Our most complex beer, the high alcohol percentage has nothing to do with any additional sugar. Made from traditional English ingredients, Maris Otter malt and Fuggle hop. It was aged in the bottle for a whole year to get its perfect characteristics. The result is a thick, red, rich malt drink. It tastes like sherry mixed with the aromas of the Fuggle hop. The Franky and Boris beers are limited editions, and are either in a 0,375 l or a 1,5 bottle. Only a few thousand are made. Each bottle has its own number and the year of production written on it, which is important because each year we keep the first 120 beers. We plan to make a special collection in the following years, which will contain the saved bottles.

Bottle. Pours brown with no head. Nose is grains, booze, fruity touch. In taste more or less the same notes come through in nice balance, closing with long lasting sweet and warming boozy finish. Medium to heavy body, soft to average carbo.

Tap at Fakin with Hrabren. Murky dark ruby-brown body, no head. Lovely dried fruit, dates, strawberries, malty notes, lean. Malt-driven taste, raisins, grapes, light barrel, some alcohol, sweetish. Nice overall, but not a stunner.
