Tap at Kraft, koszi Adam! Pours black with a tan head. Nose is dark malts, coffee and roasted notes with a hint of vanilla. Taste is sweetish malts upfront, I get coffee, roasted malts, dark chocolate and cocoa powder. There’s a faint hint of plum and a slightly more apprent vanilla touch. Not quite sour, more like simply acidic that might as well just be the dark malts. Medium bodied with a soft to average carbonation.

Can, small stable off white bubbly head, dark brown colour, aroma of cocoa, plum, cola and a bit of roast and vanila, fruity plum flavor with caramel, hint of chocolate and a bit of cola and vanila in the back and a whiff of horse sweat, fruity sourness and sweetness balancing each other. Really nice.

Can sample at a tasting at Max's place. Thanks Stas. Dark brown. Caramel, dark fruits (plums), licorice, a bit spicy, sweetish-sourish.

Tap at Zil verne. Positive things first - the vanilla does not overpower, providing only background smoothness. The plum manifests nicely in moderate amount, combining well with the stout character. Now to my main objection. This feels like a badly infected stout, that was then flavoured to make it fancy. No way of knowing for sure, so no way to rate it objectively. I am going for a hedonist number, which sits somewhere in between a well made sour beer and total disaster. Thin body, med-high carbonation. Medium roast, chocolate-coffee, kinda obscured by the sourness though. Bretty and burnt character to the sour part. Hard to drink, yet somehow always nuding me towards another sip with a slightly tart finish. Wow, long rating. Average-good beer.
