Very dark in the glass with a compact, hazelnut colored head. Toasted notes dominate the aroma with scents of coffee, chocolate powder, vanilla, caramel and sweet spice followed by sensations of carob and dried fruit. The mouthfeel has a nice effervescence and discreet volume making it appealing while the bitterness is truly balanced. The aromatic purity stands out with the return of caramel, cacao and toasted notes in the after-aroma.
The structure is never redundant and allows this beer to pair with easily smoked fish like kippers on toast with garlic butter or cheeses like Pienza black pecorino and rye bread.
