Bottle @ home. Dark brown color with a dark red glare coming through when held into the light, full sized beige head that lasts for a long time. Aroma is malts, earthy, leaves. Taste malts, dark malts, again earthy and quite bitter. Decent body and carbonation.

Milder dunkelmalziger Antrunk. Minimal röstig-herb, diese Kombination könnte deutlich stärker sein. Kurzer Nachhall. Süffiges nettes Bier, das vermutlich deutlich besser wäre, wenn die vorhandenen Aromen stärker wären. 8/9/7/7/8/7

Pours dark ruby, almost black colour with medium, creamy beige head. Smell of roasted malts, yeast. Subtle chocolate presence. Medium body with average carbonation. Smooth texture. Taste is nicely balanced, slightly bitter. Aroma of roasted malts and yeast with toffee and caramel present in the aftertaste. Finish is short and mostly dry. Overall, pretty good and refreshing. I’m definitely picking this one up again.

Dark brown to black colored, reddish hue, tan medium creamy head, nice lacing. Aroma is of some caramel, chocolate and roasted malt with the standard Medvedgrad yeasty background. Taste is medium sweet caramel-brown sugar, toasted bread, some chocolate and roasted malts, again standard Medvedgrad background aroma. Medium- bodied and carbonation.

This was my favorite beer from Medvegrad since 2004., rating it only now. Dark brown with orange tint, off white to tan lasting head. Lagerish aroma, hay and malt, hints of roast in the background. Roasty character, malty, caramel, nuts and some chocolate in the finish. Medium carbonation, medium body. A proper example of style.

Bottle @Buskers Pub (Rome), shared by ippopotamo36 (thanks Alberto!). Deep brown honey color with a good beige foam. Aroma is roasted malts, caramel, some coffee. Flavour is well balanced, roasted notes, little sweet, with a decent bitter end, some caramel. Light body, medium to light carbonation. Nice!

Pours a clear dark brown color, red undertone, topped with a decent and solidly lasting tan colored head. Malty aroma, a bit roasty with some mild chocolate notes. Taste starts with some sweetness, quite watery with some grassy notes later on. Mild bitterness and slight herbal presence in the finish. Drinkable, although a bit more taste would be needed - a bit too watery.

Bottle courtesy of Boban, thank you. Shared with mortlach and Valerio in Rome at Buskers pub. Pours almost black with syrupy texture close to a reddish brown, tick and frothy beige cap with incredible retention and drafts. Nose: caramel, roasted malts, fresh tough. Mouth: watery as the style requires, a bit too thin but without any evident flaw. The roasted malty feel is there with a well-balanced bitterness. Some non-disturbing caramel too. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Tap at the Brewpub. Aroma roasted, caramel, light oxidized hops. Clear deep amber to brown colour. Taste is a bit weird. Initially caramel and fruity. Then it turns bitter, but with almost no hops flavour. Also the body is a bit thin.
