Draft at BeerGeek Bar, Prague. Pours dark amber with a beige head. Aroma of dark malts, citrus, pine notes. Taste follows nose with some chocolate coming through. Nice.

Bottle shared with Višnja and Marko. Thanks! Cola colour, minimal off-white head. Very nice roasty and chocolate profile, moderately hopped, nice herbal aroma. Quite dry and roasty. Full body, moderate to heavy carbonation, light roasty and hoppy finish. Good, but not impressive.

Bottled 330ml. -Darker brown coloured with ruby red glare, medium sized beige head, unpleasant sour nose. Moderate malty, light chocolate, some dried fruits with notes of tart cherries in the finish. Slightly vinous also. Not in the best shape. Pitty.

Bottled, thanks Mladjo! Dark brown, beige head. Tart berry aroma. Cherry chocolate pine herbal taste with mild bitterness aaaand tart. Damn, you can see that this is an excellent beer that?s not in shape. Bobane, moramo ovo probat opet. Boca je umrla..

Serbian BIPA (as few as five years ago, I could never having imagined using these two words combined) shared by markoijelena at RBBWG. Bubbly, pale greyish beige, moussy head, very dark chocolate brown colour, hazy, near to black. Aroma of caramel candy and toffee, wet leather, stewed bayleaf, soggy brown bread, black cherries, old brownies, pine resin, dried grapefruit peel. Clean fruitiness in the onset, dried raisin and fig, black olive-like umami edge, smooth and resinous mouthfeel; sourishness of roasted barley evident from the beginning and lasting till the end, underneath a rounded nutty malt bittersweetishness with a bitter chocolatey ’black’ touch but no coffee roastedness, spicy hop finish, grapefruity and piney, mildly but adequately bittering. Bit malt-forward perhaps for a BIPA, but otherwise very decent and highly enjoyable - but then I am a sucker for this style anyway.

Sampled at the RBBWG 2017. Thnx for sharing, everyone ! Pours rather clear, very dark brown. Small white head; Smell is sweet, dark malts. OK. Taste is mildly bitter; Some sweetness trough the roast. OK

Thank you markoijelena! 330 ml. bottle sampled @ RBBWG VI (2017). BBF 12-09-2017. Black, creamy tanned head. Nose is chocolate, mocha, toffee, sweet, faint mocha ice cream. Taste is basic one note flat herbal chocolate, thin herbal, soy sauce, grains, roast. Basic thin grainy roasted body, mocha. Decent but not a top example of the style for sure.

330ml bottle pours out dark brown almost black topped with a tan head. Nose is roast malts citrus fruit hops some ash. Taste is more of the nice citrus hops light roast malts some chocolate.
