🌍 Italy · Strong Ale · One of 2 Strong Ales in hopIQ

Rock Brewery's strong heavy brew — named after the Testa del Moro (Moor's Head), the iconic Sicilian ceramic head vase rooted in a 12th-century Palermo legend of forbidden love between a Sicilian girl and a Moorish soldier. Recommended as an accompaniment to grilled meats and vegetables. Rich amber with a caramel and dark-fruit nose; full-bodied, warming, and smooth with a malty sweetness and long finish.
