Bottiglia. Il gusto al naso propende per liquirizia, orzo tostato, cioccolato e affumicato. L'olfatto viene stimolato in maniera elevata e la maniera in cui permane è apprezzabile. Il mantello birroso superiore è caratterizzato da una schiuma che resiste poco. La grandezza delle bollicine è media. Il colore è come l'inchiostro nero. Il corpo è rotondo. L'amaro è non invasivo. La forza gustativa è elevata. La continuità gustativa è buona. Il gusto è piacevole. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di pronta beva. Il retrogusto è intenso. Sul tetto della bocca si fermano impressioni di miele, cioccolato, liquirizia, frutta secca, agrumi e mandorla fresca.

Dec. ’16. On tap at Birra+, Rome. It poured a dark, almost black body with medium sized brown head. Aroma of dark fruits, coffee and chocolate, very smooth. Flavor was lightly bitter roasted, with coffee and licorice, light cooked dark fruits and a bit of chocolate, smoothing it like the aroma. Medium bodied. An elegant note of blackberries in the finish (yeah they're indeed here, now I see), along with the coffee, chocolate and light peat. Pretty pleasant porter.

Bottiglia. Colore nero con una schiuma grossolana e poco persistente, aroma di malto tostato, caffè e frutta, al palato non ha un corpo pesante e scende giù molto facile, le more si fanno sentire sopratutto nel finale. Bevibilità facile. Birra interessante.
