0.33 l can thanks to Ogi who brought it from Budapest, shared with Ogi and Marko. Dark brown to black, smal beige head. Intense coconut aroma. Bounty-like chocolate coconut combo. Čupavac cakes. Slightly one sided aroma. Sweet chocolate and nutty flavour, lots of coconut, dark chocolate and roasty bitterness, good balance. A bit overwhelming. Sweet finish.

0.33l can, thx Ogi for sharing with H and me! Murky very dark brown, blackish body, off-white head. Enormous coconut and caramel aroma, bit malty. Lean, sweetish taste, coconut mostly, but okay, a bit biscuity. Fucking čupavci (lamington I guess for the English speaking crowd). Hemp? Not really, no. I mean... it is kinda what it is?

Tap at PBF 2025. Dark brown, blackish body, off-whtie head. Dry malty aroma, mostly dried fruit, figs pretty much. Similar taste. Honeyish, dried figs, dried fruit, chocolate, herbal touches, pretty warming. Good stuff!

0.33L can, gift from Kapusil - many thanks, my friend! Very hazy yellow to bright orange colour, moderate sized dense ecru-ish white head; aroma of canned pear and apple, orange peel oils, grapefruity, tangerine, some mango and oat notes; taste is similar to the aroma with definite hoppy bitterness and some syrupy notes; really good one!
gave a cheers!

Fairly tasty. Sweet and rather boozy. Some decent roast, a little burnt toffee, raisins, chocolate mousse. Warming finish, sweet but not quite sticky. Pretty basic gear but enjoyable enough.

0.33l can. Hazy yellow body with a thin white head. Aroma of oats, honey, sugar syrup, tangerine, cellery and some earthy notes. Taste of sugar syrup oats, apples, tangerine, lemon zest and grapefruit. The alcohol is well hidden, quite smooth. Nice DIPA.
gave a cheers!

Hah noted as "First Rum", at Prague Beer Fest 2025, and almost wrote it off as Firstep Rumur, which makes no sense as I'd had that one before and I wasn't gonna rerate it. Then a check revealed that they were sharing samples of this - so I stumbled into one (makes sense, there were near us). Dark brown body, off-white head. Huge rum notes in the aroma, brown sugar and a lot of alcohol. Blueberries, sugar and dark malts mix in the sweet, rummy taste. Nice one!

Tap at PBF 2025. Hazy golden body, off-white head. Floral and herbal soft aroma. Minerally, dry, nicely floral-hoppy taste, lightly tart maybe, but generally would be nice enough with some tweaking of the body!
