Tomislav, made with 17.75% malt extract, is the strongest beer in Croatia, introduced in 1925. The use of double malted barley gives this dark lager its full taste and special aroma, much appreciated by connoisseurs. Tomislav pivo has an alcohol content of 7.3% vol, and should be served at 8° C.

500ml bottle from Studenac Market in Dubrovnik, Croatia. Pours an opaque dark brown color with dark mahogany highlights, a beige head, and great retention. Good lacing. Surprisingly subtle dark malt aroma. The dark malt flavor is stronger than the aroma, but overall there's not much porter flavor IMHO. The 7.3% ABV is very evident in the finish. Strong yet smooth. Medium body. Light carbonation. Low bitterness. More booze than substance, which is typical for a Baltic porter.

500ml bottle [courtesy of Lukas - thanks a lot!]. Jet black colour with average to huge, dense, creamy, moderately lasting and lacing, beige head. Relatively weak, minimally bready, minimally roasty, dark and caramel malty aroma, hints of toffee, a touch of pumpernickel. Taste is roasty, dark malty and sweet-ish, caramel malty, minimally yeasty fruity and mildly bitter hoppy, hints of toffee, liquorice, coffee grounds, a touch of plum, caramel, pumpernickel, minimally metallic overtones.
Dissolved sugar enriched, watery texture, smooth and soft, minimally cloying, simultaneously minimally dry palate, medium to fine, dense, creamy carbonation.
A tad sugary and metallic - OK.

A .50 liter draft at a delightful outdoor cafe inside the walled portion of Split today. It arrived absolutely black finished by a proper cover of light tan, quite fine bubbles. I found it heavy with malt, chocolate, grain and a faint touch of herbal. A pleasant time spent sipping on this beer, likely the best of the local beers I have consumed on our holiday through the Mediterranean.
