Can from Beer52. Black with a quickly fading fizzy tanned head. Big coffee aroma which dominates, roast and vanilla also notable but not picking up the caramel. Coffee, roast and sweet vanilla up front in the flavour, tangy and bitter. Caramel more notable in taste but doesn't soften this beer towards moreish. Medium to full bodied, oily to sticky, semi-dry. The balance is out on the flavours with this one. Disappointing.

Limenka 0,33L - mislim da je kupljena u Lidlu - kava dominira u okusu, alkohol neprimjetan, okey stout

Can, 0.33l. Aroma of coffee, roasted malt and caramel. Pours cloudy dark brown color with medium sized soapy light brown head and sparkling appearance. Taste starts with medium sweet chocolate, caramel and coffee, follows dried fruity with vanilla note, mouthfeel is smooth and warm, while finish is mild bitter. Full body, thick texture and average carbonation in palate. Tzar…

Can from Beer 52 – drank at home. Pours almost black with a sizeable but transient chocolate head. The nose reeks of alcohol, but also some coffee and hints of dark fruits. In the mouth there’s bitter coffee grounds on top with caramel and vanilla mixing together underneath. The coffee gradually mellows to give a slightly sweet finish. This is gorgeous – probably the best beer I’ve ever had from Garden.

Can, thx Hrabren! Dark brown body, off-white head. Dark malts in the slightly sweaty aroma, light raisins, dark bread, maybe caramel, toffee, feels a bit old. Very lean body, light vanilla, light caramel, some chocolate, tracec coffee. Quite muddled. Not Garden's best beer.

Can, 0.33l. Black pour, one finger frothy beige head, medium retention. Broken lacing on the glass. Roasty nose, coffee, forest fruits, berries, mild ashy notes in the background. Medium body, average carbonation. Smooth mouthfeel and texture, surprisingly lightweight, easily drinkable. Balanced bittersweet taste with subtle fruity tart in the background. Aroma of roasted malt, coffee, caramel. Forest fruits, berries. Vanilla in the background, coffee pretty much dominating. Medium lasting finish, dry and roasty. Quite solid but body is a bit lacking. Decent.

[33cl can from Beer52.] A glossy black pour with a ring of tan head; rich aroma of coffee, vanilla and caramel; rather thin in the mouth with a rich and bitter coffee taste; then some caramel and a satisfying finish; the alcohol isn't obvious in the throat and body, but seems to rush straight to the head. A numbingly good imperial stout.
