Piwo sprawia wrażenie jakby leżakowało w beczce po winie. ? Wysycenie niskie do średniego. Ciało średnie. Tekstura lekko szorstka. Posmak kwaskowy z elementami palonymi.

2.9 Illat OK, kellemesen kakaós-kávés. Szép krémes habot lehet képezni a tetejére. Közepesen testes. Na, de mi az a savanykás íz? Gyanús, hogy esetleg több élesztőre lehetett volnaa szükséges.
3.7 33cl limenka. Prosječan stout. Malo previše hmeljav.

3.0 Copenhagen 21/8 2019. 33 cl can from Voldby Købmandsgård (web-shop). Stylized drawing of what looks like Ice bergs on the can. Pours opaque dark brown with medium-sized light brown head. Settles as thin layer of almost transparent form unable to cover the surface of the beer. Moderate lacing. Aroma is moderately intense, sweet and candy-like with a perfumed touch. On the malty side. Milk chocolate, caramel, brown sugar, lactose, candy shop. the coffee mentioned on the can seems a bit oversold. Medium carbonation. Slightly thick, soft, creamy and lightly tingling texture. Flavor is rather sweet followed by a moderate bitterness. Aftertaste is sweet and candy-like. Not bad. Very much on the sweet side. Could use a tad more coffee and a little edge.
3.3 Közepes, gyorsan elolvadó hab, fekete szín. Enyhe, csokis, kakaós, aszalt gyümölcsös illat. Csokis, , enyhén kávés, aszalt gyümölcsös ízek, némi fűszeres beütéssel. Könnyed, már-már vizes, enyhén szénsavas, enyhén keserű. Nem nagy szám.
3.2 Can. Very dark brown, airy light beige head. Weird green, herbal aroma. Bittersweet flavour, chocolate, a little coffee. Ok.
3.7 Pours a dark brown. Not a huge aroma, coffee, malt. More on the flavour though espresso, toasted malt, cola, caramel. Fairly light mouthfeel. Solid but not amazing.
3.5 Color: black Aroma: coffee, chocolate Tastes:

2.7 330ml can, unfiltered, from Beer52 for £1 as part of a £1 a beer promotion pack. I'm stunned that this beer is from Croatia, as there is absolutely no sense of that at all. While I am one of those who is firmly in favour of the global village, it is experiences like this which make me realise why there is a cultural backlash, and people are reverting to nationalism and Brexit. This beer could have been made anyway. Making it in Croatia and then exporting it to the UK is almost a crime. There are hundreds of brewers here in the UK who can run off a bog standard "craft" stout like this. Coals to Newcastle anyone? Come on Croatia - make your own beer. Add your own character. Do your own thing. Take some fucking pride for Christ sake.
3.3 0.33 can C: dark brown N: light cocoa P: cocoa powder, dark chocolate, hint of dried dates, finish is quite light and not persistant.
2.2 Optisch wunderbar, Schaum bricht leider etwas früh weg. In der Nase wenig Aroma, Tabak. Im Trunk recht schwach, fast wässrig. Mit gutem Willen etwas Schoko, erst mittig kommen die Noten deutlicher, röstig, bitter, insgesamt ein sehr schwaches Stout.
3.0 Promises so much, then just drops off. Sweet coffee chocolate, they’ve just missed on this one. All the makings of a cracker, but just needs that extra oomph. Still a reasonable drop, but not quite there.
