Can, 0.5l. Pitch black pour, very thick. One finger creamy dark brown head, short lasting, sticky lacing on the glass. Nose is somewhat weird. There's chocolate and coffe in the background but what dominates the nose is something in the lines of strawberry/banana fruit yoghurt. Quite weird considering this is supposed to be vanilla/chocolate/coffee stout. Anyways! Full body, soft carbonation. Mouthfeel and texture are thick, oily, sticky and creamy. Chewy and syrupy. Not so easy to drink to be honest, despite being quite tasty. One to savour slowly. Taste is sweet, perhaps too sweet even. There are some roasty bitter notes in the background but nowhere near strong enough to balance the sweetness out. Aroma of syrup, molasses, caramel. Bready notes, wafers. Fruit yoghurt, cream. Coffee and chocolate, slightly roasted. Mild vanilla notes in the background. Warming alcohol in the background, not so strong in aroma itself - subdued by sweetness. Long lasting finish, sweet, sticky, light roasty. Lingering coffee in the aftertaste. Quite tasty but unbalanced and hard to drink. Way too sweet. Still, enjoyable.

Canned 500ml. -Courtesy of Marko, shared with him & hrabren, thanks! Pitch oily black coloured, minimal brown head, craem chocolate and light coffee nose. Sweet and lactic coffee and chocolate taste with noticable lactose and discreet alcohol in the finish. Too sweet overall.

Can from Goblet ZG, shared with Hrabren. Pitch black body, not much head - brownish in general. Lovely coffee touch with the intensive, too intensive creaminess that Pulfer's recent pastry beers have, alcohol as it warms... Creamy taste, instant kick of bitter coffee, roast and dry chocolate, with some creamy undertones, vanilla sugar (vanilin šećer). It's an experience and a struggle. Way too sweet, weirdly creamy - though thankfully not as weirdly as some, warming. I would love to give it 4.5, however, this is as much as I can hedonistically.

0.5 l can thanks to Marko, shared with Ogi and him. Thick, viscose oily black. Minimal head. Nice chocolate, nutty, coffee, but after awhile sugary chocolate and coffee powder. Oily, thick, sweet. Cloying. Cream. Chocolate with a vanilla and coffee flavour. Strong. Intense. Sugary. Roasty, chocolate and oversweet coffee finish.
