Beer inspired by the Irish stouts. The roasting of the malts develops aromas of coffee and chocolate which are found in the taste together with a licorice finish.

At a tasting, big bubbly head, quite opaque dark brown colour, aroma of wood and coffee with some stale bread and cocoa, flavour of coffee and dirt with hints of smoke and charred wood., very dry, medium bodied. Nice and easy, just a little too old.

Dark opaque brown/dark ruby coor, small beige head. Coffeish, black malt aroma. Light-bodied. Toasted malty, tobacco-ash in the flavor. Quite weak and watery, not a suprise for 4.2% beer. No faults but not much use for this beer.

27/05/2013 Bir&Fud (handpump). Nera, intensa, quasi impenetrabile, schiuma bianco sporca abbondante e incredibilmente persistente. Al naso è una stout delicata dal tocco british, tostato morbido, leggero fruttato, una punta di mela verde (acetaldeide?). In bocca è modesta, watery e un po’ priva di personalità, il tostato rimane parecchio in ombra, unica nota positiva la ottima beva. Corpo leggero, carbonazione soft. Mediocre.

Bottle in Rome. Opaque black beer, tidy pale tan head. Light dry palate. Dark malt, no roast. Just a little bitter. Mild lactose. Mild minerals and apologetic orangey hops. Dry finish. Meh!
