Draught at the brewpub. Black coloured, small to medium pale brown head, coffee licorice nose. Roasted malt, dark fruits, chocolate and rye taste with notes of licorice. Mild acidic finish with touch of chocolate. Very good and easy going beer.

Draught at the brewpub, like all of these shared with ogivlado and Maja (thanks for this one!). Špired a murky dark brown body with a small tan head. The nose is superb... Apricot jam, prosecco like notes of alcohol, lovely sweet maltiness, some coffee, way better than expected. The taste was a slight letdown after this but it’s still a very good beer. A light, yoghurty and fruity taste, maltiness, notes of apricot and blueberry, lightly acidic finish, light chocolate, low hopiness leaving a light aftertaste. Very, very interesting beer, really something special, but I can’t shake the feeling that something’s missing.
