What it is, and what is in it
Eight and a half degrees under a golden color that doesn't reveal them. The name comes from the Livornese "cinque e cinque" - a chickpea cake inside bread - and the brewery accompanies it with just two words: "Pane e Torta" (Bread and Cake).
The recipe includes sugar, which is the Belgian way of achieving high alcohol content while keeping the body dry. The nose reveals notes of pear and ripe banana, acacia honey, and malty undertones: the pear and banana come from the yeast, not from added ingredients. On the palate, the initial taste is sweet and malty, the body is structured and smooth, and the finish is dry.

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.
