Bottle from HerrBierkoenig, many thanks Damian. Hazy orange golden color with thick persistent off white head. Aroma of oranges, tangerines, mango, papaya, malt. Taste, solid malty backbone followed by fruity hoppy touch with tangerines, mango, apricots, orange zest. Fruity finish with sour notes. Overall drinkable beer in hot summer weather.

Bottle, 0.50l. Cloudy dark brown color with small creamy off-white head and nice lacing. Aroma of roasted malt, coffee, liquorice and floral hops. Taste starts with moderate sweet roasted malt and mild chocolate notes, follows by pleasant fruity acidity, while finish is strong bitter. Full body, oily texture and average carbonation in palate. Stout for president :)

Pours with a dark brown color and an average cream colored head. The aroma is a combination of roasted malts, coffee and caramel, also some chocolate. Start is characterized by sweet roasted malts, followed by decently bitter body, some caramel and coffee in there. Bitter finish. As all Carniola’s beers, pleasantly drinkable and tasty, although a bit more forgetable than some others. Could be just me.

This one pours a completely dark brown almost black with a decent cream colored head. There is a roasted malt aroma which is complemented by some coffee aroma as well. The taste is very bitter and there’s a bit too much coffee for my liking. A strong tasting beer.

Wow, this winter beer was a pleasant surprise. Pours a completely hazy amber color with a small and quickly disappearing white head. The aroma is simply amazing. Gentle aroma of hops is complemented by a superb aroma of anise which immediately reminds me of the Christmas fairs and punch on the stands. The taste is sweet and you can feel other spices. It’s very creamy and smooth with a slight bitterness in the aftertaste. Amazing.

Pours a slightly hazy darker copper color and a very decent slightly cream colored head with adequate retention. The aroma is pretty straigtforward. Sweet and caramely, slight roastiness. The taste is sweet with some roasted feel. It’s flat, no carbonation, and creamy. Finishes with minimal bitterness. Not bad at all.

A pleasant surprise in the mail. Not really the best beer I have tasted, but still an OK choice. Looks: golden and hazy with a medium off color head. The first impression - it will be a heavy and filling one. Aroma: basically hops, hops and hops, also slightly too much alcohol smell. Taste is pretty much neutral, although it appears slightly stale due to the lack of carbonation. Not really bitter, only slightly on the tongue. Slight bitter aftertaste.

On tap at Cameral Beer Fest in Koper. Hazy dark brown color with thin creamy off-white head and poor lacing. Aroma of mild malt, caramel, cocoa and light grassy hops. Tastes is light sweet malty, nutty, refreshing sour and pleasantly mild. Very mild bitterness present at finish. Medium body, slick texture and average carbonation in palate. Very tasty for such low alcohol strength...

Recent rating: On tap at Pivomanija Beer Fest in Ajdovscina. Hazy dark orange color with small off-white head and average visible carbonation. Aroma of lemon, grapefruit, pine and resin hops. Taste starts with rich light sweet malt, then follows sour fruity and grainy, while finish is mild spicy and heavy bitter. Medium to full body, oily texture and soft carbonation in palate. This beer got total makeover with Pacifica hops!
