33cl bottle @ Niamey craft beer tasting, merci Richard. Brune foncée, col crémeux assez actif beige. Arôme au nez fin malté caramel et chocolaté, petite impression de toffee, houblonné perce en rétro et apporte un soupçon d'agrumes. Palais reste plus classique mettant en avant des notes de malts caramel, grillées, sucre caramélisé, amertume sur les agrumes avec un léger apport terreux le tout pouvant s’apparenter à une black ipa, mais l'effet malté un mélasse - type allemand accompagné du chocolat vient un peu diminuer l'effet général de la bière.

75cl bottle from Iperconad, Rimini, Italy. Pours hazy orange with small head of foam. Aroma is a nice citrus, with some fruity sweetness. Body is average with good carbonation. Taste is moderately sweet with delicate bitterness. Finish is average.

On tap. Hazy reddish brown colour, thin beige head. Aroma of caramel, figs, light floral notes, hint of hops. Flavour is sweet, light malty, caramel, figs and prunes, light floral, a bit watery at times, bitter finish. Light bodied. Bland, but certainly drinkable.

The Italian craft beer revolution was one of the earliest in the modern European craft beer wave and started off already in the nineties with imitations of traditional Belgian style ales; this is one such ‘old-fashioned’ example, a Belgian style dubbel brewed in Montepulciano (renowned for its wine) in Tuscany. Thick and creamy, papery lacing, pale greyish beige, slowly middle-opening head over a misty dark chestnut brown beer with wine red glow. Aroma of spiced bread, dried ginger, black peppercorns, toasted bread crust, nutmeg, fried bell pepper, toffee, cloves, black chocolate, pecan nuts, glue. Sweetish onset in a subdued way, some fig and apple peel, quite fizzy carbonation adding a dim sourish aspect, toasted bread crust- and toasted walnut-like malt body, caramelly at its edges but much less sweet and more dry toasty-bitterish than the average Belgian dubbel, with on top of that, a peppery, leafy hoppiness bringing more bitterness in the finish. Some spiciness of cloves and nutmeg accentuate this dry, peppery, even slightly astringent finish, with not very well hidden alcohol enhancing the astringent note. Spicy, bitter, dry interpretation of a dubbel and in that sense quite original.

Amber colour, firm white head. Hoppy aroma, quite fruity, USA hops, tropical fruit and candy. Bitter hoppy flavour, light malts. Hoppy finish.

Clear golden colour, firm white head. Crisp hoppy aroma, malts. Bitter hoppy flavour, crisp hoppy finish. Nice!

Golden colour with quick fading head. Aroma and flavour have a basic level of hop bitterness. Rather bland.

Dark blond colour with thin head. Aroma and flavour are rather grassy which I don't like.
