The magical story of the mighty Black Pot is about to unveil. Only the privileged get to read it. Only the open minded get to enjoy it!
Long, long ago when the black wizard last opened his magical book of sorcery, a frail piece of paper fell out. Buried deep in the lost caverns, that paper should have found its end there, together with the spirit of its keeper. But, by fate - or something else - this never happened. Once the wind made it through a narrow space and caught the paper, its journey began. It traveled the world, visited places where the best ingredients grow and encountered many gifted people in its path.
And then it reached us. We need to be honest here: we got lucky, real lucky. Finding this recipe was close to a mere walk in the park because actually, it found us.
We did our best to dust it off and decipher the sophisticated writing. Once we grasped the meaning, we held it close to our chests, grudging that we were about to share it.
But heck, we love you guys, so here it is: The Black Pot.
This bold, pitch black, viscous liquid is a statement of our love. You can surely keep it a buried in a hidden well-cooled place to age. You can enjoy it fresh. It will tell a different story every time.

Tap. Black color with beige head. Aroma is soy sauce, chocolate. Taste is chocolate, soy sauce, earthy, petrol. Oily mouthfeel with medium carbonation. Good, but the variants with additives are better.

Bottle revisit. Rich dark malts, a little dark malt cream and rich dark chocolate. Touch of chocolate cake. The Marsala Barrel provides a sticky rich fruity sweetness on the back end. Finishes smooth with some alcohol spice coming forward. This is a decadent affair.

Bottle at Daves, Unterhanching, München. This bottle courtesy of Stefan, cheers Stefan. Shared with the Ratebeer München Tasting group, Wednesday 7th August 2019. Pours very dark brown with a filmy head. Chocolate and nuts, soft with a streak of stock, a little roasty bitterness. A touch boozy, very good
