Very close to black, reddish hues if seen through light. Average sized off-white/greyish head, recedes relatively quickly but still leaves some lacing. Not too much intensity in the aroma, clean and well defined though: sweet/soft maltiness with caramel taking the main stage and a hint of honey, perhaps a fruity hint (red berries?), but also a delicate coffee note. Taste shows a soft and sweet maltiness as suggested: caramel takes the main stage, honey follows. Indeed a hint of fruitiness underneath and also a very delicate but clearly noticeable roasted hint (coffee). Finish actually shows a decent deal of floral hoppiness, bringing balance and a dry enough aftertaste. Still a sweetish interpretation of the style on the overall, but in a clean, pleasant way. Quite light in body with pretty light, delicate carbonation; smooth and slightly silky mouthfeel. Nice tmavy.

ez aztán ott van a szeren. az a csokoládés fajta, na de nem ám az az ét, hanem inkább a tej. persze (és szerencsére) mellőzve mindenféle milks toutos jegyet. komolyan vehető mélysötét habzás, mely halkan halványul el, magában pezseg tovább, mint az aluszos vilamos. pörkölt karamel ami még felsejlik. erős malátadominancia többfélét is kiérez belőle a gurménak a fia, egy kis - a világosnál és jantarnál már érzékelt - mogyorósság. komlót csak udvariasságból látott, meg a tradiciók... bla-bla-bla. a forralás vége előtt 5 perccel hozzáadott pár gram mittelfrüht érzekelek nyelvpadlásomon. meg kell ezek mellett említeni, hogy van benne egy kis tichy-féle festőmalátásság és olyan opatos étbevonóság is, de elég halványan és meg kell hogy mondjam ezt csak a komplexitását fokozta az én szerény érzékelésemben.
