Bottled 330ml. -Courtesy of and shared with Marko (thanks!). Deep black coloured, medium sized brown head, hops and chocolate in the nose. Roasted malt, bitter chocolate, fruity hoppy and notes of wood with again pleasant bitter hoppy in the finish. Looong lasting bitter finish maybe even too long but in any case excellent brew.

Bottle sample at a tasting at Max’s place. Thanks Stas. 3.8%. Cloudy deep golden with a white head. Aroma of yeast, funky and soapy notes, and light hoppy notes, floral and slightly citric. Rather dry flavor, slightly sourish, with yeast, mild soapiness, a fruity hint, and a bitterish finish. Light to medium-bodied, very carbonated.

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.
