Black pour just like lion stout with a big coffee aroma. Actually pretty decent cold brew style. Roast and dark chocolate as well. It is too sweet as others have said, but I’ve had way worse on that front. Pretty good overall
gave a cheers!

Bottle, 0.33l. Black pour, no head. No lacing. Intense on the nose, strong caramel and cocoa notes, seems quite on the sweet side. Thin body, soft carbonation. Light mouthfeel and texture, soft and smooth. Intense sweet taste, a bit cloying actually. Tons of sugar in this one. Aroma of sugar, molasses, caramel, toffee and cocoa powder. Coffee and cappuccino. Short finish. Not so good. Way too sweet for my taste, not something I'd pick up again.

Bottle at Veliki Tolk, Zagreb. Black almost no head. Strong coffee aroma and taste, roasted, burnt coffee, malty, sugar, sweet like hell, bit watery and thin. Light to medium bodied. Can't remember a beer with such a nice aroma tasting that bad. Sweet to the point of being barely drinkable. Wow.

0.33 l bottle from Pivoteka, Zagreb. Shared with Mlađo. Murky dark brown, minimal head. Aroma is not bad, coffee is here, caramel a bit overwhelming, brown sugar, coffee cake, not very sophisticated, a bit fake, like a coffee-chocolate candy, sugary. Flavour is very sweet. Like someone put three spoons of sugar in an espresso shot. Some plastic phenols strike. Not very smooth, light body, very sugary finish, hard to drink. They put some coffee-molasses mixture in it or something. All in all quite fake, badly executed, misses the style by stretching so much to the sweet side. Doesn't seem natural, it's strange and sloppy.

330 ml bottle into pint glass, 1710061248 bottle code. Pours crystal clear very dark brown color with a 1 finger fairly dense light khaki head with good retention, that reduces to a thin spotty lace cap that lingers. Minimal spotty lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Good appearance. Aromas of big nutty medium roast coffee, milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, caramel, brown sugar, toffee, fudge, and toasted dark/brown bread; with light notes of vanilla, dark fruit, herbal, grass, and yeast/roast/toasted earthiness. Very nice aromas with good balance and complexity of dark/roast/bready malt, coffee, and light fruity yeast/earthy hop notes; with great strength. Taste of big nutty medium roast coffee, milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, caramel, brown sugar, toffee, fudge, and toasted dark/brown bread; with light notes of vanilla, dark fruit, herbal, grass, and yeast/roast/toasted earthiness. Very mild herbal/grassy hop and roasted coffee bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of nutty coffee, milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, caramel, brown sugar, toffee, fudge, toasted dark/brown bread, vanilla, light dark fruit/herbal, and yeast/roast/toasted earthiness on the finish for a while. Very nice complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast/bready malt, coffee, and light fruity yeast/earthy hop flavors; with a solid roast/hop bitter/sweet balance; and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering hop/roast bitterness. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/bready/grainy, and lightly sticky/chalky mouthfeel that is nice. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 4.8%. Overall this is a very nice English coffee stout. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast/bready malt, coffee, and light fruity yeast/earthy hop flavors; very smooth and easy to drink with the minimally bitter/drying finish. Very flavorful and not watery for the ABV. Great balance of fruity/nutty coffee and nicely rich malt complexity; with mild earthy hops against sweetness. A very enjoyable offering, and well made style example.

Bottled 330ml. -from Pivoteka Zagreb. Black coloured, medium sized cappucchino head, coffee and lactose in the nose. Light roasted malt, strong sweetened coffee, caramel and lactose with notes of ice coffee as well. Bit artificial milky and dryish sweet finish. A way too sweet overall. Pitty.

Bottle from Curry Bowl, Zagreb, with some superb kothu - enormous thanks Brian and Renato! Blackish body, scant, almost no tan head. Coffee drowned in a ton of caramel, sweetish aroma. Taste... sweet malty taste, the coffee coming quite a bit behind, serving as a mild attempt at a counterpoint, but I do wish they amped it up. It's a nice sweet beer, going well with spicy local food in a way, but taken out of context, which it was probably made for, isn't the "coffee stout" we are used to. It's fantastic (and an honor) to be he first to try and rate it!
