8.4/10 Appearance 10 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 8.5
Pours a very hazy, dark amber color, topped with a fairly large and nicely lasting beige creamy head. Aroma is a combo of biscuity malt (some caramel way in the back) and sweet fruity notes. Initially malt is a bit more dominant, later on hoppy fruitiness. Taste is a bit more gentle but very pleasant. Slight sweetness upfront, followed by a medium hoppy bitterness. Going into aftertastem finishing with a touch of biscuity malty feel. Medium light beer, a bit more gentle but full of taste. Nice

Bottle, 500 ml from Pivoljub. Shared with Miro B. Pours dark brown, almost no head. Mostly acidic, something went wrong here. Looks like it’s a bad batch from summer ’15. Should re-rate,

On tap at the taproom. Pours a dark brown, topped with a medium sized cream head. Mild chocolate aroma initially. Get stronger later on, some vanilla joins in as well as hints of orange - reminiscent of Jaffa cakes. Taste is minimall sweet, tad of roastiness and a nice bitterness in the finish. Slight roasty aftertaste. Very nice.

Bottle, 0.50l, shared with colleagues. Pours hazy deep amber color with small creamy white head, nice lacing and soft visible carbonation. Aroma of tropical fruits, citrus, herbs and pepper. Taste starts with moderate sweet caramel malt, follows fruity and herbal, then medicinal with rather dry mouthfeel and bitter finish. Medium body, oily texture and average carbonation in palate. Disappointment, expected much more, but it seems I have to get used to Carniola failures...

0.5 l bottle from Pivoljub, Ljubljana, Slovenia. Dark brown with reddish tint, almost no head. Doesn’t look like a stout. Green apple, this is a bad series. Acidic, non carbonated. Malty, some nuts in background. I can’t rate this.
