26/6/2025. Draft at Pan’s Microbrewery Taproom, Tirana. So when I arrived at Pan’s Taproom I was told there were 7 out of 15 taps on and I chose a flight of 5. I noticed there was a tap for a 13.0% impy stout (not on Brewver or UT) but that wasn’t in the 7. As I was about to leave I asked if the other taps would come on and mentioned the impy and was offered a taster!! Wait what it’s on?? Only recently apparently so they were reluctant to offer for sale just yet but I gratefully accepted the taster. And it’s fantastic! So I’m now in for a 400ml pour for 400lek and this is absolutely gorgeous. The pour is just about black with a long lasting tan coloured head. Full bodied, ultra smooth, light carbonation. Aroma is roasted, chocolate, nutty, caramel, mars bar. Moderately sweet with medium roasted bitterness and a very subtle peppery spice developing. Retains the head and keeps the body to the last drop. I did not expect to find a beer anywhere near as good as this in Albania, it beats all the beers I had in Italy before coming here and tbh most of the other 23000 too! Exquisite…and to think I almost missed out on it!
