22nd November 2011
Opaque black beer, tidy tan head. Semi dry palate, crispy. Dark malt, roasty. Not a lot of hop here. Finishes semi dry with a bitter roast malt aftertaste. One dimensional, needs something to balance all the roast malt.

15/12/2012 Ma che siete venuti a fà (handpump). Bevuta a Birre Sotto l’Albero. Nera, impenetrabile, schiuma beige molto abbondante e persistente. Al naso sentori di caffé, cioccolato nero fondente, luppolo, leggera liquirizia. In bocca malti tostati, cioccolato, caffé, discretamente lunga e intensa, appagante e ben fatta. Corpo medio-leggero, carbonazione soft. Non male come stout.
