Tap at Pivobrana Beerfest. Slightly vegetable first taste. It disappears quickly though and leaves a classic Belgian yeastiness with a bit of funk mixed in.

Thanks Cuso & Gurthnar! Almost black body, grey-beige, lasting thick head. Aroma... fine coffee, citric hops, vaaaague dark chocolate, very mild sourish taint too, but that was absent from the draft version I took a quick noteless sip from (thanks Pornoguru!). Taste... full on roasty, impressively so blast. My bottle, brewed at Jama, at 6%, tastes almost like an Imperial Stout. And in a good way. The roasty, dark chocolate-coffee taste leaves quick hints of citric-herbal hoppiness, more pronounced in the draft version from what I recall, but still very good in the bottle. Good, not overbearing roasty finish and aftertaste. Ah, in the end it does lack just a touch of body, but is still impressively intensive. Just a stone’s throw away from the best CDAs I’ve had in my life, the draft version being around a 3.9-4, the bottled, around 3.7.

Bottle sample at a tasting at Max’s place. Thanks Stas. Hazy deep golden. Hoppy aroma full of overripe fruits. Slightly sweetish flavor with malt, fruity hops, and a bitter finish. Medium-bodied. Decent.

On tap at Urban House, courtesy of Pornoguru (thanks!). Poured a misty amber body with a small white head. Aroma... fresh, notes of caramel, herbs, green fruit, sweetish, light peach ice tea. Not bad. Taste... Mild, light peachy notes ending in a strong, huge bitter finish that took on slightly plastic-like notes, but all in all was OK. If not really by strength, this is definitely an IPA by bitterness. Not really balanced, slightly imperfect, but a good beer really, and, more importantly, my friends loved it (those who didn’t think it was too bitter at least).
