Taster showing pitch black and sparse latte colored foam.

The nose shows moderately intense notes of biscuit and chocolate.

The palate is lightly carbonated and full bodied. Moderately sweet with a chocolate cake forwardness and hints of espresso.

On tap @Ma che siete venuti a fร  (Rome). Nera, densa, impenetrabile, schiuma media color cappucino. Al naso note di cioccolata, vaniglia, botte, leggero caffรจ. In bocca รจ dolce, calda, cremosa, note di cioccolato e vaniglia, con chiusura amara leggera, alcol nascosto. Corpo pieno, smooth al palato, carbonazione medio-leggera. Birra splendida, da meditazione.
