500ml bottle. Pitch black colour with slightly late awakening, small, frothy, fading, brown head. Sweet-ish, fruity and chocolately, dark malty aroma, notes of strawberry, some vanilla, milk chocolate; reminds of ice cream traded under the name Fürst Pückler in Germany. Taste is sweet, fruity, dark malty, initial notes of strawberry, vanilla, milk chocolate are supplemented by notes of coffee, hints of dark chocolate, a touch of cherry, caramel; lingering, fruity and chocolately finish. Oily to viscous texture, smooth and soft, creamy, minimally cloying palate, fine, soft carbonation with minimally prickly portion. Very fruity with natural and artificial shares, quite sweet, but matching with the idea of Neapolitan Ice Cream. Again a beer you are not surprised to find if you have some experience with Craft Beer and especially Pastry Impy Stouts - but also a beer that is appropriate to become melancholic. If you grew up with Pilsener or Bitter or another classical style, you might think about your expectations what a real beer is and what not - without judgement: Where are we going to? It is fascinating what brewers make possible. But do we need liquid Neapolitan Ice Cream if we can have real ice cream instead? If I want to have a beer for knocking-off time I want something different. Better quality is highly welcome. All this freaky stuff is quite esoteric. Understand me right: We could adapt our drinking habits as well.
