Real black beer with velvety, creamy foam. Cold roasted co ee, smoky scents and flavors are dominant. As the beer warms up a light chocolate flavor can be tasted.

0.33l bottle. Black body with a thin light brown head that disappears totally in a couple of seconds. Aroma of roasted malts, cocoa powder, some caramel and even a hint of dough. Taste of roasted malts, cocoa and a bit of caramel. The finish has a nice floral hop bitterness to it. Light-medium bodied with soft carbonation. Simple stout, but OK.

Bottle sample, many thanks Benzai! Opaque brown color with nice creamy beige head. Aroma is chocolate, earthy, leathery, bready, toffee. Taste is chocolate, nutty, earthy, some weird liquorice in the finish that's not for me. Velvety mouthfeel with soft carbonation. Nice, though maybe a bit too rustic.

Draft at Legfelsőbb Beeróság, Budapest. Poured a clear dark brown with a frothy light tan head. The aroma is caramel malt, light dry roast, light coffee, chocolate. The flavour is moderate liquorice bitter with a light malt, yeasty charcoal liquorice, light floral, super dry hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with carbonation. Not the greatest finish to a stout that I’ve ever tasted. It started out fine in the aroma but fell away badly.

Bottle @ home. Opaque dark brown to black color, small off-white head. Smell and taste malts, brown malts, a bit dry earthy, nice malt bitterness. A bit tough to properly describe in detail but very nice imo. Pleasant lingering malt bitterness. Decent to medium body, pleasant quite soft carbonation. Nice!
