Bottled 330ml. -from Zenta Kraft Budapest, shared with Hrabren & Marko. Unclear brown coloured, small beige head that went away fast, walnut and heavy alcohol in the nose. Walnut, strong alcohol, touch of rum barrel, wet wood and light spicy notes in the finish. Unbalanced and also bit syrupy.

0.33 l bottle thanks to Ogi and Marko who brought it from Hungary, thanks. Unclear amber, minimal head. Aroma is fruity, tart fruit, cherry, spices. Anise. Hints of almond, walnut. Alcohol mostly hidden. Hints of nuts and chocolate. Smooth, slick, light, sweet, caramely, spicy. Richness in the aroma but thin in the flavour. Some tartness in the finish and it finishes dry.

0.33l stubby from Zenta, with Ogi and Hrabren. Murky dark brown body, no head. Spicy, alcoholic aroma, waxy, somewhat meady, sharp, not really pleasant. Lean, dry taste, some autolysi yeastiness, the maltiness being almost dried out, citric, tart... just bad... I'm afraid. Amateurish really, and I really didn't want to be that harsh. Not the greatest of bases, the barrel did nearly nothing
