Tap tasted on 05/07/2014. Black opaque colour with a consistent white to beige head. Aroma is very rich in roast malts and coffee. Taste is light sweet with notes of coffee and bitter dark chocolate. Very drinkable beer and well balanced. Next one please!

Draft @ Fiera della birra di Forli ’14. Un peu dur de comprendre les scores ci-dessous. En tout cas, cette bière m’a franchement impressionné ou alors c’est peut être le fait que sur le festival il y avait très peu de bières foncées. De couleur acajou-brune au col crémeux et voluptueux café au lait. Arôme offre un bouquet immense de chocolat au lait et d’un chocolaté profond et persistant, le tout est balancé par une amertume houblonnée qui vient rajouter un amérisant d’agrumes qui est complexe tout en soulignant le côté malté en juxtaposition. Palais offre une complexité malté qui met à profit le grillé et un léger torréfié avec ici aussi un élément lactose qui offre une certaine douceur. Amertume est parfaite et donne office de qcq notes d’agrumes ponctué d’un léger herbacé. Petite pointe épicée arrive en fin de bouche rappelant le Cascade?

6.5% ABV (according to the beer menu): draught in Open Baladin, Rome on 10th Dec 2013 during a mini-session. Pours a really dark brown (the bar isn’t bright, so difficult to get the true colours): on top a lightly tanned foaming cover. The nose and taste were dominated by the over roasted malts which gave an almost burnt feel to everything. Dark, dark bitter chocolate and old ground coffee mush were the two main flavours I obtained from this fairly interesting and yet almost one dimensional brew. I liked it’s simplicity and honesty: my second ever ’Italian Craft Beer’, I am enjoying myself!
