(Can) Pours black with small tan head. Lovely intense aroma of chocolate, peanuts, with notes of coffee, wood and port. Full bodied, smooth, creamy with very fine carbonation. Great taste too - rich and nicely balanced. There’s quite a lot of sweetness but it’s well balanced with dark roast malt, dark chocolate and coffee bitterness, plus a tang and alcohol bite that reminds me of port. Very enjoyable.

Medium sized beige head. Full black. Chocolate on nose. Cannot feel coffee, neither peanut butter. Aroma sweet,creamy bit alcohol feeling. Medium body. Confusing beer. Sweet but without main ingredients feeling. Dry finish, lasting aftertaste. Better not-imperial version.

Sample at the brewery. Black! Small to medium tan head. Sugary, nutty, chocolate syrup, no peanut butter or peanut aroma but nice all the same, caramel, low to none roasty or coffee character. Sweet, syrupy flavour, chocolaty, vanilla, some alcohol, cherry or raspberry. Smooth texture, full, strong, slightly boozy. Ledolina beer! (I encourage my Croatian 30+ friends to compare it to legendary Ledolina ice cream :)

Can, I guess from either Spicy Days or Goblet. Ratebeer Zoom video conference tasting. Fukken hell. Pitch black, some off white head. Perfumey aroma, some orange candy mixing with peanuts and some chocolate, pungent, leaning towards cloying. Sweet taste, orange candy again, light peanuts as well, some light alcohol perhaps. In the end, too sweet, a bit too cloying. Odd, nice and not nice in the same blow. Odd. Some will love it but... eh.

Rating No. 10800 Canned 330ml. -from Goblet Zagreb. Pitch black coloured, medium sized brown head, chocolate and whiff of peanut butter in the nose. Roasted malt, chocolate, alcohol, discreet peanut butter and rather sweet finish. Drinkable.
