Smoky beer from Birrificio Magis is a Smoked Sweet Stout of English tradition: dark, sweet, full-bodied, with a roasted aftertaste reminiscent of the aroma of a good sweet espresso coffee. This Sweet Stout is a craft beer with top fermentation, unfiltered, unpasteurized, characterized, as the name suggests, by a strong smoky flavor. Sweet Stouts have a fairly recent and very particular history: they are English top-fermented stouts born in the 1800s as a tonic for convalescents or intended for nursing mothers. This is because the nourishment of this beer is full of properties and organoleptic characteristics. Moreover, this is a smoked beer: to make it, the brewer uses malt smoked with fine woods before fermentation. Main characteristics of Sweet Stouts: very dark color (like Guinness, which is also a stout), visually almost like coffee with cream, aromas of cereal and chocolate, roasted taste initially sweet then bitter, creamy body, and carbonation (the bubbles, which in wine jargon would be called "perlage") almost absent or very low. Smoky: awards won Birrificio Magis is very young, but this beer has already distinguished itself for its quality at the Palio dei Birrifici di San Martino dall’Argine (MN), where it won the special first prize 2019 Style Porter & Stout.
