On tap at Lajbah, Ljubljana. Dark brown to black, red tint, small lasting tan head. Aroma is roasty, toasty, bready, nutty. Soft fresh floral or fruity touch. Very light spicy note indicates hops. Creamy texture, light body. Flavours are dark malts, roasty, dark fruit. Some toast or bread. Finishes very smoothly with lasting fruity and roasty sticky flavour. Very nice example of a style, great everyday beer. Congratulations to the brewer.

Bottle, 0.33l. Aroma is grainy, floral, mild fruity and yeasty. Pours hazy dark golden color with thin soapy white head and sparkling appearance. Taste starts light sweet and slightly sour grainy, following is yeasty, bready and grassy, mouthfeel is crisp and dry, while finish is light to medium bitter. Light to medium body, thin texture and lively carbonation in palate. Not a beer for galla dinner...

Bottle, 0.33l. Aroma of passion fruit, pineapple, melon, caramel and yeast with faint sweaty hint. Pours hazy amber color with large soapy off-white head and sparkling appearance. Taste starts with medium sweet toasted malt and bubblegum, following is grassy, mild fruity and medicinal, while finish is pretty bitter. Medium body, oily texture and lively carbonation in palate. Certainly needs significant improvement...

Pours almost clear golden colour, topped with a larger and pretty lasting white foamy head. Strong spicy aroma, coriander mostly and some sweaty wheat tones. Spicy taste, adds to teh freshness of the beer. Medium bitterness with some citrusy presence. Lighter body, lots of carbonation. Nicely drinkable, spicy and fresh.
