Brewed By:
Barley
Self-Defined Style:
Winter Warmer Our new skillful craft brewers, without an old tradition to follow, are totally free to brew experimental beers using unusual ingredients often strictly linked to their area. This is the case of young Sardinian engineer Nicola Perra who for this extraordinary BB10 uses even sapa (boiled worth) of a renowned local wine called Cannonau.
A natural “vinosity” accompanies us along the trip, from the warm and sumptuous scent of caramel, cocoa, dried plum, morello cherry and “strawberry” grapes to the palate rich of complex flavors such as caramel, chocolate, licorice, and plums with notes of sweet dried fruits such as gs and sultana.
Best With:
A typical winter warmer to enjoy before going to sleep but it could be perfect with famous piedmontese boiled meats, with a savory Sardinian sheep’s cheese or with a chocolate or ricotta dessert. User login

The Ultimate Crossover
Appearance: brownish-red with a very thin head
Aroma: dark fruits, chocolate
Flavor: dark fruits with licorice, wine undertones, dates and figs - almost like a light barleywine
Mouthfeel: little carbonation, a little viscous, but nothing out of balance
Overall Impression: This is almost like the missing link between beer and wine. So many great beer characteristics, but definite complementary wine tones make this one of the few crossovers that both sides might actually be able to enjoy.
Comments: An amazing "beer" just because it is so different. This is a great example of the type of innovative beer that's coming out of Italy: creating their own traditions, using local ingredients and providing complexity while still keeping beers in balance.
