Bottle at The Penguin, the romance of my first Montenegrin tarnished only slightly by the Northampton address slapped in huge letters on the back of the bottle. Had high hopes for this one having been impressed by Slovenian and Croatian Tamnos, but it doesn’t quite hit the spot. Bloodsy aroma with dark malts, herbal hop and Vimto berries. Dark ruby with a thin beige slick. Creamy but a little empty; dark cherry palinka-type notes hinting straight at the ABV, brackish malt loaf, droplet of Kasteel. Some solid herbal Germanic hop content surprising in such a dark(ish) brew, but a Paracetemol/burnt wood bitterness I don’t like. Still, decent Mediterranean/Adriatic Dunkel (new category). Saw it off no problem.

Nov 22, 2009 Bottle 0,33l My sister brought it from Montenegro. It’s like an tutti-frutti-flavoured soft drink. Black colour, weak body, watery texture, almost no head, which is immediately diminishing, and a light malty flavour. Delusion.

Jul 5, 2009 Near black, average head. Licorice and coffee up front. Medium dry with sharp mouthfeel leading to a salty finish. Light bodied and dry for an Eastern European porter.

Jun 26, 2009 1L Bottle. Dark brown with ruby hue and small creamy head. Light roasted malt and some dry charcoal in the aroma.
Medium roasted maltiness with caramel and some grassy hop in the finish. Fizzy, watery texture and the roasted unmalted barley feel. Easy drinking, refreshing, average stuff.
