This Beer is our tribute to our great friend Max. Anybody who ever had the pleasure to meet him, share a drink with him or listen to him singing drunken lullabies at 3am in the morning knows: He was indeed larger than life!
Enjoy this beer whenever it feels right to you, whenever you feel you wanna remember him.
Or you just leave it on your shelf. Just like the memories we all share of that wonderful human being, it won ́t go bad. Sing loud, sing proud!

Black viscouos. Aroma is vanilla chocolate dense cocoa roast and melasses. Taste is sweet velvety creamy chocolate syrup. Medium bitter cocoa. Very balanced. Heavy velvety and viscouos. As imperial stouts should be.

Can. Black color with beige head. Aroma is roasted malts, chocolate, good bitterness. Taste is the same, thick and tasty, no bells & whistles. Soft carbonation. Good!

Tap at Prague Beer Fest 2025, hope to rerate it with full focus at some point. Pitch black body, thick off-white head. Smooth, caramelly aroma, light chocolate, some dark grapes, noticable alcohol. Creamy taste, nutty, caramelly, roasty, bit fruity, actually, remarkable "baltic porterish", reminded me of a bigger, cleaner, even if lightly boozy Tomislav, in a very good way. Actually dug it a lot - like me a base impy that I can drink without issues that doesn't go for any gimmick sometimes! Did like last year's better I reckon.

440ml can. Jet black colour with average, frothy to creamy, moderately lasting, minimally lacing, brown head. Sweet-ish, chocolately, dark malty and caramel malty aroma, notes of toffee, dark chocolate, caramel, some coffee, fudge, weak, fruity-alcoholic overtones with a touch of plum wine. Taste is roasty dark malty and slightly caramel malty with low residual sweetness, minimally fruity-alcoholic and minimally ashy, smoky, notes of dark chocolate, a touch of raspberry and plum; minimally warming, alcoholic finish.
Slightly oily texture, slightly dry, simultaneously slightly cloying palate, medium, scattered, mildly prickly carbonation.
Neither overly rich nor complex - underwhelming.
