Commercial Description:
Colour: black with a brown head. Taste; intensive. Beautiful persistant head that looks like cappuccino. The aroma is of caramel and rhubarb, and it feels the print of English hops. It's a beer for meditation, drink calmly. While it settles in the glass you will discover an intriguing aroma that will remind you of brandy. On the tongue it leaves a taste of liquorice, panna cotta, Irish coffee and bitter cocoa notes. It's "dangerously drinkable".

Very dark beer with a beige head that seems to remain for ever. A lot of sweet malty aromas. The same in the taste. No sourness of burned malts at all. Also no signs of any bitterness. Full bodied and sticky mouthfeel.

<i>Bottled</i> (BB 01/2008)<br /> Dark ruby brown, small beige head. Barnyardish, lightly chocolaty aroma. Medium-bodied. Reasonably clean coffeish and roasted flavor, although there is some barnyardish notes. Smooth palate. Harmless but also a bit characterless. For being Italian, it is ok.

An unclear brown beer with a huge brown head. The aroma is sweet malty with a slight acidic tinge. The flavor is sweet malty with light notes of chocolate, leading to a slightly burnt aftertaste.
