On keg at Six Degrees North, Edinburgh. Appearance - cloudy brown. Thin head. Nose - dark chocolate and hazelnuts. Taste - funky hazelnuts and some chocolate still. Palate - tangy sweet and sour at the same time. Overall - a bit weird.

Hazy almost a smoothie, brown colored, small off white head. Aroma is of berries mostly, fruity of course, some malt, biscuit and bit chocolate, tart. Taste is medium- sweet, bit malty, some chocolate notes, again mostly berry fruity notes, some tartness, bit vinous, dryish finish. Medium-light bodied, soft carbonation. Not my favorite.

On tap at Cajt, Zagreb. Murky brown with beige head. Lots of berries, citric, some underlying sweetness, somewhat juicy, marmalade, medium sourness. Some nuts? Puckering. Medium bodied. Interesting, but not my thing, not the best sour fruit combination out there.

On tap at Hop In Zagreb. Unclear berries smoothie like coloured, small off-white head, sourish berries in the nose. Berries, fruits, noticable chokeberry, notes of red wine and light sourness in the finish. Interesting and unique yes but not my type of beer.

Tap at Craft Room. Murky red- brown body, creamy off white head. Chokeberry aroma mixed with an interesting dark malt profile which actually reminds me of... Tomislav?!? Only less sharp and creamier. Taste... Chocolate, caramel, chokeberry, sourness, this is damn unique! The sourness isn't even excessive. Wow, I'm actually impressed! Not fanfukkentastic but... Wow...

On tap at Craft Room, Opatovina, Zagreb. Murky to opaque purple-brownish red, small off-white head. Aroma is moderately fruity, dark fruits, fruit jam, almond, toasty although it doesn't seem to come from malt. Light vinegar but it seems to come from fruity flavours. No strong acidic aromas or lactic acid. Flavour is dark fruits with a slightly harsh dry nutty or toasty finish. This is mostly from the fruit. Something like plastic appears in the finish. Also light blue cheese. This one has complexity that goes in different ways, most good, but not all. Sourness is subdued here, light puckering in the finish. Light to medium body, moderate carbonation, lasting dry finish. Still processing this one.
