Can at home. Pours jet black with beige head. Nose is roasted malts, light coffee, cocoa powder and citric notes alongside with some pine. Taste is moderately bitter with notes of coffee, roasted malts, resinous and citric hops, some dry cocoa powder as well. Closes with a long lasting hoppy finish, has light, smooth and creamy body (too light imo) and soft carbonation. So intensely hopped it reminds me of a black IPA, all in all a decent beer.

Canned 440ml. -from Beerselection Budapest. Black coloured, medium sized brown head, chocolate and light coffee nose. Roasted malt, chocolate, coffee, cocoa powder and discreet dried fruits with short mild roasty finish.

Hungarian stout from a can – thanks Steve for sharing. Pale yellowish beige, creamy, unstable and quickly opening head on a blackish beer – but not quite black, as a hazy burgundy glow is visible under bright light. Aroma of cold black coffee, wet leather, burnt wood, paraffin, bonfire ashes even, roasted walnut, bladderwort, black pepper, paprika powder, dried fig. Sweet onset, dried dates and old raisins but generally ‘clean’ with a porcini-like umami touch, softly carbonated, smooth and oily body; toasted walnut- and toasted bread-like malts with oxidized edges which may also explain the paprika-ish aroma, but the oxidation is still limited enough not to bother me too much. Ends with firm roasted coffeeish bitterness, mouth-filling, paired with peppery hops, but a caramelly sweetishness also lingers in the end. Altogether quite straightforward stout – which I have nothing against, on the contrary – but a bit odd, with an unexpected twist here and there.
