7.4/10
A classic imperial stout, at the low end of everything. More like a bigger regular stout. But if ramped up another 4% would be superb. But it is great for that middle of the road stout they are going for. Dry, bitter, creamy balance with the roast. Elav Bergamo airport

Far too hoppy and bitter for a red ale. It is basically an ipa. Still a bit unbalanced and not super clean, a bit hazy red. Bottle at elav bergamo airport

Just a sipper at Elav bergamo airport. It is a modern hopped up version. Bitter first pilsner malt next.

Has a nice rounded body. Not a lot of belgian bubblegum yeast derived phenols. A probably suffering from first pour of the day at Elav bergamo airport, tastes a bit bad taplined

Nothing like a good german. Thin and lacking the banana/clove phenols. Elav bergamo airport

Sold as “black pepper ale”. Not a super clean bitterness that’s not so wonderfully balanced by a top notch crisp roasty character, the peppery is subtle but not substitute for a good roast. Elev bergamo airport

Good for the style. It is a clean strong bitterness. Amber clear good looking beer, but not balanced enough for me. Elav bergamo airport

Bottle. Pours a dark yellow, nice head with decent retention. Aroma is mild and malty. Somewhat spicy and a bit fruity. Medium body. Flavour is malty with some caramel, quite spicy and herbal. Medium sweet. Some grapefruit, pine and herbal flavours. Quite nice, very mild.
