Il Giardino della Birra - Conte Jack

Brewed by Il Giardino della Birra
Style: Dunkler Bock
Milan, Italy

Draught at the brewpub. Strangely herbal aroma, a bit like cleaning fluid. Hazy dark brown colour, red shine. Stable light brown head. The flavour is quite dry, I am beginning to think they do high gravity brewing or use champagne yeast... Good roasted notes, though. A little roasted coffee and cream in the finish. Could have been nice with a little maltiness. Does not really taste stronger than many other beers.

Draught @ Brewery tap, Giardino della Birra, Lambrate, Milan, Italy. Hazy medium amber color with a average, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, beige head. Aroma is moderate malty, toasted, caramel, toffee, fruity, flowers. Flavor is moderate sweet and light light bitter with a average duration. Body is medium, texture is oily to watery, carbonation is soft. (071107)

Delicate cloudy brown colour. Firm 1-inch collar. Earthy, leafy nose with black tea, root, darker toastiness, slightly fruity and almost roasty notes. Well assembled malts in general, giving a caramel kiss in the finish, almost butterscotchy and I find it excellent in this case. Medium to round body. Pretty good.

Beautiful hazy amber color; the head quickly disappears. Strange aromas: glue, yeast, esters, candi sugar, very light banana. Quite good malty body, a bit yeasty and homebrewer style, with a sweet-caramel finish.
