Can shared at Csakajó. Jet black pour with a beige head. Nose is huge chocolate punch, some booze, molasses, cocoa powder and vanilla. Taste is downright liquid chocolate with fruity and nutty hints and touches of vanilla and coffee. Immensely sweet but not cloying. Closes with a long lasting, warming finish, has a huge, creamy body and soft carbonation. Not the most complex impy around, but highly enjoyable.

Аромат шоколадный, в основном черный шоколад, но без горчинки, какао бобы, кофе достаточно, накмеки на ваниль, цвет черный, угольный даже, пенка кстати есть и вполне нормальная, кофейная. Вкус неплохой но не топовый, тем более от мастеров этого стиля. Много шоколада снова, при глотке какао бобы и кофе. Собственно это почти все что есть. Может намеки на ваниль и лактозу. хороший но не топовый пастри.

Can from Drankenhandel Leiden. Massively sweet with loads of chocolate. Sugary with vanilla, chocolate ice cream, mocha. Some alcohol. Moderate bitter. Man, that sweetness... Bit like Põhjala Pime Öö... Slow sipping, almost too much.

33cl can from Alko, Helsinki. Pours very dark brown, close to black, with a tiny, tanned head. Malty aroma with plenty of chocolate, vanilla and mild caramel, dried fruits and hints of alcohol. Sweet, smooth and rather flavourful with well integrated alcohol. Warming, desserty and quite delicious.
