Can @Luppolo Station (Rome). Nera, densa, impenetrabile, schiuma color cappuccino leggera, non molto persistente. Al naso leggero etilico, quando si scalda tira fuori note di botte fantastiche, legno, vaniglia, cioccolato, caffè. In bocca è equilibrata in maniera magistrale, attacco abboccato con note di cioccolato, cocco, e chiusura amara, caffettosa leggera. Corpo pieno, oleosa al palato, carbonazione medio-leggera. Straordinaria, un capolavoro.

On tap @Luppolo Station (Rome). Nera, densa, impenetrabile, schiuma color cappuccino, non molto persistente. Al naso note di cacao, cannella, peperone, cocco, sciroppo d'acero. In bocca è equilibrata, attacco abboccato con chiusura leggermente amara, ma un po' "too much" per me. Corpo pieno, carbonazione medio-leggera. Si beve, ma stanca.

Long time apart in reviews for this one it appears. The label has changed as has the abv as my can shows 9.3% and a born-on date of 12 Nov 25. A Buffalo Bayou snifter ready, I make the pour. I see a dark caramel brown liquid with a wispy but steady skim of light tan-silver foam. The smell is quite malty with dark fruit and bread. I take a drink and call it decent. Hops, red plums, grain and a touch of toffee. I find the hoppiness somewhat dominating, not a feature I care for in a barleywine.

Head is medium, white, good retention. Colour is shiny gold, hazy. Very nice aroma for the style, citrus, pineapple and tropical fruits. Taste is full malty base, a lot of citrus, tropical fruits, nice balanced harmonic bitterness, medium carbonation, very good for the style, enjoyed for sure.
