Rastacouere (5258), Montréal, Quebec, Canada Feb 17, 2008 Drank in the café of Zagreb’s university library..Marko was telling me that this changed a lot over recent years. I had never had it before, but as it is, it has little to do with a porter. As a started, it was very pale, clear red to dark caramel coloured. Its head faded fairly fast also. Its texture is certainly lager-like and there ain’t no roastiness in there. It could be a mediocre dunkel, as the maltiness possesses the nutty, almost leathery/plumy/apricot-like tang of munich malts. Its fatal flaw, to me, is the extreme sweetness. Syrupy fruitiness makes it hard to drink while the body is actually light-medium at most.
