0, 5 l on tap at Zmajska Pivovara Taproom. Pours almost dark brown with typical nitro head with reasonable retention. Aroma of cocoa, licorice, roasted malt, some caramel. Taste is low sweet and medium bitter. Body is quite light. Finish packs a nice bitter kick. A bit watery, but it has a nice character and is well executed, as expected from Zmajska Pivovara.

On tap at Zmajska Pivovara, Zagreb, Croatia, Friday 29th August 2025 after a 6-7 hour drive from home. Pours black with a cracker of a beige head, looks great. Nice roasty notes, light coffee and with a toastiness, this is lovely, creamy mouthfeel. Good.

Tap at the brewery taphouse. Thin body, medium carbonation. Med-high bitterness, low sweetness. Lots of roasted coffeeish character, a bit ashy/burnt. Good, tasty, not great though.

Nitro tap at the Goblet Beer Store Zagreb. Dark brown to black, small beige head. Toasty, coffee aroma with a touch of chocolate. Smooth, light, roasty, tart. Burnt. More character than your everyday nitro stout. Light finish, tart burnt with minimal bitterness.
