Draft at FOB, Rimini, Italy. Pours black with persistent cappuccino foam, very fine. Aroma is hazelnut, chocolate, figs. Body is fantastically velvety, though with a nice tickling carbonation. Taste is moderately sweet and bitter, with some smoked feeling and a toasted character. Finish is long and toasted.

Bottle. Color is close to black, coffee foam. Aroma: dark and roasted malts, smoked meat and cheese, a little whisky, prunes, caramel, light touch of chocolate. Taste: dark malts, caramel sweetness is replaced by hop bitterness, herbaceous and pine, moderate smoked bacon, Scotch whisky, smoked prunes, cigars ash. Pleasant one.

330mL bottle, best before 3 years ago ("thanks" Alex), pours black with a small brown head. Aroma brings out soy sauce, oxidation and more soy sauce. Flavour is loaded with soy sauce, very subdued smoke, and a little dry cocoa. Clearly oxidized, with too much soy sauce, but you can detect a very pleasant beer that once was. Not bad for such an old beer.
