Named after the first historical leader of Poland.
Many modern polish beers are lagers but there is a rich heritage of Porters and Imperial Stouts and it is from the latter which Mieszko takes its inspiration.
Brewed with a grist comprising of 6 different grains. Mieszko is a rich and formidable beer with a luxuriant head a liquorice coloured body.
It has a coffee aroma which is punctuated with spicy fruit notes. On the palate Mieszko gives an initial hit of dark fruits which suddenly give way to an explosion of strong coffee, chocolate and roasted grain. The finish is dry with strong hop bitterness.

Cask-conditioned at the Summer Beer Festival, The Royal Oak, Bath 17/07/08. Opaque black in colour with a slight, tan head. Aroma of roasted malt, dark fruits and bitter chocolate. Flavour was roasty, with some more fruit and a decent bitter finish. Good.
