For my taste this is the best dark beer in Croatia. It’s brewed in small brewery without preservants. Dark brown color. It’s not heavy but it is rich, moderately sweet, preasant and drinkable. Whenever I have a chance to drink this beer I must drink it. :-)

Unclear brown with a beige head. Aroma is sweet, malty, caramel and light buttery. Flavor is quite sweet and light bitter. Sweet finish. 160512

Bottle @ DØE meeting. Pours dark brown with a tan head. Aroma of malt, brown sugar, nuts. Taste is roasted malts, brown sugar, caramel, nuts, oak. Thin body, lively carbonation. 160512

Bottle @ DØE Syd. Dark brown with small tan head. Aroma is malt, caramel, little chocolate and a little nutty. Flavour is malt, caramel, little chocolate, sweet, light nutty and a little butter.

Bottle. Nice creamy head with good duration. Color is dark brown. Aroma and taste are caramel, malt, butter and hops.

(Bottle 0,5l) Very light coffee and roasted malt aroma. Deep black color. Medium light brown head. Light sweet, light sour, light spicy taste. Light fizzy. Long light astringent finish. Too light beer for 6% ABV. A bit disappointment.

Pours a clear dark brown beer with red glare. Fine white head, almost beige. Aroma has caramel, sweet malts, somewhat meaty, dark fruits, hops. Taste has roasted malts, some caramel, a little hop. Aftertaste has both coffee bitter from the roasted malts and hop bitters. Some spices. Pretty dry for a brown.

note: scores are given for the bottled version. The scores for the unfiltered beer are: Ar: 3/10, Ap: 4/5, T: 5/10, P: 4/5, O: 12, Total: 2.8 Conclusion: I like the unfiltered dark beer better than the bottled version. Only the smelly yeast is not so pleasant.

Bottle (courtesy of ogivlado and doggythedog - thanks). Sweet chocolate and graham cracker malt aroma (like a McVitties chocolate covered digestive). Clear chestnut color with minimal head. Slightly sweet chocolate and graham cracker malt flavor with a lightly bitter grass hops finish. Very tasty - a great dunkel.

Brown color; big creamy head. Light aroma, light caramel flavor, rather smooth mouthfeel, light residual sweetness; low bitterness. Boring.

Clear dark amber with a huge beige head. Aroma had roasted malt and caramel. Sweet flavour with roasted malt, caramel and fruity notes. Mild sourish notes towards the end.
