Bottle shared with and massive thanks to Hrabren! The brewery tick I needed to complete all Croatian regions! Near black with a short lived tan head. Aroma of roast, oxidization, chocolate and caramel. Flavour is above moderate sweet and moderate bitter. Light medium bodied with light carbonation.

Bottle, 0.5l. Deep brown, almost black pour, huge frothy brown head. Very good retention, long lasting head, nice lacing on the glass as it goes down. Nice on the nose, toasted caramel, mild roast, nuts, chocolate notes. Subtle fruitiness in the background. Thin to medium body, lively carbonation. Average mouthfeel and texture, moderately chewy, fizzy, easily drinkable. Balanced bittersweet taste. Malty aroma, roasted malts, toasted caramel. Nuts, bready. Forest fruits, berries, hints of chocolate. Subtle stickiness, mild lingering roasty bitterness. Medium lasting finish, dry. Good.

On tap at Fakin Craft Bar, shared with Marko. Dark brown, small tan head. Roasty and toasty notes, some fruity esters, soft oxidation, slightly metallic. Creamy texture. A bit rough. Roasty and burnt. No fruity or hoppy character except for the bitter, finish that is also burnt and roasty.

Bottle, thanks Hrabren! Daaaark brown ale, tiny off white head. Slightly oily roasty maltiness in the aroma, dark chocolate. Dry taste, mildly phenolic-peppery, lightly roasty, some sweetish touches. A bit soapy near the finish. As Ogi has said, has homebrew character really, needs to be improved, but shows promise.

Bottled 500ml. -from Vrutak Zagreb. Almost black coloured, medium sized pale beige head, weak chocolate and whiff of coffee in the nose. Light roasted malt, chocolate, caramel, weak coffee and touch of hops with light roasty finish. Home brew character is evident and for sure this isn't brown ale.
