Bottle courtesy of Axel, shared in Rome-Italy with Mortlach. Pours black with reddish highlights, ivory foam. Nose: chocolate, a bit under-fermented Kabinet note :-( Mouth: messy, a bit over-carbonated, chaotic. Did not get it, perhaps a bad bottle which suffered. I will drink it again and re-rate.

330ml bottle shared by ippopotamo36 (thanks Alberto!). Pours deep brown with a minimal head. Aroma is chaotic and messy, cocoa powder, light metallic notes. Flavour is terrible, watery, totally nonsense... so sweet in the end and rough. Light body, light carbonation. Meh!

Pours a black colour with a small beige head. Smell is roasted malts and chocolate. Rich, complex, smooth. Roasted malts, coffee grains, chocolate, berries... Excellent stuff. Full body with medium carbonation, feels silky smooth on the tongue. Finish is dominated by fruits and alcohol. Overall, this is a damn good porter. Love it!

Shared 330 ml bottle at local tasting. My first beer actually brewed in Serbia (though registered under Croatia at RB). Black (or very dark brown) colour, tan head. Aroma of slightly sour mash and roast malts. Dry flavour, roast malts and coffee, not bad but a bit one-dimensional.

0,33 flaske på RBHD-treff hos Asle Bjørn: brunsvart med fint skum. Fin aroma av mørke bær, mørkrøstet malt og kaffe. Fin og balanset i smaken, med en fruktig og samtidig tørr smak som gjør at den glir ubekymret over drøvelen.

33cl courtesy of and shared with Tderoeck. BB 23/12/2015. Brune léger, col moyen blanc-cassé. Arôme au bouquet grains, euro tchèque très prononcé, au du moins prenant un caractère typique pour des bières de cette partie d’Europe. Je note peu en terme de houblons. Palais est malté moyen, légère note de levure avec un petit côté caractéristique tchèque. Pointe de chocolat mais au final peu convaincante au niveau porter.

12oz bottle from Magic Beer Cellar in Zagreb pours a murky deep brown with some frothy, off white head. Nose has dark chocolate and toast, bread crust, some dusty grist, light brown sugar. Flavor has chocolate, molasses, malt, roast, some mocha, bread crust. Full bodied, just slightly sweet finish. Solid.

Bottle, 0.33l. Hazy dark brown color with large soapy light brown head and sparkling appearance. Aroma of roasted malt, coffee, dark fruits, herbs and honey. Taste starts light sweet and sour grainy, follows by mild roasted malt, chocolate and dark fruity acidity, mouthfeel is warming, while finish is mild bitter and spicy. Medium body, creamy texture and average carbonation in palate. More fruity porter than roasted, therefore very refreshing...
