Batch 2 - 6%. On tap @CAJS, of course, thanks Armando! Very dark brown, almost black body,. Medium sized off white head. Slightly mild aroma, caramel/chocolate notes (did I imagine that?) with some slightly dank hopiness and maybe lemon. Nice, full creamy body, the biggest improvement from the original. Mild roastiness (Armando said that this one is intentionally less roasty, and it’s perhaps true, but I still thought some was present) and nice hoppy notes, bitter lemon peel, quite well balanced. Long, lasting fine herbal bitter finish, slightly peppery at some point. Nothing off about it (did think I caught some slightly soapy note, but nothing to complain about), and while it doesn’t dazzle you with overtly flashy flavors, this is another great beer from Gergely - great job!Earlier Rating: 6/3/2012 Total Score: 3.7 Batch 1 - 4.5% Draft at the F-Fest. Poured an almost black body with an off whtie head. Coffee in the nose, sweet maltiness, some herbal-agrumey aroma hops too. nice roastiness getting bludgeoned by herbal hopiness, quite dry, and it’s just 4.5% wow! Softly rounded, maybe a touch soapy. The coffee and roasty notes are sorta superior to some aspects of the hopiness, but it’s a damn nice beer for its class! Thanks to armando for giving another sample too :).

On tap. Black body, creamy beige head. Aroma and taste of cocoa, caramel, chocolate and fruity hops. The aroma is a bit sulfury but not that disturbing. Other than that it’s a well made beer.

Ezt még a múltkori főzdefeszten kóstoltam, és egyből a Matuska Cerna Rakétája jutott eszembe a maga erőteljes, már-már erőltetett szőlősségével. Amúgy ugyanolyan mint a sima Grabanc: jó.

Draught at Főzdefeszt III, Budapest. Black coloured, medium sized pale brown head, herbal hoppy nose. Roasted malt, aromatic agrumey hoppy and light chocolate with pretty strong bitter herbal hoppy notes in the finish. Very nice one, for sure in TOP3 of this event.
