0,5 bottle. A perfect-looking stout in a very nice bottle (behind a traditional, gold-plated label): Almost completely black, (more like) the head stopped nicely at half a finger, nice and thick and yellowish brown. Aroma: as it should be. Coffee, earthy, chocolate base, caramel, and then as it warms up it gets spicier. Delicious! The body corresponding to 8%, maybe a little lighter than I expected, but that's okay. There is a little carbonation, otherwise a hard, dry sip. Respectable. Taste: coffee, earthiness, dry, chewed coffee bean-like effect, the alcohol is moderately felt. As it warms up, more and more flavors are felt, especially if you rinse it all over your mouth! A great classic stout!

Nagyon szép üvegben (hagyományőrző, aranyozott címke mögött) egy tökéletes kinézetű stout: Szinte teljesen fekete, (inkább az is) a hab fél ujjnyin szépen megállt, szép sűrű és sárgásbarna. Aroma: amilyennek lenni kell. Kávé, földes, csokis alap, karamell, majd ahogy melegszik egyre fűszeresebb. Finom! A 8%-nak megfelelő test, talán egy hangyányit könnyebb, mint vártam, de nincs vele baj. Van egy kis szénsavasság is, egyébként kemény, száraz kortyérzet. Tekintélyes. Íz: kávé, földesség, száraz, elrágott kávébabra emlékeztető hatás, az alkohol közepesen érződik. Ahogy melegszik egyre több íz érezhető, főleg ha az egész szádban át-öblögeted! Remek klasszikus stout! Szerintem alul-értékelt még ezzel a pontszámmal is!

Bottle. Really nice flavor, fruity, slight grape wine flavor. Color like burgandy. Aroma is rich, fruit, slightly malt and slight whiff of alcohol.

Bottle. Color is more gold than amber. Does have a very light amber tinge. Really nice head. Aroma is fruity straw. Taste is sweet upfront with a hoppy bite finish. Not bad.

Bottle. Very over priced for such a bad beer. Color was copper in color with a nice head. Aroma was pickled barley. Taste, straw, very bitter but the nasty kind of bitter.
