Tap at Malý/Velký. Blackish chestnit-brown body, thick beige head. Citric and rye aroma marred a little by a vegetable note - unsure if it's the tap or the beer. Smooth, fairly full bodied, pleasant beer, drinkable, grainy, rye, chocolate, dry maltiness, citric, pleasant hoppiness. Doesn't wow, but it's a good beer. Would like to try it again.

Black colored, medium strong tan creamy lasting head, nice lacing. Aroma is chocolate, roasted malt a bit burnt notes, citrus, tropical fruits and some floral, moderate strong. Taste is medium+ sweet caramel, chocolate, bit of candy syrupy, citrus and fruity hoppy, roasted burnt finish and aftertaste. Medium+ bitterness, moderate- hoppiness. Medium+ bodied, moderate carbonation, bit thick and oily. Strong hops in the aroma but the hop intensity doesn’t follow in the flavor.

750 ml bottle shared by Werckmeister, thanks!
Black body, with a massive, stable, dense, creamy, dark beige head.
Unique aroma of citrus candy, grass, chocolate, some coffee, some pine, soap.
Tastes of citrus, orange, grass, chocolate, some coffee, cocoa, spices, some pine, some soap.
Medium, creamy mouthfeel, with a soft carbonation.
Finishes smooth, roasty, piney, a bit zesty, with some chocolate.

Really interesing. Quite unique, smooth, not as roasty as other BIPAs and really well balanced. Drinks really easy for the ABV. Actually I prefer Black IPAs with more roasty and piney notes, but this is a pleasant alternative.

Bottle. Aroma dried fruits, dark fruits, prunes, also lots of toffee and roasted, lightly diacetyl. As it warms a bit the hops go more forward. Very dark colour. Stable beige head. Taste is hard on roasted, lots of fruitiness, kind of porter-like. The hops manifests mostly in the finish, along with the alcohol. rather bitter, moderately so.

Bottle courtesy of rlgk. Pours blackish brown with a small frothy blackish beige head that slowly dissipates while leaving a small trace on the glass. Smell is malty, slightly fruity and tiny funky with biscuits, burnt cereal, roasted malts, tropical fruits, grapefruit juice, hay, pine, burnt wood and barnyard. Taste is tiny sweet, bitter, fruity and funky with roasted malts, burnt wood, biscuits, grapefruit juice, soil, leather, barnyard, ripe tropical fruits, orange zest, lemon zest and dark roast coffee. Mouthfeel is slightly dry, astringent and medium bodied. Finish is bitter and slightly fruity with roasted malts, soil, barnyard, grapefruit rinds, orange zest, unripe tropical fruits, leather, coffee and barnyard. Lingering brett infection since I don’t think the funkiness is intentional. Works but most likely not what it’s supposed to be...
