Med-thin bod, lowish carbo. Med-high sweet, kinda too much. Med bitter, light roast astringency. Hint of oyster salt. Overall feels a bit too burnt, while also quite sweet, definitely off balance. Average-good.

Can. Very dark brown color with medium light beige head. Aroma of chocolate, toasted malt, roasted malt, touch of coffee, caramel. Taste is roasted malt, caramel, dark chocolate, salty minerality probably from oysters. This is easy drinkable beer, used for drinking, not for meditation. I liked it.

Tap at the brewery, in Zagreb, Croatia. Pours black, with fine brown foam. Aroma is more chocolate than coffee, a little smoked. Body and carbonation are average. Taste is definitely roasty, but accompanied by some light sweetness. Final is on the dry side.

Can, 0.44l. Black pour, three finger creamy beige head, long lasting, sticky lacing on the glass. Nose is smoke, charcoal, roasted malt. Bready notes in the background.
Medium body, medium carbonation, lively. Smooth mouthfeel and texture, soft, chewy, somewhat lighter than expected. Goes down nicely. Balanced roasty bittersweet taste with light salty touch in the background. Aroma of roasted malt, toasted caramel, bread. Coal, ash. Dark fruits. Mild sugary sweetness, slightly sticky. Earthy notes, minerals. Medium lasting finish, dry, roasty, lingering bitterness.
Solid stout.
