Hey! Overpriced Italian beer! Poured out a deep mahogany with a mid brown, bubbly cap with light, slippery fading lacing and lots of sediment. The aroma is quite varied and interesting: raw mixed nuts, those dehydrated orange fruit cubes in some trail mixes, well placed ginger, slight pineapple, good roasted malts, weak alcohol, decent spice, burnt and almost peaty. Lots of roasted malts, seafood???? earth, bitter, some fruit, lots of nuts, not really almond though, more roast, slight spice. Zippy, solid mouth feel with a long bitter and robust finish.

Dark blackish brown with a short lives brown crown, tons of crud poured out of the bottle on the second pour. Aroma is very faint but yummy, nuts, apple, and very mild alcohol. Taste is also yummy but mild. Malty with elements of hazelnuts. Beer finishes very mildly bitter and leaves behind a after taste like a Worthers Original (hard caramel candy). More I drink the more I can taste oak or sometimes this turns in to a red wine like taste. Very Dry but also soft, actually soft is the perfect description of the beer the aroma taste and feel all come across soft and subtle. On my last few sips the taste of dirt and ginger are starting to appear. Not a bad brew nothing special, but worth a try. Thanks Jeff!!!

Pours with a deep brown body topped by a thin to medium thick head with some lacing. It’s slightly sweet and fruity to start but is quickly replaced with a vinegar sourness. Medium bodied and smooth yet slightly dry.
