A silky and robust Baltic porter reminiscent of raisin, burnt caramel, roasted coffee and molasses. Very malty and somewhat sweet, it finishes with a dry and balanced bitter taste. The aroma is molasses and malt. Like a moderately hopped bock, with chocolate and coffee notes. This brew is bottom fermented and well rounded, with its potency hidden in its easy-drinking quality. Rummy, raisin and licorice notes similar to an old ale reside in the profile. The character also has hints of chocolate and coffee, and at times, a roasted background.

Craft TCR Bottleshare. Thanks to Dan the man for the can. Almost clear amber - brown beer, small pale tan head. Smooth light palate, decent nippy fine carbonation. Soft dark malts, sweetish. Floral chocolate and fruity chocolate. Mild spice. Light finish. Pretty tasty.

Clear, dark brown to black colored, medium- frothy tan head, not that lasting. Aroma is of roasted malt, burnt sugar, dark fruit, coffee, some molasses, some alcohol. Taste is medium to very sweet malt, roasted and coffee, burnt sugar, caramel, dark fruit, molasses, raisins, medium- roasty bitterness, bit of alcohol with some warmth in the finish, sweetish finish. Medium to full bodied, soft+ carbonation, oily to sticky. Very nice, gonna age a few cans and see what happens! (can, Pivoteka, Zagreb)

Can at Pivoteka. Cleat chestnut brown, off white head. Sweetish aroma, coffee, paprika, caramel, vague alcohol, really specific. Sweetish, slick taste, dry maltiness, paprika, bit chocolatey. Ends quite dry. Nice really, specific, strange, value for money.
