Apr 28, 2008 33 cl...poured a rich copper-brown w/ a fluffy off-white head. Head stuck around for a bit, but not much lacing. Aroma of caramel and malts. Flavor was smoooooth as silk and featured malts, caramel, and a touch of hop bitterness. Very oily..coats the palate w/ that sweet caramel taste then has a nice bitter finish. Very solid and better than I expected.

Apr 20, 2008 Bottle- at Scapa. Dark brown, ruby red. Heavy, heavy malt nose and taste. Very sweet, with a bit of burnt bitterness at the end to keep it sane. Just a bit too sweet though.

Apr 19, 2008 Updated: May 9, 2008Disappointing aroma, faint straw. Ruby red hue, tight tan head, low carbonation. Initial flavour of robust caramel and malt, long roasted malt finish with a hint of coffee, A pleasant oily on palate. Want more!

Apr 13, 2008 I didn’t care for this beer at all. in fact I thought it was just plain bad. I am very surprised by the relatively high rating this beer recieved. Two thumbs down.

Apr 10, 2008 An interesting beer to try, much different than the other Italian beer I’ve sampled. This one pours a brown color, pretty good tan head but it diminishes to almost nothing about halfway through the beer. My first thought was that the aroma was like wine, suppose that makes sense since it’s Italian for one, and it has a relatively high abv (7.2). Malty, sugary sweet, spicy and pretty sour. There’s no hiding the alcohol in this one, as a matter of fact I’d use "alcohol" to describe some of the taste. I did enjoy this one, it is quite warming although the alcohol/sour flavor makes it mediocre.

Apr 8, 2008 A good buy from the grocery store. 7.99 six pack was well worth it. Pleasant and warm dark malt aroma with notes of mild coffee and caramel. Smooth to drink and a nice 7.2 ABV is well disguised by the flavor.

Mar 28, 2008 Pour is a deep mahogany red with a puffy but quickly disappearing light brown head. The nose is sweet, syrupy malts. The mouthfeel has a little carbonation, and is medium bodied. The taste is sweet almost like a light barley wine. Finish is a sweet alcohol.

Mar 25, 2008 Fairly light colored (almost a dark salmon tone)for a dunkler bock, with little lacing on the small head. Aroma of almonds, malts & alcohol. Very prickly. Flavor quite pleasantly sweet (turbinado sugar) and malty, with some faint bubblegum esthers. Some slight burning. Mild bitterness clearly overwhelmed by the other flavors.
