It tastes a bit like an Italian amaro, very complex and full of flavor, yet sweet delicate. I have substituted the recommended bitters with an homemade peppery and slight acidic one. I suppose the choice of the beer might give different nuances, in my case it was a London porter, bitter and deep. Very good cocktail!
