Quite good beer with fruity and dried fruits aroma and flavour. Also hoppiness is there. This beer is nicely balanced.

Update: Fresh bottle. Thanks to the Oldbridž people who sent it to Split for the local crew to try! Poured a veeery dark amberish brown body with an off white head that went away slowly. Lovely heavy sweet aroma, caramel, malt, raisins, somehow fresh and not cloying. Nice! That carries on into the taste - similar notes of caramel, light chocolate, light roast, sweetish but avoids being cloying. Finishes kinda dry. Light orange note. In its true, proper form, this is definitely a very good beer. Old review, before they fixed their issues: Thanks Reno & Riba! Poured a murky brown body with a small off white head. Slightly sourish, slightly phenolic aroma, eh? Taste... bitter, roasty, orange peel... perfumey... Slightly sour though. Interesting, and would likely be a nice, if rough around the edges beer if not for the huge problem they seem to have with infection/sourness. It’s still good in a way in my opinion, but it underperforms and never fulfills its potential. 4/3/6/3/13

Bottled 330ml. -Courtesy of Marko, shared with him and others. What a gusher, half of beer is all over Marko’s kitchen, window, fridge etc...Black coloured, medium sized brown head, slightly acidic nose. Roasted malt, dark chocolate, licorice, notes of cocoa and acidic dried fruits. Have to try it fresh again.

Jul ’14. A 0.33 l bottle, courtesy of Marko, huge thanks for sharing another rare gem! It poured hazy brown body with medium sized buff head. Fine orange hop and caramel, raisins malt aroma. Flavor was both bitter and sweet, however more bitterness came from the roasted malt - burnt sugar, a bit of coffee, roasted bread (rye part I guess) than from proper hops which were citric and very suitable for the style. Alcohol was perfectly hidden in its medium to full body. Finish was long, pleasant, lightly sweet and much less bitter than flavor. Nice and pleasant dark IPA, it would only be better, regarding the style that it had more hops and bitterness.

Jul ’14. A 0.33 l bottle, courtesy of Marko, huge thanks for sharing! It poured nice hazy orange body with a small head atop. Really nice aroma, some malt, fruity sweetish and a bit hoppy. Flavor was also malty, lightly sweet but mostly just sour yoghurt, vinegar and rotten lemon. Medium bodied. Too bad it was off. I just hope it was that bottle or batch or whatever. It definitely shows qualities and nice intentions, at least in aroma and desperately needs a rerate.

Jun. ’14. A 0.33 l bottle, another one Marko’s, great thanks for sharing! It poured hazy dark brown body with medium to big tan head. Herbal hoppy and a bit smoked, peaty aroma. Flavor was nice, herbal again a bit sourish and really smoked, not only peat but some bacon or such serious stuff. Medium bodied, nice long finish, lightly sweetish with caramel and rounded with dry herbs. Very good, better than the other two "regulars" I tried.

At a private tasting in Serbia with markoijelena and luttonm. Matt has brought a few bottles of this new brewery, including this one. All of them were terribly awful, infected, kind of a beer still under fermentation with lively yeast working in the bottle. Away from these beers until they will learn some basic rules how to perform a quality check before bottling.
