Non mi capita tutti i giorni di fare un assaggio in anteprima assoluta. Quando arriva, well-being. This time I have had the opportunity through his friendship with
Tullio Zangrando, one of the most competent and friendly people I know in the grand circus of Italian beer, a consultant for some years in this part of
Theresianer , the company Martino Zanetti (better known to the public as Mr.
Hausbrandt ), in which Christian Romano plays the role of the brewer. The preview is then the unofficial debut of the first ever Coffee Stout by an Italian company (between the medium and large), a beer that I had also suggested the same caution with Zangrando a couple of years ago and that seemed almost mandatory considered the two fields of action for Zanetti. Beer and coffee exactly. Now the beer is ready, a small quantity of production-scale

The aroma is certainly the aspect that intrigued me most. Granted, the note of coffee is clear and dominant, but clean, non-invasive or exaggerated. Below, you will hear all shades "cafeteria": cappuccino, coffee pocket.

Also confirmed When tasting the beer reveals his, effective, lightweight and easy to drink (4.8 vol% and 20 IBU) leaving at the end of a pleasant taste of roasted and bitter very sharp. So this is a beer that I liked very much and I think photographer's attention to a business reality no small beer "original" and characterized. I do not think it is an anticipation of a new era, perhaps only a sign of the times, as Bob Dylan sang, are changing. Or, at least, I like to think so ...
