Bottle from Csakajósör. Almost no foam. Hoppy, roasty, wet cotton-like smell. Dark chocolate taste. A nice, not too strong stout. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Vártam már a stoutot a porter után meg azt is, hogy beleszaladjak végre egy olyan sörbe a főzdétől amire tényleg felkapom a fejem. Ez egy ilyen cucc! Szép sötét textúra, selymesen csillogó barna hab. Illata kávés édeskés malátvával és keserű konló illattal jön elő. Eléggé testes de nem édes. Kávés, hamus egyveleg plusz masszív kitartó keserű lezárás. Szépen kiegyenlített. Nem túlzottan de száraz. Eddig ez a legjobb tőlük és egy jó stout.

0.35l bottle from Csakajósör, Budapest. Black, opaque color with creamy, light brown head. Roaste malty aroma with chocolate and coffee, but a hoppy flavour with spices and herbs also appears. Light bitter taste with some hiding sweetness. Light body with creamy texture and average carbonation. Coffee, creamy finish. It’s a unique stout, light and drinkable, but characteristic. They found a perfect balance of the malt and the hop.

Bottle in a poncy bar in NYC. Dark black colour, thin offwhite head (was served in a rather dubious glass). Roasty malt flavours, dry bitter finish. Some ash. A good solid stout.

LikeIPA (3) - Budapest, HUNGARY - MAY 11, 2012 does not count
At first fragrance is not a stout, more like an IPA. Head is not too durable. Body is medium, roasted malt is too little. This beer is more than stout, it’s a Black IPA for me, but this beer is very good in this category. Taste’s like Grabanc IPA from Hungary.

Armona is a very nice roasted malty coffee scent with a little bit of hops in the end. Very dark brown in apperance with a thick soapy/foamy head that last throughout the entire drink. Head is an off white and leaves a very nice lacing. Has a very roasty malty flavor with hints of coffee and coco. Overall this is a very nice stout. I will be drinking it again.

Aroma is caramel malt metallic hops and maybe some vanilla. Taste is bitter coffee, sweet milk chocolate, roasted and caramel malts. Some cherry and citrus. Plenty of bitter pine hops. Hops shine a bit too much for a stout. Thin feel with plenty of carbonation, interesting but not quite suiting. Rather complex but also mild. Would be a good introduction stout. Easy drinking, just wish hops were toned down.
