Birrificio Montegioco Bran Reserva

Produced by ageing a Bran, for 36 months, in barrique. In the glass it is black, impenetrable, with cappuccino coloured foam; to the nose coexist the toasts (with a scent reminiscent of cocoa paste) and the notes deriving from the passage in wood (reminiscent of balsamic vinegar). In the mouth it is decidedly articulated: on one side the evident toasted notes, of cocoa, of soy sauce, on the other the acidity. Very long in the mouth, in the finish emerges the tannin of wood and a slight astringency of roasting. A very complex beer, difficult for lovers of strong emotions. Suggested pairings: difficult to match, recommended for an after meal, maybe (for those who want) with a big cigar.
