UPDATED: AUG 30, 2020 Bottle. 2013 vintage. Opaque black liquid with small to medium tan head. Aroma of licorice, light peat, honey, light coffee, port wine and light toast. Taste is light sweet and light to medium bitter with notes of licorice, light coffee and honey. Full bodied with low to medium carbonation. Really nice, has aged very well.

UPDATED: JUN 26, 2020 It has been a while since I drank this beer but it is still on top of my memory! The Bracia poured black with thick and compact brown head that could carry a coin. Nose was aromatic coffee, roasted malts and chocolate. Aromas of roasted malts, dark chocolate, coffee, dark fruits, licorice, with a nice spicy note. Low carbonation, full body. Long spicy and roasty finish. Very long stay!

UPDATED: MAR 13, 2020 Bottle to snifter (thanks, Martin). Looks good; a lightly translucent very dark cola with beige head. Smells and tastes malty with notes of coffee, roast, chocolate, and hops. Mouthfeel is medium full-bodied and pleasantly bitter. Good beer.

UPDATED: JUN 30, 2019 Big and lasting Brown head. Very dark color. Rich and complex aroma. Full body and impression taste of roasted malt and chocolate with a small caramell sweetness. Good bitterness that balanced the body.

UPDATED: APR 17, 2019 Bottle 0,50L. Very dark brown color with small, creamy, light brown head. Aroma of cappuccino, milk chocolate, hazelnuts, liquorice, caramel and honey. Taste starts light sweet and turns to medium bitter with cappuccino and hazelnuts. It's very smooth, very rich and alcohol is very well hidden (at least in taste ;-) ). Full body, oily texture, soft carbonation, nice balance. Excellent beer!

UPDATED: MAR 31, 2019 Bottle - thanks Bob! Darker pour, rich, licorice, strong. Good beer, got a couple years on it, but still solid.

UPDATED: FEB 12, 2019 Bottle from The Bottle Lab, Leek. BB 03/18. Pours a deep brown colour with thin beige head.

Taste of chocolate, hazelnut, coffee, leather, some liquorice, honey, slight roasted malts, alcohol, dried fruits, peat and subtle wood. Full bodied and soft carbonation. A sweetish, roasted nut and chocolate bitterness in the finish. I don’t know what say, this is ridiculously complex. But imagine how much better it would be in date. Shame I forgot I had it.
