What it is, and what is in it
Ten and a half degrees, dark amber with ruby reflections. The name comes from Livorno's iconic fortification.
It is a long-aged barley wine: first in steel - the brewery specifies it does not go into barrels - and then in the bottle. This aging process gives it oxidative notes, which are typically corrected in dessert wines. On the nose, caramel, figs, and dates, with a liquorice note. In the mouth, the body is full and soft, and the alcohol presents itself like in a passito.
First place at Birra dell'Anno in 2021 and three first places at the European Beer Stars. The brewery suggests letting it warm up a little in the glass.

All 16 products by Piccolo Birrificio Clandestino- How it is made
- Production, maturation, and packaging take place at the facility on via Cimarosa, in Livorno, where the brewery also hosts guided tours and tastings. The brewery presents itself as craft: under Italian law, the term mandates a non-pasteurized and non-microfiltered beer, produced by an independent brewery. The catalog is divided into three declared categories - Core Range, Year Round, The Fun Part - depending on whether the beer is always available, matures for a long time, or is a one-time release.
- Other sizes
- 33 cl bottle; on tap in the taproom.
