ogivlado (2381), Zagreb, Croatia Jul 11, 2008 Bottled(500ml). -RBESG2008, Grand Tasting.
Dark brown coloured, small pale brown head, light roasted nose. The taste is light roasted malt as well with chocolate and coffee. Smooth, somehow light acidic finish.

Shared with our host in Copenhagen, a closet beer nerd who really appreciated the chance to taste some English ales, so thanks from him as well!<br />
Black, beige head. Burnt stout aroma. Drying bitterness in the mouth, but also quite refreshing. Burntness dominates the finish.
