0,5 l bottle from Pomalo Beer Shop, Zagreb. Shared with Marko. Clear golden, small off-white head. The aroma is grainy with a significant hoppy element, earthy, leaves, spicy, a touch of butter, a touch of grass. Quite bitter, a tart note, grainy background, some sweetness. Moderate to high carbonation, light body, lively texture, light dry and bitter finish. Average blonde.

Bottle, 0.5l. Hazy, deep amber/brown pour, half finger soapy off-white head, medium lasting. Minimal lacing on the glass. Sweet and malty nose, toasted caramel, herbs, grass, ripe fruits. Medium body, soft carbonation, lively. Average mouthfeel and texture, soft, mild, some chewiness to it. Sweet taste with moderate bitterness in the background, seems slightly off-placed. Aroma of toasted caramel, molasses, ripe fruits. Herbs and spices, wood notes. Grainy, nutty. Warming alcohol, mild stickiness. Medium lasting finish, dry, lingering bitterness, slightly boozy. Not bad. Bitterness in the background seems a bit out of place but overall it's not that big of a deal. Solid.

Bottle, 0.5l. Deep copper pour, one finger frothy off-white head, good retention. Nice lacing on the glass. Nose is somewhat on the sour side, citric acid, citruses, hints of stale grass, some herbal notes. Medium body, soft carbonation. Smooth mouthfeel and texture, soft, chewy, nice on the palate. Easily drinkable. Bitter taste with strong herbal aroma. Grassy hops, herbs and spices, citruses. Earthy notes, minerals. Lingering bitterness that slowly builds up, I like that, nicely balanced. Short to medium lasting finish, bitter. Good one.

Bottle, 0.5l. Hazy copper pour, one finger soapy white head. Medium lasting, ok retention, minimal lacing on the glass. Refreshing on the nose, fruity, citrus notes, floral, grassy background. Light body, medium carbonation. Refreshingly fizzy, prickly mouthfeel, somewhat watery texture. Bittersweet taste with mild sour citrus notes. Aroma is pretty much as expected, no surprises here but it works well. Citruses, herbs, grass. Floral notes, slightly yeasty, hints of honey in the background. Earthy, minerals. Subtle lingering bitterness, slightly dry. Short lasting finish. Decent but pretty much average. No real surprises here.

Bottle, 0.33l. Murky deep amber/brown pour, no head. Interesting on the nose, sweet and sour, malty, liquory, woody and herbal notes. Light to medium body, average carbonation, lively on the tongue. Average mouthfeel and texture, fizzy, slightly chewy. Strong herbal bitter taste with moderate malt sweetness in the background. Aroma is heavy on the malt, strong caramel, toasted, moderately smoked. Strong herbal notes, bitter, perhaps a bit harsh at times but somehow I like it. Nuts, bready, ripe fruits, toffee. Woody and liquory notes in the background, gives the impression of higher ABV. Quite sticky, a bit dry. Long lasting finish, herbal, lingering bitterness. Interesting brew. Quite enjoyable but definitely not for everyone. Good one.

Thanks H! Murky red-amber body, off white head. Creamy, light hoppy, cherry and flowery notes before the barrel shows up, though not in full force. Hmm. Lean but sweet taste, woody notes, barrel, tannins, damn... some flowery and orange notes, but killed by tannins that go in a heavy bitter finish that additionally puts this off balance. Sadly, the aging didn't help it much.

Bottle, courtesy of Hrabren (pretty positive about that at least), huge thanks! Well - as you can see from earlier ratings, this was a pretty divisive beer, mostly disliked, so I didn't have too high expectations. Fairly dark ruby body, tiny off white head. Full on spicy aroma, ginger mostly, then cloves, then some nutmeg and some cinnamon, in that order, fairly pleasant. The taste is surprisingly thin, perfumey, with cloves winning out there, slightly dusty. Basically spicy water, zero stout character - as a stout, it's a failure, as a spiced beer, it's nice. Clean, however, and I'm not getting any slightly off notes some early adopters mentioned, so the several months it had in random fridges must have helped it at least a little, and it seems more mellow than some descriptions.
