Amiata Drago della Selva
Amiata Drago della Selva is a bold Classic Style Smoked Beer that bridges legends with craftsmanship. It features a complex grist of 4 malts, including a specific Scottish malt dried over peat fires, which imparts a distinctive earthy, smoldering aroma. This intense peat character is balanced against the bready, toasted sweetness of the base beer and the herbal, floral qualities of English hops. The result is a sensory journey of campfire and damp earth, supported by a medium-bodied malt backbone. It finishes dry and lingering, evocative of the charred history from which its name is derived.
Appearance. Deep amber to dark mahogany (18-22 SRM). Clear with a thick, persistent tan head that leaves moderate lacing on the glass.
Aroma. Moderate to high intensity smoke character, specifically featuring the earthy, mossy, and slightly medicinal notes of peat-smoked malt. This is supported by a bready and toasted malt aroma with light caramel. Low earthy and floral English hop notes are present in the background.
Taste. The initial impression is defined by assertive peat smoke, providing flavors of smoldering wood and earth. A sturdy malt backbone offers toasted bread and dark fruit esters. Moderate bitterness from English hops balances the sweetness, leading to a dry, clean finish with a lingering smoky aftertaste. No harsh or acrid phenols.
Mouthfeel. Medium body with moderate carbonation. Smooth and creamy texture with a light, well-integrated alcohol warmth. No significant astringency.
