Bottle from Pomalo ZG, shared with Diano, Pave & Pave's brother. Black body with almost no (off-white) head. Raisins, green apple and thinner maltiness in the aroma, caramel later, cellary notes, with some creamy feeling, light chocolate, light alcohol and light oiliness popping up later on. A bit of a mess but shows promise. Shame about the acetaldehyde. Lean taste, coffee, roasty notes, nice light macchiato notes, light raisins, some brown sugar, some tartness and light alcohol. The taste is slightly too thin and it has some light issues, but a decent try with some interesting things going on for it. Not the best imperial stout ever, might've needed some more aging/conditioning (despite being a year old I think when released)... oh well. Not the only Croatian brewery having RIS issues with their first one.

Bottle, 0.75l. Black pour, no head. Average lacing on the glass. Nice on the nose, woody, liquory, roasted coffee notes. Dark fruits in the background. Medium body, average carbonation. Smooth mouthfeel and texture, mild fizzy, soft and chewy, easily drinkable. Roasty bittersweet taste. Aroma of roasted malt, coffee and chocolate. Bready and nutty notes. Wood, licorice. Dried dark fruits. Boozy, warming alcohol. Dry and sticky. Long lasting finish, lingering alcohol. Pretty good.

Bottle from Pomalo I guess... Hazy golden body, white head. Weird aroma, some stale, sweaty notes, oxidation, some citric hoppy notes, maybe tropical, almost light cardboard, huh. Nicer taste, lean, light, vaguely sweetish, citric. Dunno, okay, little to no bitterness. The body doesn't call for more somehow.

0.5 l bottle at Kai Street Food, Zagreb. Clear golden, small off-white head. Aroma is buttery at first, then nice grainy and malty, but rather unclean fruity profile, hints of strawberry or ripe stone fruit. Low hoppy profile. Sweet, grainy, malty flavour, buttery sweetness and slickness. Very low bitterness. Light body, moderate carbonation, light finish.
