About

7.6/10 — Appearance 10 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 5.5
Bottiglia. Il gusto al naso resta attratto da cioccolato, tabacco e sottobosco. L'intensità olfattiva è molto elevata ed elegante e la maniera in cui permane è pregevole. Il mantello birroso superiore è caratterizzato da una schiuma color marrone castagno ed è destinata a vita breve. Il colore è scuro impenetrabile. Il corpo è strutturato. L'amaro è nella media. La forza gustativa è elevata e la durata è buona. Il gusto è piacevolissimo. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di birra beverina. Il retrogusto è intenso. In bocca l'aroma è quello di miele, frutta secca, agrumi e frutta passita.
