Sampled at Billies day 1. Opaque black color, no head. Aroma is malts, roasted malts, light soy sauce, moderately bitter, brown malts. Hmm a bit one dimensional tbh. Dont actually get the liquor other than in the ABV. Okay 8-7-7-7-7

Приятно удивил стаут. Очень хорошая бочка, балангс на месте. Есть черный шоколад и ваниль. Лучше чем у многих топовых пивоварен феста.

Draught No head; oily pouring black beer. Sticky nose (yes!) with whisky, molasses, violets, plums and old Madeira barrels. All kinds of syrup, molasses, brown candi sugar, and indeed whisky. Fusely for a fiery MF. Sticky as drying molasses suspension. Alcoholheat. Bit cliché in the end.

Tap at Firstep & Mad Scientist TTO, Zil Verne. Almost black color with medium beige head. Aroma of dark malt, coconut, roasty notes, chocolate, whiskey, barrel, vanilla, moderate raisins. Taste is more on sweet side with chocolate, caramel, vanilla, raisins, coconut, slightly roasted malt, whiskey barrel. Very nice.

Rating No. 17700 Bottled 375ml. -Courtesy of Marko, shared with him & Hrabren, thanks! Pitch black coloured, minimal brown head that lasts less tha two seconds, soy sauce, alcohol and light chocolate in the nose. Roasted malt, sharp alcohol, chocolate, noticable whisky barrel and mild vanilla with boozy finish. Not so easy to drink.

Tap at Zil verne. Quite full body, med-light carbonation. Very high sweetness, high bitterness, high warmth, light burning, not unpleasant though. Shitloads of chocolate, cocoa, also high whisky, wood, lots of dried fruits, raisins. Rather light coffee. Even light smokiness. Very rich, very tasty, very good.
