Soproni Fekete Démon

Brewed by Heineken Hungária/Soprony Brewery
Style: Dunkel
Sopron, Hungary

0.5 i can. After pouring out, the beer shows - beside low-key bubbleing - a deep, non-transparent ashy mahagony colour with a beige/vanilla coloured head, which remains thinly on the top. It snells made of coffee and sweety. The beer’s flavour includes a little sharpness, roasty coffeebeans and caramell-styled bitterness. The final is mild-sharp, a little bit carbonated and dry. For me, a nice dunkel from my country! Egészségünkre!

From draught at Fészek Művészklub, Budapest. Clear dark brown colour, airy creamy head. Slight roast, dark malt aroma along with rye bread. Pretty much dunkel feel but more of everything it seems. Roasty malt flavour with lots of caramel and rye bread, with very lively maltiness. Bit perfumy due to hops. Finish is long with big, dark and roasty flavours plus that perfume again. Hops make this feel dry, which I think it is not. Good beer!

50cl can in Budapest, Hungary. pours brown, beige head. aroma is ,alty with some hints of coffee. taste, roasted malts, some lingering dark fruits, light coffee and bitter-sweetness in the finish.

Bottle, 5.2%. OK roasted, sweet caramelly aroma. Clear dark brown colour. Light brown head. Mild caramelly flavour. Slightly watery at first but turns nicely caramelly. Finishes with a creamy and smoky touch which rounds off the beer nicely.
