Taste comprises toffee, sugars, dates, stewed fruits, brown bread. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Decent enough for the style if a touch sweet.

Bottle, 0.5l. Cloudy golden pour, one finger soapy white head, quickly diminishing. Gone in 60 seconds, leaving pretty much zero lacing. Unimpressive nose, herbal and grainy. Thin body, medium carbonation. Light and watery texture. Taste is mildly bitter, somewhat harsh and unpleasant. Aroma.... Well, not too good. Grains. Grass. Cardboard. Has something that strongly reminds me of non-alcoholic beers, and that is not good. Not good at all. Some isotonic tartness, can't describe it well. Finishes mildly bitter. Overall... No. Just no. No use mincing my words here - it's crap. Barely drinkable. Meh.

Bottle, 0.5l. Pours clear, dark amber body with small beige head. Nose very similar to Velebitsko Tamno, caramel and honey, quite herbal. Some cardboard off-notes. Medium body with average to high carbonation. Slick texture. Slightly charred bittersweet taste. Aroma strikes me as watered down Velebitsko Tamno - pretty much the same thing, but subdued and with lower ABV. A bit more grainy character. Caramel malts, herbs, slight honey. Metallic acidity in the aftertaste. Regular finish, slightly bitter. Overall, drinkable. Not bad, but could be better.

Bottle, 0.5l. Pours thick dark ruby, almost black body with thin layer of beige head on top. Ok lacing. Intense smell. Lots of caramel. Very herbal with notes of honey. Medium body, softly carbonated. Average texture, slightly thick. Mostly sweet, slightly charred with some bitter notes in the aftertaste. Aroma dominated by caramel malts and herbs. Slightly peppery. Notes of honey, feels a bit sticky. Aftertaste slightly charred, woody, a bit smoked. Mild bitterness in the finish, slight metal presence. Overall, pretty good value for money. Quite decent.
