Strongly flavoured beer, a hint of cloves to it. Despite the high alcohol content I find it more drinkable than blond. Lovely stuff...

This is a splendid foreign beer. Not too heavy, a touch sweet. Some bitterness. Very pleasurable to drink. What we might call a barley wine. I simply cannot fault this drink. Cheerio!

Amber color, with a small beige head, with a yeasty, fruity nose, with a subtle wet oaky cherryish note, with some dried dark fruits, with some toast malts and spices, hint of candi sugar in the aroma follows through on a medium-bodied palate with a yeasty, malty, fruity character, with a toasty, caramelized malts, with a faint chocolatey note, with some oaky cherryish and fruity raisiny flavors, with an accent of nutmeg and coriander spiciness, in a warmth mouthfeel, leading towards a warm, malty, cherry-like liquor, hop bitterness finish.

Yeasty aroma, dirty amber and a fading head leaving laces. The flavour is spicy with notes of pepper, coriander and alcohol. Not fabulous, but oddly drinkable...

Bottiglia da 33cl al Corsaro Nero, versa rosso rubino intenso abbastanza scuro, con schiuma beige chiarissima. Aroma molto alcolico con note di amarena vaga, sapore dolcissimo come usuale per la linea, con però un etilico predominante che guasta un po’ e arriva subito in testa. Buon corpo, ma non certo la mia Leffe preferita.

33 cL bottle. Pours clear deep amber with a thick creamy light off-white head. Deep malty aroma and a lot of dried fruits. A minor spiced note too. Sweet caramel malty flavour with a lot of cane sugar. Nice balance giving a soft experience from start to finish. Finish is slight warming to burning. Nice by all measures.
