0,5 bottle. It's in a decorative box, supposedly three years old, I've kept it for a while myself. It's beautiful. The label and box match the deep, earthy-brown color of the beer. It doesn't have a lot of head, but that little yellowish brown is there all the way through... Aroma: a little chocolatey, a little roasted malty, a little cognac-like, a little dried fruit, a little "punchy". Carbonation is minimal - fortunately - but what there is is a little "thick", sharp. Taste: a perfect stout. Concentrated, extra full-bodied, creamy, oily, coffeey (but only a little), the dried plum flavor dominates. Your mouth is sticky during and after. Drink slowly, sip by sip, an exceptionally extra delicious imperial stout. The flavor complexity is outstanding! The small, thin foam is also beautiful, the aroma becomes more and more fruity as it warms up.. It's just like it's written in the big book. I've had something similar, but what gave it the maximum rating: the alcohol is completely(!) hidden. There may be different opinions, I recommend storing it as long as possible and tasting it afterwards... AMAZING BEER!!!

Díszdobozos, elvileg három éves, én magam is őrizgettem picit. Szép. A címke, doboz, illik a mély- földes-barna sörszínhez. Nagy habja nincs, de az a pici sárgásbarna az viszont ott van végig... Aroma: kicsit csokis, kicsit pörkölt malátás, kicsit konyakos, kicsit aszalt gyümölcsös, kicsit "puncsos". Szénsav minimális - szerencsére - de ami van, az jó kis "sűrű", szúrós. Íz: tökéletes stout. Tömény, extra testes, krémes, olajos, kávés(de csak kicsit), uralkodó az aszalt szilva íz. A szám ragad közben, utána. Lassan, kortyonként ivós, kiemelten extra finom imperial stout. Az íz komplexitás kiemelkedő! A kis vékonyka hab szintén gyönyörű, az illata ahogy melegszik egyre gyümölcsösebb.. Ez olyan, ahogy a nagy könyvben meg van írva. Ittam már hasonlót, de ami miatt maximumot kapott: az alkohol teljesen(!) el van bújtatva. Eltérő vélemények lehetnek, ajánlom a minél hosszabb tárolást, és utána kóstolni... POMPÁS SÖR!!!
