3.6 On tap at Vrteška 2017, Shared with Višnja 666! Very dark, almost black, lasting off-white head. Dark malts, coffee. Very dry and roasty. Barrel, spices. Medium body, soft texture, lasting finish.
3.3 330ml can, 4.5% abv. Dark, opaque, subsiding tan head. Coffee aroma and taste. Short dry finish. Overall: an enjoyable dry stout.
3.9 Almost black with medium beige head. Nice coffee aroma. Mild bitterness with coffee, vanilla and chocolate notes. Some sourness on the background.
3.7 Can from BrewDog online. Dark brown to black colour with a big dark beige head. Coffee and chocolate aroma. roasted bitter and slight fruity taste. Lighter body than expected.
3.5 Tap at Hoppy Loft, 7th June 17. Pours black, thin. Aroma is coffee. Taste is coffee and dark chocolate, nice, but lacks depth.
3.8 Can- 4.5%. Appearance- pretty much black, opaque, a one-finger light brown foamy head. Aroma- lots of coffee, espresso, chocolate, roast malt, tiramisu, ashy roast. Taste- lots of rich coffee, bitter hops, dark malt, chocolate cake, dark chocolate, bitter finish. Smooth and clingy mouthfeel. Good stout.
3.4 Tap at Vrteška. Thanks Nenad! Black, of course. Huge coffee aroma, lovely really. The taste, however, disappoints, carrying the coffee over, but not as pungent or intensive (4.7% can do that to its defense), light, almost "filtered", but not quite. Still, a very good beer, just not as great as I’d hoped after smelling it.
3.7 33cl can at home. Dark brown with a beige head. Light to medium body with moderate carbonation. Nice bitterness with subtle sweet tones. Roasted malts, coffee, hops and subtle chocolate. Good!

3.7 330ml can, 4.5 %, bought at Gulating Ølutsalg, Tromsø. Jet black body, creamy, bubbly, fawn-coloured head with fine duration. Crocheted lacing. Appealing aroma of coffee beans and cocoa. Fine blended taste of coffee and dark chocolate, some dark spices to it as well. Nicely roasted, dark malty bitterness to the ending. A bit thin on the swallow. Well made. (31.03.2017).
3.5 Nie takie wcale czarne. Można coś tam przez nie zobaczyć. Mocno kawowy aromat i smak. Taki klasyczny, smaczny kawowy stout z dużą, acz nie denerwującą ilością chmielu. Wszystko na poziomie.
