33cl bottle from a mini market in Rome. Pours dark, dark mahogany coloured with a fairly modest, beige head. The dark aromas are dominating; coffee, cocoa, licorice and dark fruits. Some citrus too, but the hops are mainly noticeable in the bitterness. In the end quite pleasant and enjoyable.

Surprisingly enough. Black pour with a fine tan head. Good lacing. Fine intensity in the aroma. Roast and licorice. Fine carbonation level and bit dry ending. Easy drinkable. Coffee, lots of licorice and roast. Also grapefruit hoppy but it is quite well hidden in the licorice heaven. Not a black ipa in my world.

Il gusto al viene attratto da orzo tostato, caffè e cioccolato. L'olfatto viene sollecitato in maniera elevata e la maniera in cui permane è apprezzabile. Il cappello di schiuma color marrone castagno resiste poco. La grandezza delle bollicine è a grana fine. Bollicine fini costituiscono la forma del perlage. Il colore è scuro impenetrabile. L'amaro è medio. L'intensità gustativa è normale e la continuità è sufficiente. Sul tetto della bocca finiscono sentori di miele, caffè, liquirizia, frutta secca, pane tostato, luppolo, agrumi, pompelmo rosa, caldo e alcol presente.

Bottle. Dark brown color with beige head. Aroma is liquorice, earthy, chocolate. Taste is the same, very heavy on the liquorice. Oily mouthfeel with medium carbonation. Funny!
