Cisk Strong is an outstanding premium lager brewed from barley malt, with a full-bodied flavour and a distinct sweet taste. Its subtle bitterness and fresh fruity aroma make this high-gravity beer an ideal accompaniment to meats and savoury foods. A winter warmer, it is perfect to be enjoyed at home as a complementing beer to hearty stews, spicy food as well as barbequed meats and poultry. It is also recommended to serve Cisk Strong with blue cheese and cheddar when you have friends over at home.

Cisk Strong has an alcohol content of 9% ABV and not for the faint-hearted. It is available locally in bottles, and on draught in Italy. It is annually made available on draught at the Farsons Beer Festival as a treat to its growing loyal followers.

Al naso arrivano caratteristiche di fruttato. L'intensità olfattiva è normale e il modo in cui permane è sufficiente. I mantello birroso superiore resiste abbastanza. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il liquido si presenta trasparente. Il colore è giallo dorato carico. Il corpo è pieno. L'amaro è medio. La forza gustativa è elevata e la durata è sufficiente. Il gusto è piacevole. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di birra beverina. Il retrogusto è di media intensità. Sul palato si fermano note di caramello, miele, frutta secca, agrumi, arancia, erbe, frutta passita e uvetta bagnata nel rum.

330ml bottle from the local Spar, St. Julians, Malta. Probably the best beer I tried from Cisk. Clear deep gold appearance, white head. Nice rich malt sweetness, packs a punch, unlike all their other beers. Like it.

W aromacie ma coś z taniej whisky. Jak dla mnie to jest bananowe toffii, trochę alkoholowe, ziołowe, miodowe, solidna podbudowa słodowa w stronę chlebka. Barwa złota, przejrzyste, piana powoli redukuje się do krążka, delikatny lacing. Goryczka zaznaczona, alkoholowo-ziołowo-apteczna, masochistycznie przyjemna. Zdecydowanie team słodycz, fajnie kontruje goryczka, troche za bardzo alkoholowe. Zaskakująco niezłe, ale więcej niż jedno nie da rady.

Can from the local convenience store in St Julians.
Appearance - golden and clear with a nicely proportioned white head.
Nose - toffee, honeycomb and fruitcake.
Taste - syrup, treacle sponge and sultanas.
Palate - medium bodied, very sweet.
Overall - enjoyable but a bit clumsy.
