31/08/2010 - 30cl from tap @ Medvedgrad Adzijina

Clear dark red to brown beer (not exactly black). Tick beige rocky head. Aroma is malty, sweet, dried fruits, caramel. MF is a little flat, medium body and somewhat watery texture. Taste is sweet, roasted malts, some red berries. Aftertaste has a little coffee bitterness, caramel and some acidity to keep the beer balanced. Good brew.

On tap at the brewpub in Zagreb, July 2008. Dark brown, almost black with a medium brownish head. Malty aroma with some dust and toffee. Roasted taste with coffee and toffee. Quite good.

27/10 0.3 l draught. Had dark brown body with medium creamy, slowly diminishing brown head. Roasted malts in aroma, quite strong sourness. Maybe also from some kind of hops... Flavor is sour, a bit bitter, coffee. Finish long and pretty sour. Lacked sweetness expected for the style, but still quite good. I will try it again next time in Zagreb if this was in bad condition.

December 2018 (Ilica/Tkalča): A long, long overdue rerate... Tap at a couple of places, though, honestly, it's not like the bottles I've had recently differed much. Dark cola body - ruby heading towards black, quite hazy, with a creamy off-white head, small but lasting. Subdued aroma in all forms, creamy, touch of coffee, very light dark berry touches perhaps, a touch of dust, but only a little and when warmed. Too subdued. Light taste, fuller than the aroma would indicate, sweetish, yet dry, light walnut touches in the taste, traces of coffee, mild traces of yeast at times - neutral though. A drinkable, if quite subdued dark lager, without flaws, if without strong flavors, with maybe just a touch more yeastiness than it should have - but which doesn't detract. Drinkable, sessionable, which is its function anyway. Jul 9, 2005 review, back at the old brewpub I drank this after the mediocre Pšenično Pivo, and it restored my shaken faith in the brewpub. Dark/near black red, with a thick persistant head that left tons of lacing. The aroma was hard to detect, and I got mostly dust and a bit of malt. The taste is really pleasant and full - dried figs, liquorice and chocolate, with no detectable hops .I didn’t note the aftertaste. Good stuff. 4/5/7/4/15

Draught at Zagreb
Dark hazelnut color, cappuchino head. Light hoppy aroma. Slightly roasted, hoppy mouthfeel. Oily aftertaste. Maybe "the easiest" to drink of Pivnica Medvedgrad beers.
