Nera Di Fichi - Imperial
Birrificio Del Levante - Leone D'Oro

Served at Birrificio Del Levante's HQ in Bitritto, IT (BA) in a stemmed pint glass.

A - Beer poured with a black colored body; dark, 3 finger dark creme, latte colored head; small amount of visible carbonation in the beer; moderate amount of sticky lacing formed on the side of the glass

S - Deep, deep fig fruit aroma; other dark fruit scents; very light traditional stout scents, like coffee, chocolate scents, subtle roasted malt notes; after warming up a bit, licroice become very overwhelming

T - Dark fruit flavors of fig and dates, very strong and controls most of the flavor profile; light roasted malt flavor; licorice

M - Nice smooth texture; has less body than most traditional stouts, but has has a nice light feel which makes you want to drink more (as informed by the beer master); little watery, could use more body; aftertaste is slightly bitter and is followed up by dry lingering flavors of fig and licorice

D - Great stuff; I really liked this beer, fantastic flavor profile
