The decoction was strong and the hopping was more sweet than bitter. The initial taste was that sweet that faded into an understated malt, then a slight astringency in the fade to the finish. This doppelbock wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t syrupy, but it did have a thicker mouthfeel than the standard Moretti offering. The carbonation was low and head short-lived. The heavier, sweeter taste of this beer works well with veal and heavier marinara sauces, but doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t go that well with delicately flavored dishes like carpaccio or pasta or entrees with cream sauces. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll still choose a Peroni over either of the Moretti beers if given the choice.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Give it a try if you find one<\/p>\n<p>Two-and-a-half out of four chewy monkeys<\/p>\n<p>7.2% ABV<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.studionewmedia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/moretti_la_rossa_back.jpg\"><img data-attachment-id=\"8438\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/studionewmedia.com\/blog\/index.php\/2014\/04\/27\/beer-is-good-moretti-la-rossa\/moretti_la_rossa_back\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/studionewmedia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/moretti_la_rossa_back.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"600,800\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2.8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;Canon PowerShot SD1100 IS&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1393702217&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;6.2&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;400&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.16666666666667&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"moretti_la_rossa_back\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/studionewmedia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/moretti_la_rossa_back-225x300.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/studionewmedia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/moretti_la_rossa_back.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-8438\" title=\"moretti_la_rossa_back\" src=\"http:\/\/www.studionewmedia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/moretti_la_rossa_back-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/studionewmedia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/moretti_la_rossa_back-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/studionewmedia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/moretti_la_rossa_back.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is one of the two easily available Moretti products on the worldwide market.
