1l glass bottle with a screwtop (?!) from Csakajósör. Poured a blackish dark red body with a tiny off white head. Dark malt nose, caramel, very light chocolate. Eh, not terribly special. Sweet, light malty oily taste, some roasty? bitterness. Some beet and dust, slightly herbal. A dunkel, not too special, only amped up. Good for Hungary, yeah, but for most other countries, probably nothing too special :/.

4/7 0.33 l bottle courtesy of Doggythedog, thanks a lot for sharing! It poured dark brown, almost black body with smaller, short living brownish head. Nice sweetish caramel, chocolate, coffee and spicy aroma. Very nice flavor as well, caramel, chocolate, roasted sugar and coffee shows up again. Some licorice, raising and maybe wood adds up to its complexity. It has a bit of stout character, but it’s sweeter and smoother. Not too full in body, but tasty and alcohol was hidden pretty well. Long, just a bit warming chocolate aftertaste deservedly leaves the great impression on the beer. This is by far the best Hungarian beer I’ve tried! After many crappy beers, didn’t even expect something so extraordinary.

Bottle received in a trade with armando629 (thanks!), shared with heavy. Rated while listening to Thin Lizzy - Black Rose :D. Poured an extremely dark red-brown body, alost black with a small brownish head that went away somewhat fast. The nose is nice, malt, raisins, oily and carrying some light alcohol. The taste is quite better and this is indeed a great beer. Roasty maltiness, chocolate, raisins, bit coffee, maybe liquorice. Sweet, soft (maybe slightly lighter than expected), balanced and tasty. Warming from all the alcohol which would be appreciated in the winter (definitely not all that much now in July but that’s our fault really). The best Hungarian beer I’ve had so far and I really hope that their other smaller breweries take the cue and start experimenting more.

Bottled(330ml). -face to face trade on II. Cseh Sörfesztivál Budapest with armando629, thanks!
Black coloured, medium sized beige head that went away fast, quite fizzy, vinous coffee nose. Roasted malt, chocolate, coffee and strong licorice taste with notes of dried fruits and alcohol. Slight alcoholic and sweet finish. Very smooth and drinkable for 9%, overall really good and enjoyable Hungarian beer.
