0.33 l bottle. Pours black colour with beige head that disappears relatively quickly. It bears the characteristics of an imperial stout but lacks the body behind it. Not bad, just too easy.

Bottle, 330 ml, courtesy of Travlr. Shared with him and Marko. Dark brown with large beige head. Chocolate, malty, light sourness in after. Bitter finish. Slightly unpleasant. Some plastic? Medium bodied. Mess.

0.33 l bottle at 9.0% abv, best before November 2018, courtesy of midovark, thanks a lot Mark! Black with a large, frothy, stable, beige head. Sweetish-malty, moderately roasty, slightly sourish-fruity aroma of dark chocolate, sour cherries and some coffee. Quite sweet, malty, rather roasty, slightly sourish-fruity taste of dark chocolate, coffee, sour cherries and some licorice, followed by a medium long, rather roasty-bitter, earthy-dry, slightly woody-tart finish. Medium to full body, slightly creamy and moderately effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Really tasty, just a little infected, still highly enjoyable!

Bottle courtesy of midovark, thank you sir! Jet black color beige head with good retention and solid lacing. Aroma of licorice espresso dark fruit. Taste is lightly sour coffee. Hi carbonation interferes with mouthfeel just a bit. Thanks Mark!

Thanks Travlr and midovark! Shared with Iznogud and Travlr. Lovely dark chestnut body, lasting beige, creamy head, okay retention. Heavy malty aroma, alcohol, raisins, creamy. Taste... Creamy maltiness, tea, mild raisins perhaps, mild hoppy touches and a solid bitterness afterwards. There was a tinge of something that seemed like the very beginnings of infection but cleared up soon so won't take it against it. Would be nicer colder, raising the score because of that. Not bad!

Palackból. Fekete. Közepes, tartós, tejeskávé színű hab. Kávés, fekete csokis illatfelhő. Íze erős pörkölt malátás, fekete kávés keserűvel, icipici savanyúval a háttérben. Picit sok a jóból, túl intenzívek az ízek. Utóíze a pörkölt ízjegyekről szól, mégpedig jó hosszú ideig. Testes, nehéz sör.
