scura buona schiuma sentori torrefatti buon corpo nel finale sapore di cappuccino

Draft... Dark, hazy, caramel-colored ale with a large, frothy, light brown head. Good retention. The aroma is a candy swirl of toffee, milk chocolate, dark raisins and brandy cordials. Sweet, fruity, malty flavor with good bittering by aged hops. Medium-bodied and astringent with lively carbonation. Lightly sweet finish. I’m a fan!

33cL. Decent bier with a nice appearance but a slightly thin flavor and finish.

light orange brown and small tan head. light slightly creamy, watery body. caramel, raisins and bitter orange nose with a little spice and yeast. bitter orange comes flavor comes first, followed by undertones or toffee, dark fruits, and a real light nutty earthiness. well balanced and very light drinking

33 cL bottle. Pours hazy brown/reddish with a huge crispy and light brown head. Caramel malty sweet with mild yeasty spice notes. Thick raisin flavour. Spiced. Sweet. Fruity. Malty finish.

Nose of dark sweet malts, chocolate cake, wet flowerbed. Dark cloudy brown, tan head that vanishes, leaving tan lace as thick as paint on the sides of the glass. Taste of chocolate, espresso, and dark roasted malts. Dry nutty finish ... hazelnuts ... and dry nutty mouthfeel. I worked in some well deserved bonus points as a low alcohol Belgian ... sort of Westvleteren lite.

Pours a dark amber, translucent to opaque, with a slightly off-white head. Aroma is spicy to malty, and flavor is typical brown ale with a little fruit thrown in for good measure. Good, solid beer.

Murky brown with a huge white head. The nose is full of sweet fruit and toast. The flavor is sweet with estery goodness and the finish is dry. Great ale.
