Dark reddish brown colour with a beige head. Roasted malty aroma with some hints of coffee. Flavour is a little roasted with some hints of coffee and raisins. A little watery mouthfeel.

Excellen, mild dark beer, nice dark red colour,aroma contained of malt raisins nuts, smooth and flat at the start then finished with a lingering burnt wood flavor.

i love all black beer so i like also this beer but it is not the greatest black beer .....

0.33l bottle from ozujsko (thanks!)
The first time I saw this beer, it looked remarkably familiar to something. I remembered it once I tasted it. The label is a ripoff of Črni Baron (Black Baron) from Pivovarna Union ! The beer tastes quite similar to it too, but suggesting that is as far as I will go.

The beer poured an extremely dark redbrown - black colour, with a small tan head that went away rather fast. The aroma is difficult to describe. It’s a heavy smell that’s hard to catch, if something like that can exist and it goes from raisins to roasted malt. The taste was suprisingly weak, watered down but nice really. Toffee and coffee (heh), but not great. Dark malts, some slight hoppy hints in the background. Slightly creamy. Not impressive, but good for Bosnia.

Strong sweet nose with a dusty old-book quality, dark clear brown color. Caramelly malt present immediately with some toasted malt. Woody even peaty end. Thin-ish body. Rich roasted malt flavors are enjoyable. This goes beyond a Schwarzbier.

Bottle given to thedm and I from the owner of the Grill Rustico restaurant in Grainau, Germany while on our recent honeymoon. Tan head, uncarbonated, sparse lacing, transparent and a reddish brown hue. Malty, caramel and some roastiness in the aroma. Flavor was malt, mild caramel and some roasty/woodsy flavor. Palate was smooth. Medium bodied.

The DM & Hotstuff’s European Honeymoon trip beer number 83. This bottled brew from the Yugoslavian owner of the Grill Rustico restaurant in Grainau Germany poured a medium sized head of off-white colored long lasting bubbles that left behind a uncarbonated transparent dark ruby red brown colored body and a good lacing. The aroma contained notes of malt raisins nuts and mild licorice. The mouth feel was smooth and flat at the start then finished with a lingering burnt wood flavor.

Nice dark color with a light layer of a head. Nice intense roasted malt nose. Mild toasted malt taste, also nice hoppy inclings but actually very thin and a somehow weird aftertaste. Unbalanced.

UPDATED: FEB 23, 2004 Bottled. Mahogany colour with creamy head. Wonderful rich smokey aroma with toffee and roastiness. Sweet and soft, lightly sugary with a touch of oily hops. Some cofee in a mild, well balanced finish.

Deep dark brown color, a little bit of coffee aroma, if cold enough no bitter aftertaste, very popular beer from Banjaluka.
