Bottle, 0.33l. Black pour, no head. Interesting on the nose, wood notes, liquor pralines, berries, raisins, slightly sourish.
Medium body, low carbonation. Smooth and surprisingly lightweight mouthfeel and texture, easily drinkable, slightly sticky. Balanced sweet and sour taste with bitterness lingering in the background. Aroma of dried fruits and berries, raisins, plum. Sour and tart. Malty backbone, toasted caramel, molasses, coffee. Bready notes, oak, liquor. Some red wine vibes in there as well. Quite interesting. Long lasting finish, dry, slightly boozy, lingering roasty bitterness.
Quite interesting.

Bottled 330ml. -from Goblet Zagreb. Pitch black coloured, small brown head that went away fast, dried fruits and noticable barrel in the nose. Dried fruits, alcohol, wet wood and port barrel with warming finish.

0.33 l bottle thanks to Marko, shared with him. Dark brown with a reddish hue. Aroma is intense vinous at first, prunes, dried fruit, rum soaked raisins, dark fruit, berries' skins, blackberry, blueberry. Behind it, lots of wood, oak, charred wood. Rich, quite complex, good balance, alcohol hidden. Hint of overripe and tart fruit. Barrel slightly overwhelming, soft roasty and chocolate background. Smooth, oily, soft texture. Slightly tart and vinous. Soft astringent oaky note. Dry. Medium body. Fruity flavour, cherry brandy, dark fruit, toasty and charred wood. Raisins. Lasting fruity finish.

0.33l bottle, enormous thanks Dime! Shared wirth Hrabren and, technically, Ogi as well. Very dark brown body, no head. Buttery raisiny, enormous barrel aroma, port wine all over the place. dried fruit, tobacco, mild peat even, gets better and better as you smell it, very complex, very interesting. Drier taste than expected, plenty of raisins, well held in check, mild tartness somewhere there, very well hidden alcohol, light light tannins creating very low astringency, but the balance otherwise makes sense. Really fun, interesting experiment, not a world beater, but it was defintiely a mostly positive, unique experience.
