Dark brown colour, small beige head. Toasted toffee cognac aroma, some booze too. Medium-bodied. Toasted flavour with light smoke, cognac and yes, grapes. Simple overall as expected from Baltic Porter.

0.33 l bottle at Goblet Beer Store, Zagreb. Shared with PH Pit and Peurača. Dark brown, ochre tint. Light roasty aromas, caramel, malts, spices and alcohol. Chewy roasty texture, spicy and fruity flavour, dark malts, caramel. Smooth, strong but drinkable. Quite subtle, not as rich as expected from the style.

Õlle on selline jook, et iga uus kord kui klaasi või pudeli suule tõstad, siis leiad midagi uut, sõltuvalt tuhandest-miljonist pisiasjast, mis hetke olukorda mõjutavad. Seega piirdun iga õlle juures selle tekstiga.

Bottle. Black pour. Aroma of soft smoke, caramel, licorice, soft roasted malt, red grape and molasses. Taste has soft caramel, smooth roasted malt, subtle smoke, licorice, bitter chocolate, mocha coffee, red grape, oak, blueberries and a little blackberry. Beer had to breath a little to come loose, but after a few minutes a lot of vineus red fruit flavors came up, all nicely integrated in the malty base. Very elegant and tasty, not an explosion, but a gentle wave of flavor.
