(Thx! for sharing) Sampled draft @ Italian BEER Week-End #5. Black, solid thick mocha head, pretty big head. Nose is foremost strangely soap, herbal, licorice, roast, sweet soap. Taste is strangely herbal, leaves, sweet soap again, sugar, herbal, mocha,… Sweet, messy, strange & soap note bothers me,… Bit too herbal & licorice forward.

(Thx! for sharing!) Sampled draft @ Italian BEER Week-End #5. Pale hazy citrus, lacing white head. Nose makes me a think a bit more of a pale lager than a kolsch, it is quite better than the average pale lager, there is quite a bit of hop, vegetable notes are a bit covered by some sweetness. Taste is luckily much better, vegetable note is barely there, low grain, hay, it is quite hoppy, European hops, flowers, light grass, sweet flowers, lightly doughy,… Thicker lager body, lingering grass finish. Drinks quite well, hops are enjoyable, smell is not optimal but it is pretty fun to drink. Good hops, dry, malty. Debatable how on style this is but it is quite enjoyable. Neat.

Draft @ Barborteur Beerdays #1, 14.5.2016. Censée être brassée avec du riz italien et des noix. Couleur noire au col brun foncée le tout laissant un léger doré au verre. Arôme est assez puissant au niveau des malts, retrouve de belles notes de grillé, rétro caramel avec presque une sensation de mélasse. Je retrouve un rétro grains assez sympa augurant bien l’usage de riz par contre, je note peu en terme d’effluves de noix, la bière étant peut être trop froide. Palais est épais malt chocolaté, grillé, caramel, le côté riz est bien là et apporte une certaine épaisseur en bouche. Le tout penche même vers un léger huileux avec des notes de toffee en retrait. Le profil noisette y est également pauvre mais balancé par les quasi 9% qui se font bien sentir.

Bottle at Birrivico, Como
Black color, frothy beige head. Mild aroma of roasted malt. Good body strength, yet the mouthfeel is lean, moderately sweet; nice roasted malt flavor, with a touch of coffee and dark chocolate; correct bitterness, a bit less than a Black IPA, although it’s also a bit resiny.
Solid beer, very good.

Draught @ Lambiczoon, Milan. Pours amber with an offwhite head. Aroma of malt, caramel, little coffee, grass. Flavor is light sweet, malt, caramel, coffee, wood, some grassy hops. Medium body, average carbonation. 121215
