This Italian dark ale is brewed with great respect for craftsmanship and a modern approach to balance and depth. The result is a rich and aromatic beer where roasted malts, cocoa and dried fruits blend together in a harmonious and seductive expression.

For dessert, it takes chocolate-based cakes and desserts to new heights – and also works beautifully at the end of a great dinner.
