Description
Good in brewing beer. Bad in writing bios. Madness from Budapest challenging almost everything you know about beer. Always flawless, always bold, never boring. Not necessary business-wise all the time, but setting the standards high for ourselves every time as we truly believe in the cliché that goes like ‘the way you do something is the way you do anything’.

Bottle, köszi Marci! Pours deep, clear copper with thin, quickly disappearing head. Nose is pretty sweet altogether with notes of fruity hops, biscuity malts and a definite boozy touch. Taste is sweet again, as soon as you take a sip the alcohol appears in yo face but then it becomes somewhat milder, but remains till the finish. There's some fruity underdtones, but the warm boozy character is what's mainly highlighted in the taste: it's very apparent, but not so much so that it becomes overwhelming. Closes with long lasting, warming and sweet boozy finish, has medium, quite dry body and soft to average carbonation. Drinks waaay below the ABV. Interesting conception and the execution is nicely done too, but not really my cup of tea.

Bottle. Pours jet black, beige head. Nose is licorice, lactose, vanilla, slight caramel, sweet booze, bourbon notes. Taste is sweet, cake-y, there's vanilla, lactose, caramel, bourbon again and warming booze too. Thick body, soft carbonation, I'd even say it's a signature omnipollo mouthfeel. Awesome dessert beer altogether.

Tap at BPBW. Opaque pink pour, white head. Sweet strawberry, yeasty touch, faint malts, even some citrusy bitterness. Light bodied with average carbo. Bit of a meh.

From tap at BPBW '19, Friday session. The mezcal is very much apparent both in aroma and taste (mainly in the first), leaving almost no space for anything else. There's some chocolate, slight coffee, a faint fruity touch, but this seems to be it really.

Bottle, thanks a lot Marci! Pours deep, purpleish brown with no head. Nose is szilvás gombóc. Taste is kibaszott szilvásgombóc. Cinnamon, plum, slight vanilla, with a touch of booze. Closes with super long, tart plum finish, has medium to heavy body and soft carbonation. This beer is extremely close to be perfect: the aroma is simply flawless, in taste the alcohol is just a little bit too much, but that’s it really. Amazing job on this one.

Can at home. Pours black with long lasting beige head. Nose is roasted malts, lactose, low cinnamon, some chili. Taste is low roasted notes, perhaps a hint of chocolate, light lactose and then comes the moderately spicy chili that lasts well into the finish. Light body, soft carbonation, easy to drink. Bit of a meh.

Bottle at home, cellared this one for a year. Pours deep copper with quickly disappearing beige head. Nose is sweet boozy, it actually reminds me of bourbon. Toasted malts, biscuits, caramel, a touch of hay and honey. Taste is sweet booze again, bready malts, toasted notes, honey, vanilla. Light to medium body, soft carbonation, closes with a long lasting, warmingly sweet finish. Lovely.

Bottle at home, courtesy of Marci, koszi szepen! Pours opaque golden with quickly disappearing white head. Nose is slighlty spicy grapes, sweet fruity notes, perhaps a touch of honey, very nice rounded. Nose is lighlty vineous, somewhat sweetc super fruity. Both kinda juicy and kinda dry at the same time. Closes with hoppy fruity notes, light citruses mainly. Light bodied and easy to drink, with a soft carbonation, drinks way below the ABV. Tasty and nuanced with a superb balance real fun.
