Appearance- coca-cola brown, murky, a small fizzy head which disappears quickly. Aroma- plenty of smoke, roast malt hints, traces of sugary dark fruit, smoked meat. Taste- juicy dark fruit, grape juice, caramel malt, chocolate, brown sugar, dessert wine, smoked ham, pecan pie, dates, barbecued meat. Sweet malty finish. Mouthfeel slightly watery. Pretty good, and complex.

hazy brown colour, minimal off-white head, which disappears fully within a minute; aroma of smoked ham and cheese, woody notes, some bread, maybe chocolate; taste is like the aroma and also dominated by smoke; really good

Got this at Pivoteka, shared with Hrabren, Goran and Višnja. Poured a murky dark amber/brown body, nice. Small off white head. Huge smoked ham aroma, actually feels slightly salty. The same continued on into the taste, with mild mild peachy notes, vague caramel too. Actually pleasant, damn nice and very drinkable - one of the best non-Schlenkerla smoked beers I’ve tried.

0.33 l bottle from Pivoteka Zagreb. Shared with Vi?nja and Goran and Marko. Hazy reddish brown with small off white head. Smoked meat, pr?ut, prosciutto, dry fruits and caramel in the background. Light to medium body, but very aromatic, medium smoked. Sweet with roasty smoked character, but lacks texture. Gentle smoked finish. Nice balance.
