Med-full body, med-light carbo. High bitterness, med-light sweetness, light tartness. Med-light warmth even tho abv is not that high. Lots of deep roast and chocolate, fully stouty. Light earthy hops. Works well, clean, good, intense.

Tap at SvS 2025. Pitch black body, tan head. Cocoa, light prunes, some herbal hoppy touches in the intensive aroma. Medium body, heaps of prunes, pleasant maltiness, bit citric, ending bitterish. Lovely, fresh, tasty, not complex, but works!

Bottle, thx Chris! Pitch black body, off-white head. Oily aroma, chocolate, huge roast, dark malts, lighty herbal. Lean, dry, roasty black malt-driven taste, slightly citric, supremely drinkable for the profile and the ABV.

Tap at Slunce ve skle 2023. Hazy black body, not much head. Chicory, coffee and chocolate in the sweetish aroma, some black patent malt tartness too. Dry taste, chicory and chocolate, nicely roasty, sweetish, mildly tart. Another year, another great Asfalt!

Bottle 0.75l. Pure darkness. AROMA- roasted, dark chocolate, old wood, ash, touch of prunes, dark raisins. FLAVOR- velvety, neutral, quite bitter finish, roasted, dark chocolate, prunes, old black ashy wood from a fireplace. Fuller to full bodied. Too much old wood and ash this time...
