Bottle, 0.33l. Thick hazy copper pour, no head. Minimal lacing. Nose is more on the malty side, strong caramel presence. Very weak hop character, lots of herbal notes. Medium to full body, medium carbonation. Thick, creamy texture, soft and oily. Really full mouthfeel. Medium bitterness, a bit stronger on the sweet side. Warming alcohol, burning sensation on the tongue. Aroma, unfortunately, dominated by caramel malts with hops taking the backstage here. Strong caramel, honey, herbal liquor. Candy-like aftertaste. Some weak grassy hop notes. Off-placed lingering bitterness, a bit harsh. Boozy finish. Overall, too sweet for my tastes. Lack of hop character. Maybe it wasn't stored well? I don't know, but as it is it's quite mediocre. Will try it again sometime and re-rate.

Bottle from the source. Clearish golden color fluffy off white head with solid lacing. Soapy pine and citrus aroma. Taste is bitter pine resin. Decent.

On tap at Makro Beer Fest, Ljubljana. Shared with Višnja 666. Hazy golden, small off-white head. Lightly to moderately hoppy, fruity, spicy, light honey, light cardboard, lightly toasty. Light sweetness, no bitterness. Alcohol is hidden, medium body, abrupt finish. Come on! (May 2018) Found a rating from Macro Beer Fest Maribor 2017. Better shape, more bitterness.

330mL bottle, pours a cloudy dark orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out piney hops, toasted bready malt and earthy notes. Flavour is brighter, with earthy, piney hops bursting upfront, backed with a dry, crisp biscuity malt backbone. Mouthfeel is moderately bitter and finishes dry. Nicely structured and well-made overall.

Tap at Craft room. Hazy amber body with a big, lasting white head. Creamy, maybe too creamy orange aroma, light alcohol notes. Sweetish orange candy taste, light bitterness, dry bitterish finish. Huh... Not my type of DIPA, and perhaps not being 200% fresh didn't help. It's not that a terrible beverage, but "just" okay, and these guys can do much much better.

On tap at Craft Room Zagreb. Dark golden coloured, medium sized off-white head, caramel and alcohol in the nose. Sweet malty, caramel, herbal and fruity with notes of honey and alcohol. Dry sweetish finish. So-so.

Pours almost clear amber, topped with medium yellow-white head. Intense and very likeable fruity nose - peach, pineapple, mango with malty back. Nice gently fruity sweet start, balanced by moderate hoppy bitterness, slightly herbal. Biscuity malt in the backbone with some resin feel. Medium and lasting aftertaste. Smooth with just a slighty warmth in the end - very nicely hidden alcohol. Love it.

Bottle, 0.33l. Aroma of mango, papaya, resin, caramel and bubblegum. Pours clear deep golden color with thin creamy white head, good lacing and average sparkling appearance. Taste starts with medium sweet toasted malt and resin, follows by light fruity acidity, herbal and slightly medicinal, mouthfeel is warming alcoholic, while finish is pleasant bitter. Full body, oily texture and average carbonation in palate. Certainly not my fault that I tried it, well executed in professional Dogs' manner...
