Black Lullaby is a rich and soft Belgian dark strong ale. From the color of a very dark tunic of friar, tending to black, it has a rich and creamy beige foam, with good persistence. The nose reveals notes of caramel, biscuit, dried fruit and chocolate, and fruity notes of apple, pear and banana. In the mouth it surprises for the softness and aromas of vanilla and cocoa, followed by coffee and ripe fruit. It has a medium-low carbonation and is characterized by great cleanliness, Black Lullaby has an alcoholic body, which is highlighted with increasing temperature.

Bottiglia. Il gusto al naso resta attratto dall'orzo tostato. L'olfatto viene stimolato in maniera normale, permanendo in maniera sufficiente. Il cappello di schiuma resiste poco. La grandezza delle bollicine è a grana fine. Il colore è scuro impenetrabile. Il corpo è pieno. L'amaro è nella media. La forza gustativa è elevata e la persistenza è buona. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di birra beverina. Il retrogusto è di recente intensità sulla lingua si fermano note di miele, cioccolato, frutta secca, agrumi, erbe aromatiche, frutta disidratata, chiodi di garofano, liquirizia e vaniglia.

Tap at FOB, Rimini, Italy. Pours dark brown, with some red reflections, and very fine cream foam, moderate in size. Aroma is of caramel, burnt, molasses. Body is average, with weak carbonation. Taste is fairly sweet, even with a nice longish final.
