Bottled 330ml. -Black coloured, medium sized brown head, chocolate and whiff of dry chili in the nose. Light roasted malt, decent chocolate profile, cocoa powder and mild chili with touch of cinnamon in the finish. Very good brew.

33cl bottle share @ Niamey's 3rd craft beer tasting, big cheers to Madalin for logging around 30 Romanians bottles to Africa. BB 15/06/2018, lot#03BURN. Brune foncée, col beige. Arôme aux effluves bien maltées, caramel, pâle chocolaté avec un léger rétro sur les effluves de piments, retrouve aussi un léger apport houblonné plutôt neutre qui laisse la place, sans être surfait, aux notes de piments. Palais est plaisamment bien houblonné, pepper heat sans tomber dans l’extrême malgré l'usage de habaneros. Retrouve une petite touche de vanille qui vient balancer le tout. Ceci étant une bonne base de malt complète le tout, chocolaté, grillé avec une note cara pâle.

A gift from Silvester, thanks pal! Pitch black with brownish head. Aroma of burnt coffee and cocoa. I don’t really like the spice line... Some may find it interesting, but it’s not really for me.

0.33 l bottle. Black with reddish tint. Intense roasty, chocolate, nice spices, hot peppers. Chocolate flavors with hot spices. Light smoke. Sweet with some tartness from roasty malts and spices. Oily texture. Harsh alcohol. Medium to full body. Dry and roasty finish. 737316=3.6

Bottle, thanks ciocanelu! Black color with big beige head. Aroma is vanilla, cocoa, lacto, cinnamon, chocolate. Taste starts of with an immediate chili catch, the cinnamon stays present, with a nice coffee character throughout. Rather light mouthfeel, low carbonation but the bubbles do have some bite. Surprisingly light, nice chili catch - needs a tad more body maybe.

NOV-2018. CAN 33 CL. Batch 4. Smells really well spiced - mainly cinnamon and cocoa over sweet powdered chocolate and chocolate syrup, not much nutmeg or chillies in the nose. The taste is less flavoring laden, but neither does the malt backbone step up to compensate - as a result it feels a little diluted, which is not good. Diluted and spiced is even worse. Finally, the habanero shows itself in the finish, well dialed in, layered upon some earthy hops and dried leaves. Overall - not bad, but, just like with many other flavoured shouts, I want the base beer more solid and not simply relying on spices too much. 7-4-7-3-14=3,5.




JAN-2017. BOTTLE 33 CL. Batch 1. Opaque black, dark espresso head. Subtle and balanced aroma - chocolate, cocoa, cinnamon, nutmeg - are all there without standing out. The first sip welcomes you with a very smooth body, pretty dry - just barely sweet dark chocolate and a good balance of subtle spices. The chili gently heats up the throat. A very well polished and balanced spiced stout. Maybe too balanced. 7-5-7-4-15=3,8.
