Med-full body, med-light carbo. Med-high sweet and bitter, fully malty. Lots of milk chocolate, med cocoa, med-light coffee. Med-light nuttiness and dark fruits. Med-light warmth too, but smooth, easy sipping. Excellent.

Tap at Pivný Raj MN. Pitch black body, off-white head. Perfumey aroma, raisins, barrel-like vanilla and alcohol. Perfumey taste as well, cocoa, vanilla, light alcohol, ending dry and bitterish. Solid!

Draught @ Miezis & ko Aroma has strong mocha tones. Also some truffles and hints or alcohol & licorice. Flavour has coffee, alcohol, some ash. Dry finish with more coffee. Too stuffy finish and alcohol is a bit too evident. Drinkability could be better. A real coffee overflow.
