Lore (5131) - Budapest, HUNGARY - JAN 10, 2020UPDATED: JAN 10, 2020 Dark brown colour, practically no head, only some ecru lacing; aroma and taste of dried plum and cherry, cognac, grape, dark chocolate and burnt woody notes; well as tasted right after a prairie masterpiece, it has no chance to be rated as a good imperial stout...but objectively, it is not a good one...not bad, but somehow 'empty' 8 2 7 3 14
