Bottle shared by ippopotamo36 @Buskers Pub (Rome), thanks Alberto! Golden appearance, a bit cloudy, with a nice and persistent white foam. Aroma is fresh and enjoyable, malty, bread, cereals, little hops (grass), hay, rustic notes that reminds me something from Bamberg... well done! Flavour is well balanced, tasty, little sweet at first, malty, bread, decent bitter end. Light body, good carbonation. Very good!

On tap at Medvedgrad Adžijina. Pours unclear with creamy off-white head. Caramel malts, dried fruit, quite sweet. Medium to full bodied. After Božićno this is another nice seasonal beer by Medvedgrad.

On tap at Medvedgrad Ilica, Zagreb. Pours black with creamy beige head. Sweet, caramel, dried fruits, smooth carbonation, not easy drinkable. Wasn’t thrilled with their other seasonal brews, but this turned out to be pleasant surprise. Hope they’ll make it this year as well.

Pours a clear dark brown color, red undertone, topped with a decent and solidly lasting tan colored head. Malty aroma, a bit roasty with some mild chocolate notes. Taste starts with some sweetness, quite watery with some grassy notes later on. Mild bitterness and slight herbal presence in the finish. Drinkable, although a bit more taste would be needed - a bit too watery.

Bottle courtesy of Boban, thank you. Shared with mortlach and Valerio in Rome at Buskers pub. Pours almost black with syrupy texture close to a reddish brown, tick and frothy beige cap with incredible retention and drafts. Nose: caramel, roasted malts, fresh tough. Mouth: watery as the style requires, a bit too thin but without any evident flaw. The roasted malty feel is there with a well-balanced bitterness. Some non-disturbing caramel too. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Bottle shared by Boban in Serbia, transported all the way to Rome-Italy and drunk at Buskers pub with mortlach and Valerio at the end of a all-day-long tasting. Pours a cloudy golden color with a white tick foam which remains and leaves drafts. Nose: rough but tasty, farm notes of hay and grains. Mouth: mild but never thin, milled barley. Nice! ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Bottle at the Zagreb beer fest. Pours almost completely clear golden color, topped with a medium white frothy head. Nice grassy hopy aroma, some malty notes in the back. Taste is a bit funky... grassy and malty with some weird metallic grass in the aftertaste. Moderate bitterness. Too bad, promises a lot more than you really get.

Dec ’14. On tap at their place. It poured hazy, dark reddish-brown body with smaller latte head. Mostly very lightly roasted aroma, dark dried fruits, caramelized sugar, touch of bread/grain. Served a bit too cold so needed some time to open up. Flavor was only lightly sweet, which made it extremely balanced for a tricky dark bock. Somewhat complex with secondary notes like wood and cocoa. Otherwise caramel, sugar, grainy in some nice way but also lightly bitter herbal hoppy spices. Full bodied so it seemed even stronger in ABV, with very pleasant and long caramel, raisins, even cocoa finish. Slightly warming too, I guess that’s why they didn’t want to push these 18 plato beyond 7% ABV, although they managed to subdue sweetness with lightly roasted malt. A well made Dunkler Bock, very nice and pleasant! Hope to see it next year, too!

Dec ’14. On tap at their place. It poured muddy brown body with medium sized head. Caramel malt aroma, also sugary with some semi-dried dark fruits. Yeast was evident, too. Flavor was also sweet, too much. Yeasty, sugary, caramel...no complexity here. A bit warming in the finish, but alcohol was very well hidden all the way true, I admit that. On a blind tasting I wouldn’t guess the style, I would even be sure it’s a lager. Unfortunately, my thrill about their special in personal favorite style turned into another disappointment. Very glad to have it tried though and to see it being done anyway!
