COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Top fermented beer which is subjected to a secondary fermentation in bottle. It is deep dark ebony in color with a cappuccino head. The nose has aromas of chocolate, licorice, coffee grounds and tobacco with alcohol nuances. Its full bodied, long lasting, smooth and dry mouth is followed by a surprisingly hot finish that breaks its initial fullness and makes you crave more!
It is suitable for aging.
Dedicating one of our beers to Giuseppe Verdi was a must since our microbrewery is located in Roncole Verdi, the composer’s birth place. When I returned from my first visit to New York City I decided to create a beer that would be superior in elegance, balance and drinkability to all those stout varieties I had overseas. Although the initial recipe has changed, the very first batch matched my vision. Its uniqueness lays in the use of chili pepper which combines very well with the beer’s chocolate aroma. The hot finish also lightens its full bodied mouth by awakening the palate.
Verdi Imperial Stout is the first Italian craft beer to have ever been crowned with a gold medal in its category at an International beer contest. In 2008 it ranked first at The European Beer Star in the Imperial Stout category.

Dark brown beer with lot’s of very thick and sticky brown head, stays. Aroma is malt, coffee, alcohol, spices, chocolate. Taste is a bit sour, little sweet, malt, chocolate, lot’s of pepper. Aftertaste is hot chilly, coffee. Full body. Very interesting beer, though it is not a typical Imperial stout. Drinkable but that chilly aftertaste is very long.

Ron came over with this and it may have been my fave, we shall see what the numbers say. Very drinkable, very balanced. Lots of licorice in the nose. Taste is very roasty. Palate seems very balanced, taste is appealing and quenching. Appearance is spotty lacing with a swirling top head.
