Bottle. Initially sweetish with sherry notes, raisins, dried fruits, slowly morphs through assertive burnet coffeeish roastiness into a warming bourbony finish. Great.

Butelka 0.5l (10.10.2016/A1). Barwa czarna z rubinowymi prześwitami pod światło. Piana beżowa, słaba, szybko redukuje się do cienkiej powłoczki na powierzchni i niespecjalnie zdobi szkło. Aromat słodkawy, likierowy, czekoladowy z nutką wanilii jest bardzo przyjemny. W smaku bardzo podobnie przy czym piwo jest tylko subtelnie słodkie na początku, nieco likierowe, czekoladowe z lekkim drewnianym, beczkowym, wytrawnym w postaci szlachetnego alkoholu finiszem, ciut ściągającym ale bardzo przyjemnie odkładającym się na podniebieniu. Jest dość gładkie, ciut rozgrzewające ale brakuje mu nieco oleistości, gęstości a i rozgrzewanie mogłoby być nieco większe choć ciało jest wyczuwalne. Niemniej jednak piwo wypite z dużą przyjemnością a kostki dębu po bourbonie wyraźnie zaznaczyły swoją obecność z jak najlepszej strony.

At first the aroma of alcohol hit me and I was starting to think that these wooden chips steeped in bourbon have made it worse. However in a glas after warming there is a very pleasant vanilla note, some hints of bourbon and black malts. The beer is rather dry and with strongly burnt malts leaving tar bitterness in aftertaste which at first for me was also unpleasant. With warming the palate gets richer (or maybe I have became accustomed to this roastiness which I normally dislike in stouts) and Night Fever appears to be an interesting strong FES (or lighter Imperial Stout) with complex tastes and distinctive tannines and vanilla from mentioned chips. This is an advantage as many beers have wooden chips on etiquette and there is no way to feel them in the taste of the beer - here they are real deal. Maybe its one of the best FES or IS but from light IS released recently by Polish craft breweries I think it stands out. As always in the case of Raduga it is supplemented by wonderful artwork. Overall interesing and I would recommend it.
