330ml bottle, thanks to Geiserich. Pours dark brown with a pleasant dark caramel fudge aroma. Vanilla fudge hints in the taste, slowly fading with a very light roasted character coming through. Surprisingly tasty this.

Bottle. Aroma fruity, plums, caramel, butterscotch. Sweetish. Clear cola colour. Stable beige head. Taste is butterscotch, light plums, light caramel, light light sourish roast. Agreeable, but nothing great.

Pours a clear and completely dark color witha very decent cream colored head. The aroma is slightly roasted and heavy on the toffee - pleasant. The taste is sweet slightly roasted with very little coffee. There is small bitterness in the end.

Bottle at Caffe Bar Trapula, Sibenik. It pours dark brown with a thick beige head. The nose is roasted malt, caramel, cola, brown bread and fruit cake. The taste is roasty, cocoa, toast, earth, caramel, touch of alcohol, brown sugar and decent bitterness with a dry, roasty finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Rather drinkable. A solid beer all in all.

This beer was known as one of the first Croatian microbrewery products, produced in a small brewery in a town of Pazarište, near Gospić in Croatian mountain region, famous for its clear spring water, which is also used in production of this brew. It was considered as one of the best Croatian beers, due to the fact it wasn’t pasteurized and produced in small amounts, being also rare and hard to find until fairly recently. Quality of this beer fell with use of additives for preservation so now it tastes more similar to macro Dunkels. Nevertheless, it is still good. I’ve had it many times since 2005, but I’m only rating it now. Pours dark brown with orange tint and quickly diminishing beige head. Weak aroma of malts and nuts, you won’t notice it if the beer is to cold. Medium body, but a full malty taste, not many hops here, low carbonation, well balanced. Ends with a dry finish. Highly recommended.

33cl bottle (6,1%) in a café in Split (June 2009). Pours dark brown with a tan head. Nice surprise to find another decent dark beer in Croatia. Malty aroma with caramel and some roasty notes. Not as good as Tomislav in my opinion, but an undisputed second place for me on this trip.
