(I tasted Ghisa on draught two years ago on GBBF - now the bottle) Dark brown, nearly black; very dark brown-purple head, huge & tenacious. Undoubtedly smoked nose, tobacco, smoked wood, malt, lavender. Again smoked, taste, lots of tobacco & cigar ash. Slight acidity, malt is there, but not overmuch. Problem is that apart from the smokey flavour, not much else is going on. Not supported as the Bamberger Rauchbiere. Warming up some chocolate notes. Reasonably full bodied, warming. Well, it's definitely not Bamberger. Still, I like the style well enough. "Ghisa" is Milanese slang for a traffic policeman. They are daily smoked meat too, it seems.

2009-03-21, nitro-draught at the brewpub, 6-3-4-2-10=25
Black color; creamy head. Mixed aroma of roasted malt and chocolate. Lean body; there is some chocolate flavor, but overall it’s very watery, with light roasted malt, but otherwise empty. Simple final. Disappointing.
2003-10-20, draught at the brewpub, 5% ABV, 7-5-7-3-13=35
Black color; brown creamy head. Nice roasted malt aroma, coffee. Light body, nice roasted malt and a hint of smoke.
