Let’s just be honest about it: throughout history Denmark has always had troubles with the Swedes. There’s no end to the many times our small and peace loving country has been attacked by our huge bully of a neighbor. Some modern historians claim that we may not always have been entirely innocent, but then again…. historians have been wrong before. However, in times of pain and agony and Swedish aggression it’s good to have friends, and exactly such a friend was Polish nobleman Stefan Czarniecki, aka. The Red Hetman. Having had their asses severely beaten in Poland in 1658, Swedish troops on the run had cowardly invaded and occupied the Danish locations of Koldinghus and Als. But Czarniecki - commonly known as ’The Swede Slayer’ was not satisfied. So he simply chased the Swedes and entirely wiped them out of Denmark during the Siege of Kolding. A true hero that we are only happy to share with the Polish. The Swedes however, when not busy pissing their diapers, would for decades tell their kids "Eat up your dinner, or Czarniecki will come and get you". Had it not been for this brave soldier, the Danes may even today have had to visit a government store to buy their liquor, or actually believe Falukorv to be a sausage - oh the horror! If any, Czarniecki deserves a beer named after him, brewed with our Polish friends at Pracownia Piwa in Krakow. And like him it had to be rich, potent and extremely powerful. Na zdrowie!

Tasting @ Tim's. Pours dark brown, bit of beige nose. Hazy. Nose has lots of spices, toffee, dark cherries with some caramel. Taste has booze, lots of sweetness, charred caramelized cherries with some herbs. Cinnamon and Christmas spices, good bitterness and dry herbal linger in the finish. Sweet black bread pudding. Good stuff, enjoying this a lot.

Many thanks to Skinnyviking for a 500ml bottle of this one. Stable bubbly beige head. Fragile lacing. Coal black body. Attractive aroma of dark brown malts and dark spices, mid-sweet. Rather sweet taste profile of dark dough, raisin and cinnamon - porridge impression. Welcome roasted ending. Yuletide qualities. (Hotel room, Copenhagen 10.08.2017).

A colablack beer, a head is beige and medium sized. Aroma has berries, some weird spicyness (cinnamon, cardamom?), liquirice, only hint of roastiness and coffee. Taste has same spicyness than in the aroma, sweetness, some berries and roastiness. Only medium bodied. Strong spicyness isn’t balanced. Don’t drink too cold.
