| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Sep 24, 2007 50cl comprata a Cheese 2007; aspetto perfetto, in un bicchiere da pils; colore marrone scuro scuro con schiuma beige chiara, abbondante. Perlage vistoso. Aroma caffè e nocciola; sapore liquerizia, nocciola, caffè, uno sbruciacchiato che si evolve lentamente nell’amaro dei luppoli (ben luppolata! si merita l’appellativo di "pils nera"). I malti sono gli stessi della loro straordinaria dunkelweizen, le parentele sono evidentissime; ma ovviamente questa è a bassa fermentazione e con una buona manata di luppolo. Ottima.
