Bottle from Beerdome. Aroma is very nutty with pistachios, fairly strong honey, oak, soft whiskey, toffee, malt, caramel. Sweet flavour, a little alcohol. Full body, smooth and velvety mouthfeel. A lot going on, gorgeous nuts, smooth and balanced.

Bottled 330ml. -Courtesy of Marko, shared with him & Hrabren. Muddy amber/brown coloured, small pale beige head, light honey and alcohol in the nose. Very sweet malty, honey, pistachios indeed, touch of sugar and warming alcohol in the finish.

0.33l bottle from Base Camp. Murky brown body, tiny creamy beige head - gone soon! Smells like... yup... baklava, odd honey-nutty aroma, sugary, bit sticky, caramel, cocoa... Creamy taste, more baklava-like notes, walnut almost, cocoa, honey, light vanilla - what it says, there it is, warming slightly, light alcohol. A lovely pastry beer, just not getting much of the barrel.

0.33 l bottle thanks to Marko who brought it from Prague, shared with Ogi and him. Dark amber, small tan head. Aroma is alcohol, solvent, caramel, honey, nuts, earthy. Touch of brown bread and cocoa. Smooth, sticky and oily texture. Sweetness. Pistachio present. Malty, nutty, toasty, solvent flavour. Warming, strong. Some tartness, some sweetness. Finishes sweet. Doesn't resemble a baklava so much, because of the solvent.
