May 10, 2007 Bottle 0.33L.
Brown body with a large, creamy, light-brown head; mostly lasting with a good lacing.
Moderate-to-heavy malty aroma (bread, caramel) with a light-to-moderate hoppy character; notes of plum and maybe toffee; light hints of alcohol and spices.
Moderate-to-heavy sweet flavour with a bit lighter bitter note.
Light-to-medium body with a watery texture, soft carbonation; light alcoholic feeling in the finish.
Not a wonderful beer (the experts say that it was better before Heineken bought the brewery...) but quite satisfactory and easy to find (at least in Italy).

May 7, 2007 Pours dark, dark, dark...like urine from a marathon runner with Rhabdomyolysis, or some poor bastard passing a large kidney stone. Has a nose of burnt malt with notes of roof rat urine. The burnt malt taste made me entertain thoughts of projectile vomiting. I love Italy, love Italians (especially their women), love their culture, but I hate this beer. After two swallows, relegated the remainder to the sewers of Monterey County.

Apr 24, 2007 Pours copper with little head. Aroma is nutty caramel. Flavor is pretty good malty, nutty and caramel. THen BAM!!! Nothing. No finish or aftertaste. It was just gone. One of the most unbalanced beers I have tried. An even 2.5 rating for half a beer.

Apr 11, 2007 Malts are prominent and sweet, with a bit of vanilla and caramel. Alcohol is subdued. Hops are there, but only in the background. Not bad, but nothing stands out about it. Decent choice at an Italian restaurant if you dont want a pale lager.
