6.6/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 6.5 Texture 7 Overall 6.5

500ml bottle from the brewery, drunk in Sinalunga. Pours a hazed gold, medium sized white head. Crisp bitter introduction, not too much crystal malt, more of the Maris otter, dry bitter hop close. Nice but too hazy, perhaps a little yeast.. doesn't quite compare to its English equivalents.

330ml bottle from a Carrefour Local in Florence, drunk in Sinalunga. Pours a murky cloudy golden orange, thin white head. Fits a classic IPA mould, with a strong bitterness, some edgey crystal malt. Fine overall.

Das Schwarze from Brasseria della Fonte

7.9/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 7.5

500ml bottle from the brewery, drunk at our apartment in Sinalunga, Tuscany. Pours a very dark brown with handsome glass-filling off-white head. Delivers brown ale vibes rather than a roasty, black, light-bodied schwarz. It's a lovely beer, a solid malty brown, medium to full bodied, just not hitting the schwarz style for me.
