On tap @Birrifugio Trastevere (Rome). Bruna intensa, schiuma beige media. Al naso cioccolata, caffè, leggera liquirizia. In bocca non è molto equilibrata, e anche un po' spigolosa, caffè, cioccolata. Corpo medio-leggero, carbonazione soft. Non un granché.

(Draught at In De Wildeman, Amsterdam, 16 Feb 2024) Black colour with frothy, beige head. Malty, roasted nose with notes of coffee, dark chocolate, liquorice and black bread. Malty, roasted taste with coffee, dark chocolate, liquorice, black rye bread and a balanced roasty bitterness. Medium body, quite dry. Well made and highly drinkable stout. Very nice.
