birra nera con schiuma cappuccino di medio bassa consistenza.Ad occhi chiusi olfattivamente si potrebbe scambiare questa birra tranquillamente con un vino barricato di ottima qualità!in bocca è corposa ed oleosa e conferma le impressioni olfattive con un gusto vinoso e legnoso che domina sul carattere da imperial stout!una volta mandata giu ritorna il gusto di liquirizia originale della versione non barricata!una birra fantastica,il gusto legnoso e acidulo è molto coprente, ma rende questa birra incredibilmente piu leggera e liscia rispetto alla imperial "normale",per ciò non lo reputo un difetto ma una alchimia perfetta!

Another great and particular brew for this top microbrewery! Again a beer of course very similar to the normal Imperial, but with the taste of the ageing, of oak and vinous. Really, a particular imperial stout. I prefer the original version, but this is another "MUST TO TRY" in my opinion. I can’t understand a person that doesn’t like this "imperial". Try and you’ll spend a good hour!

La versione barricata sembra conferire maggiore struttura e complessità aromatiche e gustative, con leggere ma interessanti note legnose. Mi pare meglio riuscita rispetto alla Extra brune barricata

Thanks Gene! Very dark brown, thin cream ring for a head. Nose is heavy roasted malt, light milk chocolate. Flavor is equally sweet, more chocolate, roasted malt, and caramel in the short, roasty finish.
