Tama od The Garden Brewery je bogat i raskošan imperial stout gotovo crne boje, s aromama tamne čokolade, karamele i prženog slada koje se elegantno spajaju u gust, kremast gutljaj. Okus podsjeća na desert u čaši — slatkast, topao i zaokružen — s dugim, čokoladnim završetkom koji ostavlja dojam pravog „craft“ užitka.

Can, 0.44l. Black pour, one finger frothy beige head, medium retention, broken lacing on the glass. Nose is coffee, roasted malt, dark chocolate. Bready notes, slightly smoked.

Medium body, medium carbonation, lively. Smooth mouthfeel and texture, somewhat lighter than expected, soft, creamy, some stickiness to it. Roasty bittersweet taste with subtle tart notes in the background. Aroma of roasted malt, coffee, dark chocolate. Bread, molasses, berries. Mild grapes and cherries in the back. Kinda expected a stronger wine flavor, given the name of the beer. Medium lasting finish, dry, warming, lingering roasty bitterness.

Quite ok but somewhat underwhelming. Expected something a bit more "special".

On tap at Valhalla, Zagreb. Clear straw to golden colour, small off-white head. Aroma is fruity at first, white grapes, citrus, gooseberry and unripe apricot. Flavour is refreshing fruity, citrusy, white grapes, slightly vinous, but mostly moderately tart lactic acid. Hints of pineapple. Good balance, moderate carbonation, not creamy, lively, not yoghurty, minimal bitterness, finishes dry. Reminds me of the first batches legendary Garden (House) Sour.

Can. Dark brown color with medium white head. Aroma of dark malt, smoked malt, plums, dark chocolate, light spices. Taste starts fruity with plums, dark malt, light chocolate, very light level of smoke, could be more. Light bodied for so high ABV, not too much porter-ish. Not stellar, not terrible. And not Porter.

Can. Very dark brown color with medium light beige head. Aroma of chocolate, toasted malt, roasted malt, touch of coffee, caramel. Taste is roasted malt, caramel, dark chocolate, salty minerality probably from oysters. This is easy drinkable beer, used for drinking, not for meditation. I liked it.

A nearly clear, yellowish beer with a large, white head. The aroma is slightly malty, strawy, and has a generous citrus zest, primarily lemon and lime. The taste is a blend of clean malt notes balanced by lime and lemon. A zesty, slightly grapefruit-like, expressive bitterness creates a satisfying finish. This beer is crisp and pairs well with anything. It's pleasantly refreshing.
