Prunes are not for goons. Our interpretation of a Baltic Porter with dried prunes smoked over a BBQ with local Slovenian prune wood. Got wood?

Bottle, 0.50l. Aroma of prunes, smoke, caramel, wood and alcohol. Pours pitch black color with thin creamy light brown head, yeast residue and sparkling appearance. Taste starts with sweet roasted malt and dried fruity acidity, following is smoky, earthy and grassy, mouthfeel is smooth, while finish is medium bitter. Full body, creamy texture and average carbonation in palate. Right state of beer...

15 August 2018. At Sir William's Pub, Ljubljana. Cheers to Anke!
Pours hazy black with a lasting, frothy, unstable, beige head; some lacing. Inviting aroma raisin, praliné, milk chocolate, salted peanut, caramel, brown bread, candied fig. Medium malty sweet onset, notes of chocolate & mocha with a peanutty edge; light roasted bitter middle with hints of fondant & coffee, although remaining creamy and even a bit fruity & raisin-like. Dryish, toasty finish, good touch of peppery hops, lingering cream & chocolate, warming coffee liqueur alcohol. Full body, creamy texture, soft carbonation. Balanced & tasty; surely one of the best beers on this trip; a must-try when in Ljubljana!

Pours deep black, topped with medium sized, coffee coloured head, slowly settling down. Medium roasty nose upfront, some bready notes and later on dry fruits and medium smokiness (woody). Taste follows the nsoe, roasty-smoky feela bit more pronounced, a hint of chocolate sweetness and mild bittery finish. Alcohol is superbly hidden, almost no trace of it. Body is full and silky. Very lovely, with smokiness just present enough to make in impact, but at the same tame mild enough to not take over.

On tap at Croatian Homebrew Competition 2018. Pitch black coloured, medium sized creamy beige head, caramel and dried fruits in the nose. Roasted malt, chocolate, dried fruits and notes of prunes and alcohol with sweetish roasty finish. Quite nice.
