473ml can. Jet black colour with minimally late awakening, small to average, frothy to creamy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, brown head. Relatively cautious, sweet-ish, slightly roasty, dark malty and slightly caramel malty, minimally spicy aroma, notes of dark chocolate, dark caramel, vanilla, hints of coffee, cocoa, weak fruity and spicy overtones with a touch of blueberry, cinnamon, cherry, nuts, toffee. Taste is sweet-ish, chocolately, dark malty, fruity and slightly alcoholic, minimally spicy, notes of vanilla, cocoa, dark chocolate, some toffee, blueberry, honey, cherry, plum wine; warming, alcoholic finish. Viscous texture, smooth, soft and silky palate, very fine, dense, soft carbonation. Rich and intense, complex, maybe a tad too boozy - pretty good.

Can. Black pour with a tuck brownish foam. Nose: chocolate, cocoa, spirit. Mouth: some bitterness rather appreciated in a pastry stout. Cherry liquor.

Bottle @Luppolo Station (Rome). Nera, densa, impenetrabile, schiuma colore cappuccino medio-leggera. Al naso note di cioccolato fondente, vaniglia, caffè, leggera salsa di soia. In bocca è abboccata, con sentori di cioccolato, lattosio, la chiusura amara la rende equilibrata. Corpo pieno, carbonazione medio-leggera. Alla lunga stucca un po', perché risulta leggermente pesante. Ma il bilanciamento sull'amaro è molto apprezzato.

Roast, vanilla, coffee. Oily consistency. Black pour with decent head. A little booze. Good balance, sweet but not too sweet. Mostly bitter on finish. Can.
