Low-fermented dark black beer.

The olfactory sensations remind of panna cotta, coffee and dark chocolate.

The mouthfeel is full-bodied, rounded, with a strong hint of oat enhancing the body.

The finish is slightly bitter, due to toasted malts.

Draught Huge beige head over jet-black beer. Sweet roast, roasted nuts but also raisins. Maillard seems unavoidable. Sweet, less roasty than the nose suggested. Bit mineral. Feels very light for its claimed 6.2% ABV. And that's its weak point, it somehow doesn't pack punch enough to convince.

Bottiglia. All'olfatto si esprimono sentori di liquirizia, caffè e cioccolato. L'olfatto viene stimolato in maniera elevata e il modo in cui permane è apprezzabile. Il cappello di schiuma resiste poco. La grandezza delle bollicine è a grana fine. Il colore è scuro impenetrabile. Il corpo è strutturato. Il dolce è medio in buon equilibrio con l'amaro medio. La forza gustativa è elevata e la durata è buona. Il gusto è piacevole. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di pronta beva. Il retrogusto è di decente intensità. Sul palato si fermano note di miele, crosta di pane, cioccolato, caffè, liquirizia, frutta secca e agrumi.

bottiglia 50 cl, bel cappello di schiuma cappuccino grana medio/fine persistente, colore marrone inteso/nero, al naso prevalgono le note di tostato/affumicato poi caffè cacao liquirizia, in bocca malto tostato/affumicato caffè liquirizia leggero frutta rossa, corpo medio, watery, carbonazione leggera, amaro moderato. Manca un po' di pienezza e di carattere. Nel complesso una buona birra. c. Festa Arti e Mestieri Maccagno 18.09.21

Somehwat hazy muddy looking porter. But here at Lambiczoon i don’t expect they mis-served it. Tastes good, but the body is amateur-esque in this pour.
