Bottled 500ml. -from Gušt Pub Celje, shared with Hrabren. Dark amber coloured, medium sized pale beige head, peat and light alcohol in the nose. Sweet malty, caramel, light nutty and notes of dried fruits with noticable peat. Bit sweet but ok.

0.5 l bottle shared with Ogi who brought it from Slovenia, thanks. Unclear copper, medium to large off-white head. Light peated smoke, toasty malts, bread, spice, strawberry jam and candy aroma. Light smokiness throughout, good balance, red fruit flavour, caramel, a bit too sweet. Soft and creamy texture, cloying, no astringency. Light sweet finish with a peated touch. A bit tiring but nice overall.

Bottle Pours dark amber with quickly dissappearing head. Smoked and bit peated tones on nose. Very gentle though. Tastes sweetish, decent peated feel, almost like a low voltage whiskey. Bit sharp carbonation to my taste. Interesting over boil, but much less peated as I was expecting.

Bottle. Clear, darker red/brown, thin offwhite head, nonlasting. Gentle smokey nose, peated, with some mild sweetness. As it warms up it gets a bit more pronounced. Sweet taste - berries and dry fruits. Moderate bitterness later on, peppery finish. A bit lighter in the body.
