Le brun cuivré éclatant de sa robe est le préambule d’un univers de douceur et de rondeur. Le nez malté, légèrement fruité, concorde parfaitement avec un goût orienté vers des saveurs « caramel ». Soutenue à tous niveaux, elle reste très équilibrée. Une très légère note de torréfaction nous surprend toutefois en fin de bouche. Première bière produite par la brasserie, sa rondeur rappelle le plaisir et nous invite à passer un moment simple de dégustation.

Draught at Birratrovo, Como
Dark red-chestnut color, with creamy head. Mild aroma of dark malts, very light sourness and ashes.
Caramelized malts, moderate residual sweetness, a bit too much ashes that increase the bitterness. Unbalanced; crossover Belgian Ale and Stout.

This micro brewery in the southernmost part of the country has undergone remarkable innovations in their range since 2012, and this is one of them, though it seems to be still the same beer as Sainte-Hélène Blonde. Yellowish white, moussy, opening head and dark bronze colour, misty. Aroma of fondant, coffee grounds, pear, honey, kahlua, candied orange, pepper; taste citrussy in onset with sharpish spicy notes, gingerbread and apple, multi-layered and agreeable maltiness (nuts, caramel, chocolate), granular mouthfeel, finishing with toasted bitterness, peppery hops and warming gin-like alcohol which ends up a little bit astringent - a slight disappointment for something that started off good.
