Can sourced from Beerdome and shared at home (02/10/2020) - hazy yellow with a white covering. New Brewery ✅ fruity with some passion fruit, orange, mango, some pineapple and light coconut accents from the sabro, sweetish malts, piney light bitter hoppy finish. Nice.

Pitch black pour with a tall, lively dark tan head with OK-ish retention. Notes of roasted malts, dark chocolate, dark roasted coffee beans, a bit of licorice. A solid RIS

Bottle sample at a tasting at troubles' place. Thanks Stas. Black, brown foam. Lots of roasted coffee, some mocha, roast, sweet and bitterish, quite full-bodied and rounded. Really good.

330ml bottle. Murky golden with a small white head. Aroma is heavy on the Nelson with white grape and gooseberry, citrus, hint of coconut. Taste is a good balance of the two hops, tropical, vinous grape and gooseberry, zesty lime and grapefruit, a light coconut hit. Medium bodied, very smooth. A superb NEIPA from a fairly new Romanian brewery, this is easily up there with the kind of IPAs that HH and Bereta brew.

Inky black, mocha head. The aroma is big luscious chocolate and treacle, some coffee / coffee candies behind. A little bit of cooked corn (that, seems to get stronger with time). Similar taste - a well balanced sweeter impy with a well dialed in body and mouthfeel, enough hop pungency and alcohol heat to make it feel imperial. Jot much coffee flavour. But again, some cooked corn really spoils it all.
