Botled on March 2011. Fajna owijka ale brak na niej zawartosci alkoholu. Przechodzac do piwa to zapach czerwonych owocow, runa lesnego i nieco sosny. W smaku czerwone owoce, marmolada porzeczkowa i silnie korzenne posmaki do tego chmiel wyrazisty goryczkowy. Posmak dlugi i czysty. Alkoholu nie wyczuwa sie. Piwo o glebokiej rubinowej barwie z wielka i trwala pianka oblepiajaca szklo i do konca testowania trzymajacej sie na powierzchni piwa.

On tap at the Stag’s Head, Manhattan NY on 2nd July 2013. Strongly red with off white foam ring and no lacing. Aroma of roast malts and berry fruits. Malty in-mouth with fruit and biscuit notes. Finish much the same but with some bitterness.

On gravity cask @ Blind Tiger House. Looks like it has been on a cask for sure. Cloudy deep dark amber on color and the bubbly translucent top that came in the pour is long gone before I get a chance to sit down at my table. Smells nice. Kinda sweet with licorice and gunpowder. Sorta peppery also perhaps? Smells really nice. Oh, lots of flavors there! Cask-flat of course and the mouthfeel is light oily. Almost salty in a way, lots of gunpowder, oxidation, lots of eastery banana, caramel, red really over ripe fruits and lots of grassy hops in the finish and aftertaste. Lovely stuff. 16.06.2013

Tap at Stagshead. Pours reddish brown with foamy head and nose of candys and pine. Tastes of caramel, brown sugar, pine, grapefruit, dark fruits, berries, cloves, resin, and leather. Pretty bitter and a lot going on. Interesting brew
