(Kiev 2016) 330 ml. bottle at Beer Dream. BBF 01.03.2017. Great label (for me it is a bit campy 50s Horror movie styled), this is also the strongest Ukrainian beer that I tried during my visit. Dark red amber, fizzy, bubbles rising and no head. Nose is thick dark fruit syrup with a sour edge to it, molasses. Taste is overripe dark fruit, fizzy, rotting fruit alcoholic, turned sour, rubbing alcohol, fruity mess, thin, fizzy, harsh big rotting fruit, whole has turned sour akin to spoiled fruit & spoiled grapes. Really messy & off-tasting take on an Quadrupel. I suspect this bottle being stored badly but still. Raw, still not utterly undrinkable.
