On tap @Luppolo Station (Rome). Nera, densa, impenetrabile, schiuma ecrù media, mediamente persistente. Al naso è molto intensa, note di malti tostati, cioccolato, vaniglia, alcol, legno. In bocca è dolce all'attacco, molto cioccolato, alcool, vaniglia, chiusura amara a bilanciare, rotonda, corposa, calda, avvolgente. Corpo pieno, carbonazione medio-leggera. Un capolavoro.
