On tap at Craft Room Zagreb. Finally after several times I’ve managed to rate it. Amber/brownish coloured, medium sized creamy off-white head, mild smoke in the nose. Light malty, light smoke, grain, touch of leather and some herbal hops in the finish. Pleasant smoke notes but a bit too weak body.

On tap at Craft Room, Zagreb. Murky copper, small off-white head. Mostly fruity and malty with light peat development, ash and nuts. More smoke flavor in the mouth, light bitter. Light to medium body, medium carbonation, light and drinkable, very nice dry smoke finish. Lightly smoked beer, nicely done.

On tap at Craft Room, Zagreb. Pours amber with medium creamy off-white head. Malty, grainy, smoked, wood, some citrus notes. Quite bitter finish. Medium bodied. Not my favorite style, but certainly an nteresting one.

On tap at Craft Room. Hah, the first Croatian commercial smoked beer. Misty ruby body with a thick odd white head. The aroma mixes grainy, husky notes with mild smoke, soft maltiness. Light grainy body with woody, smokey notes. Regular smokey maltiness, vaguely bitter. Vague nutty notes. Actually mild herbal hoppy, trace citric notes pop up underneath to help it. Quite drinkable for the style. Good but light and not thaaat much exciting. But still, a good beer. :)
