Povodom ovogodišnjeg sv. Patrika izlazi black IPA – Luck of the dark.
Ovo pivo je sladno, blago prženo s okusom kave i karamele u pozadini. U aromi prevladavaju citrusi i borovina. Naglašene je gorčine sa suhim završetkom i srednje laganog tijela.

PITCH BLACK. SHAMROCK LUCKY.

7/10 Appearance 6 Aroma 7.5 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 7.5
Can, 0.5l. Murky, muddy dark brown pour, thin soapy beige head, short lasting. Broken lacing on the glass. Nice on the nose, fruity citrus notes, roasted malt, pine.

Medium body, medium to high carbonation, fizzy. Average mouthfeel and texture, lightweight, some chewiness to it, prickly. Perhaps slightly too fizzy. Balanced roasty bittersweet taste. Aroma of roasted malt, wood, ash. Citrus fruits, pine, herbal and grassy notes.Nutty, minerals, some boozy notes. Slight hop burn. Long lasting finish, quite dry, bitter, slightly harsh. Mild stickiness.

A bit rough around the edges but quite solid nonetheless.

On tap at X Bar, Zagreb. Dark brown, small beige head. Aroma is moderately hoppy, fruity, stone fruit, peach, cherry, piney and earthy. Underneath, roasty, woody and a touch of burnt toast. Flavour is mostly roasty, fruity, soft acidity from dark malts, not astringent, smooth, drinkable. Moderate bitterness, good balance. Dry finish.

Tap at Goblet, thx Antonio! Very dark brown body, off-white, thick head. Bit nutty malty aroma, light citric hoppy notes. Lean, dry, bitter nutty taste, herbal-citric notes, hopburn... Too raw, too rough...
