Dobre ciemne piwo. Przypomina niemieckie dunkele. Jest jednak bardziej słodowe i karmelowe. Odcień czerwieni mniejszy niż w niemieckich podobnych. Ogólnie smaczne piwo. I fajna grawerowana butelka ze zdobieniem zlotkowym na szyjce.

Seems closer to a Baltic Porter than an Marzen. Lots of nice roast grain flavor that leaves a bitterness on the palate. The label I had states "Dark Red", and it has a nice reddish color to it, and is much darker than your standard Marzen. A nice darkish beer, but closer to a to a schwarzbier or porter

Süßlicher, etwas getreidiger Beginn. Herb-würzig, dunkel hefige Noten. Rund, zum Ende wirkt das Bier karamellig-alkoholisch. Süß-erdig, süffig. Gar nicht mal schlecht! 8/9/9/9/7/9
