Bottle at Žminjska školka, thx Seba! Ruby red, bit hazy. Oxidized-papery caramel and raisin aroma, some red wine underneath. Smooth red wine and raisin, bit minerally taste, peppery, low low tartness helping things along, very low astringeny and maybe trace acetic. Niiice!

Thanks to Travlr for sharing.. red. It looks like wine. Oak in the aroma and flavor, but no vanilla. Vinous, some carbonation on palate. --- Beer merged from original tick of Karatel on 20 Aug 2023 at 19:55 - Score: 7

19/2/2022. Bottle sample courtesy of MarkoNm, cheers. Pours hazy purple red with a small frothy off-white head. Aroma is woody, musty, blackberry, red grape, citrus, dark fruits. Moderate sweetness, light bitterness, touch of tart. Medium body, soft carbonation. Tannic finish. Good.

Bottle, 0.375l. Aroma of red wine, berries and wood with cellar note. Pours dark ruby color with medium sized frothy pink head, fair lacing and sparkling appearance. Taste starts light sweet grainy with weak red wine acidity, follows by tannins and yeast, mouthfeel is dry with more woody notes in the finish. Light to medium body, thin creamy texture and average carbonation in palate. I’m still whining…

Bottle. Dark ruby red, pinkish head, ok lasting. Gentle soury-tart nose with some berries, mostly blueberries helping it, gets more noticeable later on. Medium puckery sour, some nice grape and blueberry sweetness. Tart in the finish. Light. Fresh. Very drinkable. Great.
