Beer creates great excitement. It looks simple, but it actually hides many secrets. Every craft beer causes impatience before the tasting and enjoyment when you are revisiting the flavor. Its diversity of taste, aroma, texture and color is huge, sometimes it seems endless.
We consider ourselves to be passionate gourmets. We are searching for new and unusual tastes, while aiming to offer the highest quality craft beers from the selected ingredients, thus we have created Kabinet Brewery. Our beers are produced in Nemenikuće on a sunny slope at a foot of the mountain Kosmaj.
Our wish is that Kabinet Brewery, as a Cabinet of curiosities(*), gathers in one place all the amazing tastes and smells of the beer world that has long inspired us. Welcome to Kabinet Brewery.
(*) The Cabinet of curiosities or wonders– a collection of distinctive, unique items, all that is rare, strange and precious, the finest handicrafts, natural wonders, usually received and gathered from the exotic travel as an examples of the natural, geological, religious, ethnological and artistic value.
February 11th 2019. On tap at Pločnik, Zagreb. Hazy golden, small off-white head. Lightly to moderately hoppy, floral, fruity, fragrant. Candy, stone fruit. Medium body, moderate carbonation. Flavour is fruity, good balance with malt, some candy or sugar. Moderate to heavy bitterness., lasting finish with a fruity kick. Quite serious. Not an alcohol bomb but a balance DIPA recipe.
Bottle share ah Luppolo Station in Rome. Cloudy golden-orange color with a small irregular white foam. Nose: mild coffee, flakes, wheat a bit. Nice. Mouth: very nice, coffee is more present and the body is oat. Soft and silky experiment. Liked it.
750ml bottle from Beru Vykhodnoy in Moscow. Pours opaque brown with a medium-sized beige head. Aroma is cinnamon, aniseed, ginger. Taste is light to medium sweet, aforementioned spices. Weird tripel.
Bottle handed to me by Neven from Croatia who's been doing a tour of the Rocky Mountain region.
330ml bottle, best before August 27th 2020. So it's pretty darned fresh.
It pours a lightly hazed pale gold, has oodles of foam with excellent lacing.
The smell has herbal hop notes, lots of citrus, very fruity, some grass and some toasted malt. Excellent nose.
Hoppy taste but there's a nice balance going on. Citrus and some melon meet caramel malt and toasted malt. Little bit of dankness going on but it's well within my comfort zone. It has that certain hoppy goodness that I always have trouble describing but I always favour it. You have to try it to understand what I am saying.
Slick and juicy mouthfeel, I like the lower level of carbonation.
This is a really excellent DIPA American style. No alcohol to be dealt with. Just pure DIPA enjoyment.
