Bitcoin Cash is on the decline. Was it a one time flick or a good buy opportunity now, I wonder. BTC remains strong and I again have the urge to sell off all my possesion and take a loan to buy more. As always, I found solace in beer. Or is it wine this time? Nah, it’s a beer.
Look at this BCC chart. Not very promising at all. Declining volume. I hope it was a failed attempt of a whales’ coup.
The menu on tap at Craft Beer Pub was promising though.
I got warmly welcomed by a freebie tasting. My favorite barmaid. Slovenian Barrel Aged Sour. It adds an element of sweetness to the sourness. Mostly due to higher alcohol content probably (7.5%). Sours are usually 4-5%. I really like them and if you are looking for something new in beer terms, go for sour! Just stay open minded!
Gone before you know it!
I just couldn’t resist St. Martin’s Beer named after the famous Christian saint Saint Martin of Tours. His name is usually evoked during the wine harvest season. Hey, it seems the guy liked beer, too!
It is probably named like that because the style is barleywine (but beer). It’s always very heavy in alcohol, above 10% with thick, full body. It has to stay in a keg for a few months so it requires more effort to be produced. It’s mostly aimed to be drank as a dessert, not in large quantities. The price usually deters such endeavors anyway.

Saint Martin’s Beer
| Style | Barley Wine |
| Country | Zagreb, Croatia |
| Brewery | Medvedgrad Brewery |
| Alcohol | 10.3% |
| ----- | --------- |
| Appearance | Amber brown. Modest whitish head. |
| Aroma | Conservative aroma. Wow. Extremely weak. Didn't expect that. Hints of malt. Caramel. |
| Taste | Succulent. Sweet. Bit of burnt malt. One dimensional. On the upside, Can't feel alcohol that much. |
| Palate | Medium carbonation. Thick and honeyish. The usual barley 🍷. Tingles the palate. Leaves sharp bitter aftertaste which I'm not too fond of. |
| ----- | --------- |
| Overall | It's seasonal. It's special. But somehow we didn't become friends. Not bad by any means it just doesn't leave a lasting impression. I'll go harsh on the score with the style in mind. Not the overall beer experience. |
| Score (subjective) | 15/20 |
Price: 15 kuna (2.35$) for 0.15 ml. Pub on tap. Mid-range for the style.
