Rocky off white head stayed on a reddish brown still body. Malt, demerara & spices aroma. Medium bodied, nice carbonation over the tongue with a clean back. Red berries, spices, tea, malt & demerara tastes. Nice...

Bottle, 0.5l. Clear dark amber pour, one finger frothy off-white head. Medium retention, ok lacing. Caramel on the nose, spicy herbal background. Thin to medium body, medium to high carbonation. Light texture, prickly on the tongue. Bittersweet taste, slightly roasted. Aroma of caramel and roasted malts, herbs and spices. Peppery. Some wheat notes. Mildly bitter finish, slightly dry. Overall, drinkable but not something I'd go back to. Generic.

Bottled 500ml. -from Pivoteka Zagreb. Clear amber coloured, medium sized off-white head, hops and caramel in the nose. Sweet malty, caramel, herbal hops and touch of metal with rather dry and moderate bitter finish. Drinkable but boring.

Dark amber body, off white head. Dry malty aroma, figs and light herbal touches. Dry light malty taste, some honeyish soft touches. Solid beer overall, but not my type.

500ml bottle: BBD Dec 17. Drank at a mates house on 4th July 17. Amber pour, beige head. Dank hops vie with the malt content in both the nose and taste, fairly even in the aroma stakes, hops win in the flavour race, it’s a bitter tasting beer and I liked it.
