Black Inverno
In Peccatum Craft Beer

 

 

Pours a pitch black coloration with a tiny, fizzy head. Smells of roasted malt and coffee, with a hint of licorice and smoke. Taste follows the nose, being dominated by roasted malt and coffee, with lighter notes of cocoa, licorice, leather, smoke and a certain earthy, herbal/spicey rye note. Finishes with a medium bitterness and some licorice lingering in the aftertaste. Thin mouthfeel with a medium/rich body and very low carbonation.

Very nicely balanced smoked rye Stout brewed with coffee and cocoa. Perhaps a little light on the smokiness, but with a very nice herbal/spicey rye note, complemented by a good bitterness. Shame the mouthfeel is a little light, but still a very nice brew.

Black color with a thin ring of tan foam. Aroma has sweet malt with some dark berries and whiskey booziness. Taste is mostly malty with some sugar and dried fruits, slightly astringent, some roasty bitterness on the finish. Medium body, quite low carbonation, even for the style.
