Tap at the Opatovina Fest, at Craft Room. Black with an off white head. Dry aroma, lovely coffee all over the place. Sweetish taste, full coffee, slightly sugary, generally clean, tasty and quite nice. Wasn’t full of descriptors that late in the night, but this had impressed me.

(can, 33cl) Dark brown colour with a beige and medium-sized foamy head. Leafy, mildly roasted malty aroma with notes of milk chocolate, mocha and a tinge of liquorice. Moderately sweet and slightly roast-bitter flavour, light to medium bodied with a soft carbonation. Slightly roasted malty taste with notes of coffee, milk chocolate, a subtle fruity touch of raisins and shades of vanilla; moderately sweet and discreetly roasty bitter finish with notes of chocolate, mocha and subtle dried fruits in the aftertaste. 20.VI.17

Can. Dark brown pour. Aroma of coffee, mocha, malt and some cardboard, oh oh. Taste has sweet mocha, red fruit, chocolate, coffee, malt and a little oxidation unfortunately. Allright.

33cl Can at Our Black Heart, during Desertfest. Black colour, beige head. Aroma of sugar, coffee, roasted malts. Flavour is very sweet, sugar, lactose, coffee, roasted malts, some chocolate, bittersweet finish. Light bodied. Too sweet and too much coffee for me.

330ml can. Dark brown/black colour with a one finger tan head, good retention and lacing. Aroma of dark chocolate and coffee, roasted malt. Taste of coffee and dark chocolate, lactose, nice bittersweet flavours, though possibly a little too sweet. Medium body, soft carbonation, smooth milky mouthfeel. Great beer.

Dark brown to black colored, medium- tan head, not too lasting. Aroma is of dark chocolate, milk chocolate, lactose, some coffee, light brown sugar. Taste is quite sweet, milk chocolate, strong lactose, oats, bit brown sugar, coffee and dark chocolate, medium roasty bitterness. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, milky. Too much lactose for my taste... (can)

Opaque black, thin beige head. Rich, chocolatey, coffee aroma. Flavour has the same qualities. Some tangy fruit. Creamy mouthfeel. Really nice.
