Bottle at Kraft, courtesy of Cuso. Pours black with a tan head. It’s packed to the brim with chocolate, cacao, light coffee, oak and vanilla, with hints of nuts. Full bodied, the ABV is apparent, with a soft carbonation. Not bad by far but kinda one dimensional and the barrel notes are a tad held back.

Czarna barwa, nalewa się bez piany. W aromacie wyczuwalne nuty czarnej kawy, gorzkiej czekolady, minimalnie sos sojowy. W smaku podobnie do aromatu, plus delikatne nuty bourbonu, goryczka na wysokim poziomie, alkohol rozgrzewa przełyk, nasycenie na niskim poziomie.

Sweet and boozy, vanilla and chocolate, rich, nice.

Dark brown colour, almost black, no head. Leaves thick traces on glass. Dark and sweet chocolate, cherry on the back of the tongue, salty bourbon on the tip, which makes a good balance. Full body, very thick. Very good.

33cl bottle. Thx VastActiv. Tasting at Ardes. Poured near black in color. Salts, tar and wood in aroma and flavor. Barrel dominating. Not very drinkable. Heavy, roasty.

Magus, aga mitte suhkrune, šokolaad, kakao, mõrudus, kohv, linnased, röst, vahvlid, õrn vanilje, võrdlemisi happeline, natuke soolane isegi, alksi ja tamme on lõpus ka. Hea.

Gęste jak olej silnikowy. W aromacie czekolada, wanilia, kokos, likier czekoladowy, praliny. Potężnie, słodko. Beczka zaznaczona. W smaku jest jeszcze intensywniej. Gorzka czekolada, czekoladowe praliny, mocny likier czekoladowy, bounty. Wysoka paloność. Goryczka wysoka, palona i alkoholowa. Lekka kwaskowość. Wysycenia praktycznie brak. Piwo jest potężne, daje dużo doznań. Kto ma to niech jeszcze z pół roku potrzyma bo alkohol nie do końca ułożony. Mimo to Sztos.
