On tap at Tolkiens House, Zagreb. Pours dark brown with brown head. Chocoalte, roasted malts, bit of coffee as well. Some batches tend to be acidic. Bitterish finish.

On tap at various places, latest at Ro&Do, Zagreb. Nice orange color with white head. Nice aroma, tropical fruits and citrus. Bitter fruity flavor. Bitter finish. Would like to see more body, too thin for my taste.

Thanks! 330 ml. bottle shared together with digita7693 & Martinus. Interesting to try both beers that are currently being produced by these guys after seeing them in on the “Top New Brewers In The World” on RB. Dark brown, reddish hue, almost no head. Nose is sweet, earthly coffee, light chocolate, wood. Taste is light herbs, touch yeast, earthly coffee, light roast, cheap creamy chocolate, faint sour coffee, stone fruit, easy sweetness. Drinks easily. This beer raises an interesting question about homerism, the score right now is too high in my opinion (98/99), worldwide this isn’t near the top, it is a good beer. Where it is from it is probably the best there is or close to it. RB compares all beers on a global scale, beers should be rated compared to all offering in the world. Rating something higher because it is the best available choice locally makes perfect sense as well. Interesting option. Either way, this is a pretty solid & quite enjoyable beer. Just not world-class in my opinion.

Thanks! 330 ml. bottle shared together with digita7693 & Martinus. Interesting to try both beers that are currently being produced by these guys after seeing them in on the “Top New Brewers In The World” on RB. Amber, light, little head. Nose is rather watery with orange, pine, faint ice water peach. Taste carries very faint funk in the star, goes into lightly watery pine, orange peel, caramel, lightly hoppy, light caramel & agave sweetness. It is too watery for sure but drinks decently still. This is a decent beer that is very likely miles ahead any other competitor in their area.

0,33 bottle purchased at Beerville in Belgrade-Serbia. Ciao Vlada! Pours oily black, brown reflexes with a frothy and compact ivory-brown cap which stays there quite long. Pretty nice and proper appearance. Nose: dark chocolate blast, grounded coffee, grass harvest, a caramel hint. Mouth: distinctive round bitterness which stays very well-distributed in a coffee environment. Good body, neutral herbal hops all around, dry finish. A very well done Porter made in Croatia. Kabinet, you gotta bow down! ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

0,33 bottle at Beerville bottle shop in Belgrade (Serbia) with markoijelena. Pours orange filtered, off white head which leaves lacing. Nose: bread crust, smoked feel, citrus. Mouth: mild, easy body. Anyway, bitter and tasty enough.

Pours a clear orange color, topped with a rather small white head. Starts with a pleasant fruity aroma followed by some caramel and hoppy notes. Taste starts sweet, followed by a gentle hoppy bitterness. Mild and gentle, but very drinkable.

Pours a dark brown color, topped with rather small but lasting beige head. Initially mild roasty aroma, some notes of coffee with nice chocolate aroma in the back. Taste starts sweet and roasty, very little coffee, but some nice chocolate. Some bitterness and dried fruits in the finish. Very drinkable, not too robust, but rather gentle and smooth. Very nice.
