Bottled, thanks H! Very dark brown body, almost black, off white head. Perfumey aroma, some flowery, citric notes over some miiild cocoa. Soft taste, dry dark chocolate, cocoa, lightly ashy, some citric touches. Nice soft roast. Bitterish finish. Ain't bad, have to say!

0,5 l bottle from Vrutak, Zagreb. Shared with Marko. Dark brown to black, small beige head. Roasty, toasty, malty, dried fruit, cocoa nibs. Nice full roasty note, almost tart, signs of oxidation, light cardboard, wood or charred wood. A bit harsh, medium to full body, moderate carbonation. Roasty and very dry finish.

Past BB so to be rerated if possible. Misty darker golden body, white head. Herbal, dusty, flowery aroma, gone. Taste reveals some fruity notes, stone fruit jam notes, over a solid bitter kick with traces of oxidation, a bit on the thinner side. Okay. Raising the score a little to be more fair for now.

Bottled. Murky golden body, white head. Fruity notes in the aroma, a bit stale, slightly flowery. Soft taste,flowery, lightly fruity, some traces of oxidation. Probably in need of a fresher bottle.
