Peroni Gran Riserva Doppio Malto (Asda) By @SpectreUK

This Peroni Gran Riserva Doppio Malto sounds and looks really impressive in it's smart labelled bottle. I'm suspecting Birra Peroni weren't expecting a bottle of this beer to be washing down ham, fried egg, and chips, but that's what I have for dinner tonight. At 6.6% in volume, from the Doppio Malto title, I'm also suspecting that this beer is plentiful with malted barley.

On serving up my dinner and pouring the bottle into my waiting beer mug, there was indeed a good malted barley aroma to this bubbly beer. Strong and sweet in malted barley with an alcoholic kick to boot, herbal hops provided lively bitterness towards the aftertaste. And what a taste. Gosh, this Peroni Gran Riserva Doppio Malto lived up to the smart labelled bottle it was presented in. Maybe I'll have it with a tomato pasta dish with some cheesy garlic bread on the side next time. Those strong sweet malts and hops will complement those flavours very nicely indeed.
