Description
Mlinarica is known for its homely atmosphere. Tables and benches made of solid wood fill the interior of the space, and in the glass part of the pub there is a large fireplace. Every day we offer many homemade dishes, snacks, grilled dishes and homemade desserts, on weekends different baking.

In 2016, next to the brewery, we open a craft brewery and join the Zagreb beer revolution, offering guests top craft beers of different flavors and aromas.

0.5l can, huge thanks Dime! Golden body, vaguely amberish maybe, off-white head. Grainy, smokey, smooth aroma, light bean touches. Same taste, grainy maltiness, simple, with light beany maltiness. Not my favorite type of smoke but it's fine overall! 3.3 (6.6). 23.12.2024

Update, on tap at the brewpub. Less beany, not at all in fact, but there's some corny DMS-like notes. Smooth, soft, pleasant malty taste with understated smoke underneath just rounding it up. By all means more pleasant than from the bottle. Upped the taste rating.

0.33l bottle, thx Hrabren for sharing! Very dark brown body, off-white head. Pungent, pleasant, not overbearing tonka bean aroma, giving some vanilla-like licks, but undeniably tonka. Not much coffee, light chocolate perhaps. Lean, soft, very well hidden alcohol for the body, tonka beans all over the place, mildly soapy, but it's mostly cocoa and mild roast by the finish. Supremely drinkable, great job!

0.33 l bottle shared with Marko. Dark brown, small off-white head. Aroma is tonka, cocoa, vanilla, roasted coffee beans, caramel, biscuit and some spice. Quite rich and complex, resembling a chocolate cake as intended for better or for worse. Smooth, soft, silky texture, soft carbonation. Sweet biscuit and bitter chocolate. Fresh ground coffee, some vanilla, some spice. Not too sweet. Nice roasty profile. Lasting dry chocolate finish.
