Bottle courtesy of Marko who left this with me following a tasting back in February. Consumed at home Wednesday 30th April 2025, we had the now amazing and legendary 😍 Nidi di Tagliatelle al forno (baked pasta nests) again tonight after a hard few hours of mowing the garden. Listening to Snapped Ankles - Hard Times Furious Dancing. Pours oily black with a light tan head, the nose is dried Christmas cake fruits, so currants, raisins, sultanas and prunes that sort of thing but a little booze also. Similar in the flavour department but with a noticeable tang. Smooth mouthfeel, it's a touch tannic, a little rough around the edges but this also gives it a bit of edginess, a bit of character. There's some oakiness, wet wood, light roasty bitterness. Ok it's not polished or refined it's a little bruiser, it's not an huge throw everything at it Imperial Stout it's more simple than that but it does what it does pretty well.

Definitely not that good. Just a middling shot at the style. Drinkable but notto to buy over and over. Tap B Split

Not that great for an easy to make style. Harsh puckering bitterness and no balance. Tab B Split
