Pivo Svetog Martina skuhali su majstori pivari Matt Hollingsworth i Božidar Kostanjčar. Odležan više od šest mjeseci, ovaj jaki ale ispunjen je kompleksnim sladnim notama, izraženim voćnim okusom te zavodljivom aromom. Nepce će vam zaogrnuti neočekivana toplina u koju se zaljubio i biskup Martin te zaboravio na vino. Predstavniku ceha vinara podario je slad i hmelj kako bi i oni mogli kuhati pivo...

Bottle picked up from Pivnica Medvedgrad Samoborska last Friday and consumed sat outside Frank at Camp Riviera Makarska this Friday the 5th September 2025 after another walk from the campsite into Makarska. Pours dark brown with a brief head of slim off white film, excellent clarity, looks good. The taste is good there is toffee, dried fruit, caramel etc but like many barley wines the sweetness can be a bit overwhelming. It's a good beer, but the hoppiness is muted and all told it's a bit too sweet for me. Barley wines are a tricky style to pull off, I guess I prefer the big American style ones such as Bigfoot but English style can be excellent but it's just a bit more difficult.
