"Zinnebir X-Mas? No, WINTER MESS!

The name has changed, not the recipe! Our winter beer is back, with her caramel and chocolate flavours, the creamy foam, her fruity nuances, and her dry and bitter finish."

Farmy aroma like a dusty old barnyard. Pours dark brown with decent head. Bitter finish. Some alcohol and molasses but not sweet. Whiskey barrel booze. Not my favorite. Tap at Sovereign.

330ml bottle @Buskers Pub (Rome). Bruna, intensa, schiuma beige media, non molto persistente. Al naso sentori di caramello, frutta secca, anice, spezie, alcol. In bocca è dolce con finale bilanciato da un discreto amaro, rotonda e appagante. Corpo medio-alto, carbonazione medio-leggera. Ottima!
