Sample at the Eurostash II tasting on 12/12/09: This brew pours a murky brown color with a medium tan head that dissipates steadily. Rings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of chocolate malt and dark fruit. Medium, smooth body with flavors of chocolate, malt, raisins and mild spices. The finish is fruity and malty with a lingering rich malt aftertaste. Pretty good overall.

Bottle, 75cl, courtesy of Dedollewaitor. It pours an almost clear, orange-golden body under a small, off-white head. Quite weak on the nose, with raisins and peaches the most evident aromas. Slightly sourish flavor with some caramel. Tropical fruits and sweetness as well. Medium body. Warming finish with fruits and some bitterness. Initially a rather boring and uninteresting, but it soon gets quite interesting. 090822

Hazy brown with a smal off-white head. Vineous dried fruit aroma with nuts, chocolate and cherries. Dry but rich and complex flavour with licorice and figs and a little dark chocolate.

Bottled 330ml. -Courtesy of and shared with Doggythedog/heavy (thanks!)
Pale brown coloured, small (almost no) off-white head, malty alcoholic nose. Slight roasted malt, caramel and jam like dried fruits with notes of chocolate and alcohol. Touch of tiramisu in sweet malty finish. Nice brew.

1/11 0.33 l bottle from Beer8 shop, Genoa. It poured darker brown, murky body with tiny brownish head. Very nice aroma of caramel with dark fruits like plums. Slightly alcoholic as well. Similar, but slightly more complex flavor, now it adds some chocolate, herbal spices and some different fruitiness. Creamy soft mouthfeel. Full bodied with long, sweetish and warming finish. Not too complex as these might happen to be, but it’s very pleasant brew and definitely the best Italian sample I’ve tried so far. I’m sorry we didn’t take more beers from this brewery.
