Non vedevamo l’ora dell’autunno per svelarvi questa birra che vi accompagnerà nei tenebrosi e cupi giorni di Novembre, in attesa dell’inverno. È appena uscita dal letargo a temperature artiche ed è pronta per colmare i vostri boccali. PROFANATOR, è una German Doppelbock che abbiamo tenuto in lagerizzazione per un lungo periodo per ammorbidire ed arrotondare i suoi dolci toni, prodotta con malti tedeschi quali due tipi di Munich, Pilsner, Melanoidin, Caramunich e Pale Chocolate, luppolo Perle e lievito tedesco.

6/VII/25 - on tap @ DOT Birreria Indipendente (Torino, IT), BB: n/a (2025-637)
Clear dark amber to reddish maroon brown beer, creamy aery irregular beige head, unstable, falls down quickly. Aroma: very very malty, hay, cow fodder, wet grains, some caramel, pretty roasted, coffee, touch of cocoa powder, some roasted chestnuts. MF: soft carbon, medium body. Taste: very malty, grains, hay, cow fodder, sweet, caramel, some chocolate, gentle roast, more malts. Aftertaste: soft acidity, fruity, some dried fruits, dates and figs, more caramel, milk chocolate, pretty sweet malty backbone, bitter touch in the finish. Not my preferred style, but I like the complexity of the beer.

Pours dark red, very slightly murky. Doesn't get much head and it disappears quite quickly, leaving almost no lacing. Good enough intensity in the aroma: malty as obvious with caramel and nuttiness taking the main stage, plus notes of chocolate and hints of fruitiness (red fruits). Taste shows a bit more hop character: malty notes as per aroma, with caramel taking the main stage; a herbal/flowery hops hint gets a bit more vivid in the a slightly astringent finish/aftertaste. Overall on the sweet side in the mouth with a slight bitter edge in the finish (maybe a tad more sweet/bitter contrast than i'd like). Medium to dense bodied with quite light carbonation, feels slightly full in the mouth but still pretty smooth. Not fully convinced by this interpretation, but still an enjoyable drink.
