfast.

Oct 26, 2007 Very good yellowish-brown head over dark brown beer. Chocolate powder aroma, alcohol and very dry smelling. More chocolate in the taste; dry-bitterish, dark chocolate, some wheat flour flavour. A bit powdery MF, medium bodied, velvety, very pleasing. Strange but excellent tasting beer; the additions evident on the palate, pity about the powderiness.
