Bottled 330ml. -Courtesy of Marko, shared with him and others. What a gusher, half of beer is all over Marko’s kitchen, window, fridge etc...Black coloured, medium sized brown head, slightly acidic nose. Roasted malt, dark chocolate, licorice, notes of cocoa and acidic dried fruits. Have to try it fresh again.

Jun ’14. Marko’s 0.33 l bottle, great thanks for sharing! I can’t describe my thrill with an imperial stout made in Bosnia, really glad the brewmasters from Oldbridz put it out! Anyway, it poured pitch black body with medium sized brown head. Fine aroma of coffee, dark fruits, raw cocoa, touched with an earthy note. Flavor was lightly bitter, with roasted malt dominating, especially the coffee and dark chocolate, which was especially pronounced later. Dark cooked fruit flavors were also making up the big part of it touch with wood and some other spices; no hops. Medium to full bodied brew with moderately long finish, which gave away a bit watery feeling somehow especially since it’s supposed to be 10%. Pleasant anyway here towards the aftertaste with dark chocolate, as said, taking over the dominance. A fine IS, currently the best Bosnian beer for sure! Hoping to see more of these around, including Croatia which has yet to make one.

Bottles courtesy of Omer, thank you sir! Batch 1 and batch 2 compared side by side. Clear deep maroon color, almost black. Thick brown ice cream cone head. Batch 1: Aroma of cocoa powder, burnt espresso, licorice, plums, prunes - 8. Taste is very dry, roasty coffee and cocoa powder - 8. Batch 2 is fruitier, with an aroma of chocolate covered plums - 8. Taste is roasty and fruity coffee, not as dry, not as bitter as batch 1 - 7.

Big thank you to Marko, who kindly shared with us this beer. Almost black color with medium off white head. Aroma of roasted malt, coffee,raisins, smoke. Taste, roasted malt, coffee, dark chocolate, caramel. Alcohol is dangerously hidden. Not so strong in taste as Imperial stouts usually are, but still nice, enjoyable beer.

Huge thanks to Davor for sending one of these! Um, we weren’t supposed to open it until the 19th, but 6.6. seemed like an appropriate date. :) Black, off white head. Smokey, grainy aroma, light raisins... very nice. Oof... definitely overcarbonated, but not much, good, heavy malty backbone, roasty, nice herbal notes, somewhat mild taste. A nice beer indeed. Great seeing what these guys dare to do in Bosnia.
