0.33 l bottle thanks to Ogi who brought it from Ljubljana, shared with Marko and him. Dark brown, small beige head. Aroma is dark malts, roasty, burnt toast, burnt plastic, black pepper and cardboard. Smooth, light body, hints of acidity and possible infection, roasty flavour, some licorice, black olives, dark caramel. Salt slightly gives it a push, soft carbonation, dry abrupt finish.

0.33l bottle, thx Ogi for sharing with us. Very dark brown body, off-white head. Coffee completely dominates the aroma, maybe a little salty, not too caramelly, somewhat roasty. Lean, dry taste, coffee, plenty of salted caramel, leaning on salted licorice / salmiakky vaguely even. Light phenolic touches. Dry enough to be a bit drinkable, definitely salty this time (batch from July 4th 2025). Fresh enough for the phenolic touches to show only a little. The bottle conditioning really doesn't help their beers much. Okay.

Bottle. Pours black with beige head. Nose is earthy notes and coffee with some additional sweetness that has reminisence of caramel. Taste is slight coffee, undefined sweetness and some earthy notes with a long lasting, sweet (and slightly caramel-y) finish. Light bodied with soft carbonation, pretty easy to drink. Not bad, but I don't quite get the caramel and there's no salt in there whatsoever.

Bottle, 0.33l. Aroma of roasted malt, coffee, caramel and vanilla. Pours almost black color with with thin quickly diminishing light brown head and soft visible carbonation. Taste starts with light to medium sweet roasted malt and licorice, follows by slightly sour coffee, sweet caramel, dark chocolate, dark fruit and faint salty hint, mouthfeel is smooth but finishes rather dry, while finish is mild bitter. Medium body, creamy texture and carbonation in palate. Big surprise...
