Royal Duck je pivo z dušo. Varimo ga le ob polni luni, ko se na Breznici iz starih vojaških kavern zasliši šepet vojakov, ki so tu bivali med vojno. Telo je črno kot noč, gosto kot sirup in hmeljeno s tremi krepko močnimi, aromatičnimi hmelji. Visoka alkoholna stopnja prepreči nadaljne in nekontrolirano popivanje, ki se za to pivo ne spodobi.
No ja…… razen, če si pivovar 🙂 😉

0.33l bottle. Aroma of roasted malt, coffee, dark chocolate and dried fruit. Pours almost black color with thin creamy light brown head and fair lacing. Taste starts with rich roasted malt and coffee, following is piney and refreshing citrusy, mouthfeel is smooth, while finish is heavy bitter. Full body, oily texture and lively carbonation in palate. Big black duck…

Bottled@HBF2018. Ambery brown colour with a mediumsized beige head, that leaves some lace. Aroma is citrus, some toffee, mild chocolate and some wee bit toasted notes. Flavour is fruity, nectary, chocolaty and some mild toasted notes. Very nicely balanced and also alcohol is hidden.

Taster from tap at William's pub, Ljubljana. Dark brown to black. Tan head. Moderately hoppy, fruity, roasty. Fruity and tart flavours along with heavy roasty. Nice balance. Drinkable. No sign of the 9.

Bottle, 0.75l. Thick black pour, one finger creamy brown head. Long lasting, excellent retention. Nice lacing as it goes down. Very nice on the nose, mild roasty with lots of citrus and tropical fruit notes. Lovely. Medium body, soft carbonation. Soft mouthfeel, creamy texture. Roasty bitter taste with slight fruity tart and mild sweetness beneath. Aroma of roasted malts, caramel, herbal liquor. Citrus fruits, pine, herbs. Slight cocoa. Notable alcohol presence, dry and nicely warming. Medium to long lasting finish. Damn fine brew. Perhaps the best I had from this brewery. Tasty.

Pours pitch black, topped with a large, fluffy and pretty lasting beige head. Very intense and pleasant tropical fruits aroma with pineapple, mango, passion fruit and lots of citruses. Some mild maltiness as this fruitiness mellows down a bit. Medium bitterness with hints of fruity sweetness, some very very mild chocolate and lasting bittery aftertaste with some alcohol warmth. Very aromatic and nicely tasting. Medium full body.
