Bottled. Black colour with a small beigeish brown head. Aroma is roasted malts, some ashes, coffee and mild toffee. Flavour is ashes, roast, some toasted malts, mild toffee. Nicely dry, but overly strong on the dark malts (ashes and roast is just too much).

On tap at Ljubljana Beer and Burger Fest, October 2017. Black, diminishing small head. Roasty, dark malts, light coffee and ash aromas. Very dry and roasty. Soft creamy texture, medium body, moderate carbonation, roasty finish. Liked it due to its dryness.

15 August 2018. At Sir William's Pub, Ljubljana. Cheers to Anke!
Pours hazy black with a lasting, small, frothy, yellowish beige head. Aroma of coffee filter, coffee pad, mocha, roasted malt, old toast, faint tobacco. It tastes light malty sweet, bit bready with bland chocolate, and light roasted bitter, coffee pad again, bland toast. Short, dryish finish, some toast, coffee, nothing spectacular. Light to medium body, slick texture, soft carbonation. Too bland and uninteresting; back to the drawing board with this one...

0,33 l bottle. Pours almost black with some floating yeast flakes and big frothy quickly dissipating brown head. Aroma of toasted malt, some coffee and cocoa, woody. Aroma almost disappears as head dissipates, something like stale woody espresso remains. Taste is light sweet with some medium roasty and burnt bitterness. Body is on the watery side, texture slick, carbonation is soft. Finish is long, unpleasant woody bitter espresso. Dull with unpleasant woodiness, not good at all.

Bottle, 330 ml, courtesy of Max. Shared with him and JFK10000. Dark brown, almost no head. Light chocolate in aroma. Malty and very watery. Bland. Sweetish. Well this was an unpleasant surprise, not sure what went wrong but this seemed like a coloured malted water.

Bottle, 0.33l. Aroma of roasted malt, leather, tobacco and dust. Pitch black color with medium quickly diminishing light brown head and average sparkling appearance. Taste starts with medium sweet roasted malt, chocolate and licorice, follows slightly umami and mild fruity, mouthfeel is mild spicy, while finish is mild bitter. Medium body, creamy texture and average carbonation in palate. Space oddity...

Bottle, 0.33l. Pours cloudy dark brown with large but totally diminishing frothy light brown head and sparkling appearance. Pleasant aroma of roasted malt, coffee, cocoa, dark fruits and a bit of herbs. That’s it, what follows is a decline only. Taste starts with moderate sweet roasted malt, but gets quickly overpowered by fruity and yeasty sourness, apparent sign of an infection. There are still cocoa and coffee traces, but sourness kills all the joy, and my taste buds, too. Mouthfeel is crisp and dry, while finish is very mild bitter. Light body, thin texture and fizzy carbonation in palate. It seems majority of beers brewed at Vizir can’t stand bottling. Have been a bit calmed down few days ago when I tried Vizir Black Jack, but not I’m pissed off again. Interstellar failure...

Pitch black, topped with a thinner and not lasting cream colored head. Very nice chocolate nose with some black currant notes in the back. Taste starts gently roasty, followed by sweetness of chocolate and currant. A hint of bitterness in the finish. Gentle roasty aftertaste, quite lasting. Quite thin body, but pretty nice otherwise. Earlier Rating: 3/5/2016 Total Score: 4Re-rating this one. New batch on tap. Pours a very dark brown, almost black, topped with a decently sized and very lasting beige head. Super thick and creamy - a delight to look at. Pretty straightforward dark chocolate aroma, some vanilla in the back and some bourbon even more in the back, with coffee and roasted malts interplaying inbetween. Starts slightly sweet and chocolatey, followed by nicely roasted presence and some coffee and mild but easily noticeable hoppy bitterness in the finish. Roasted and coffee notes in aftertaste. Very nice porter.

Bottle, 0.33l. 6% ABV. Black pour, small beige head. Short retention, no lacing. Pleasant nose dominated by forest fruits and berries. Coffe notes in the background. Lacking in body a bit, somewhat thin. Medium carbonation, light texture. Mildly bitter taste, slightly charred. Aroma feels a bit watered down but beside that it's actually pretty decent. Roasted malts and coffee, hops in the background. Forest fruits. Subtle caramel. Licorice. Slightly boozy. Drying mouthfeel and finish. Overall, pretty decent. A bit on the watery side, true, but good porter nonetheless.
