Can picked up at Raven brewpub, Pilzen, Sunday 21st January 2024 and shared this on the 5th floor of our hotel, namely Hotel Vienna House Easy sat with Nick and Anna in the viewing area at the end of the corridor overlooking the Pilsner Urquell brewery .Pours shark eye black with a fast disappearing tan head. The aroma is roasted malts, a little nuttiness and a hint of coffee.The nose aromas transfer through onto the palate along with a little dark chocolate and a hint of liquorice. Some dryness and all told this is a classic Imperial Stout with no whistles or bangs, very good and a fine tribute to a wonderful man, cheers Max.

0.44 l can shared with two people who contributed the most to the Croatian beer culture: Ogi and Marko. I can see the reference to Flogging Molly and Dropkick Murphy's songs in the dedication to late Max. Cheers and rest in peace! Dark brown to black, oily, small head. Intense roasty, chocolate, charred wood, nutty, brownie. Smooth oily, dry. Alcohol hidden. Medium body. Light sweetness, dark chocolate bitterness. Smooth nutty, toasty and roasty flavour. A touch of vanilla. Lasting dry finish.

0.44l can courtesy of Fil, huge thanks! Of course. Yeah, had some on tap at Frisches Bier courtesy of Jonas, but I wanted to do this one right and more focused. Max deserves that and more. Pitch black body, small brownish-tan head, gone soon. Nutty, dry, caramelly aroma, mild roast, lightly oily. Lean, dry, extremely dry taste, nutty and somewhat smokey taste, some chocolate, nutty, black patent malt bitterness, some herbal notes. Very drinkable for the ABV and the style, bit drier than it should be though. Still, a very much impressive straight IS!

Can, auf dich mein Großer. Black color with beige head. Aroma is solid old school roast and black chocolate, intense but not overdone. Taste is balanced, black chocolate, roast, not ashy, bittersweet finish. Excellent balance, a real classic treat.
