A beer from Zagreb, which holds a bit of mystery for me being in one of two European countries that I've visited, but have never got to its capital yet. The other is Finland. Black with no head, its strength very well hidden behind the lightly salted and flavoursome caramels and chocolate. Aroma similar but slightly less stated, texture is thick but smooth and has a good mouthfeel.

440ml can from Asda. Nice black pour but a brief tanned fizzy head. Aroma of chocolate biscuit and the salted caramel - quite rich and fairly sweet with a light Neapolitan creaminess. Taste follows the same path with a moderate but building bitterness in the finish to offset the sweetness. Medium to full bodied.
I can see that a lot of different malts were used but the adjuncts dominate any malt complexity except for a general flavour of richness. Good stuff but not next level for an imperial stout.

Almost black. Aroma is toffee vanilla cocoa light rice, very deep and rich. Taste is sweet toffee with some lactose and a hint of booze and light bitterness. Quite creamy dense body with almost too much sweetness but still fine. Rich and soothing.

Dark brown color with medium beige head. Aroma: creamy, shit loads of lactose, biscuit, toffee, coffee. Taste: creamy, dark chocolate, dark roast coffee, burnt caramel, walnut waffers coated in dark chocolate. Full bodied, low to moderate carbonation, moderate bitterness. Ok, ABV well integrated, creamy and smooth, bit too much of roasted character.
