Can at Schwechat airport Billa. Does the job very well. Despite not being able to pour it in a glass, I clearly felt the nitro element and creamy smoothness on my tongue. It was dry, with a feeling of rather high but creamy carbonation. Fully roasty, coffeeish, a bit ashy, with little getting in the way. Good one.

On tap @Pivnica Medonja, Varaždin. Hazy orange pour, two finger frothy white head, medium retention, sticky lacing on the glass. Sweet on the nose, ripe tropical fruits, caramel malt in the background, light grassy notes. Light body, soft to medium carbonation, lively. Average mouthfeel and texture, lightweight, soft, chewy. Surprisingly sweet taste, malt driven aroma, caramel, candy, ripe tropical fruits, pineapple in the background. Some grainy notes, light spice. Medium lasting finish, malty sweet, dry, lasting bitterness. Ok but feels somewhat stale, maybe not the freshest batch.
