Bottled@Björntasting. Rubyish amber colour (close to black) with minor head. Aroma is roasted malts, burnt sugar and some slight sweet maltyness. Flavour is quite much the same. Also has some slight coffeeish notes.

Bottled. Clear golden, minimal head. Fruity vegetable aroma. Sterile flavour of nothing, just a slight hint of vegetable soup. The slight bitterness comes from the hop picture on the entrance to the brewery. So dull that my beer glass falls asleep and tips over. Thank you Carlsberg Polska for yet another wonderful masterpiece!

Bottled. Dark red, pink head. Sugary nose. Cloyingly mega-sweet, with flavours of sugar, syrup, sugar, syrup, syrup, syrup and syrup. I’m struggling to open my mouth. Help me!

Bottled. Dark brown, no head. Sugary nose. Super sweet with clean, hard mouthfeel. Primitive, sticky and harsh. No bitterness. Beer for taste impaired...

Half-liter bottle. A new produce store in Downers called Michael’s that I might have to add as a place, just for having all three Chimays and Delerium Tremens in stock. And this among the sometimes obscure Baltic beers. Hey, give it a point for nice labeling and matching crown. But as I pour, the cloying smell of corn sweeteners hits my nose. It looks pretty, though, pilsener yellow under a puffy white head. Most of that off smell is driven away, and underneath, I can say it starts to try to make up for it in taste. Fizzy and somewhat malty, much less sweetener on my tongue. A bit of bitterness that won’t admit to being hops. At 5.5% abv, I don’t know about lumping it in the European Strong Lager category, but of those, this is actually one of the better ones.

Small, yellowish head, shrinking double-quick; dark cola-colour of the bottle turns out to be 100% the beer... clear glass bottle, faugh! Molasses, sweet-fruity nose, raspberry essence and sweet drop. Sweet, again artificially raspberry flavour, with underlying dark malts, not fermented or hopped. Empty, syrupy palate, near-viscous. And now for the surprise. Despite the -1 for the bottle, and the scathing (well-deserved) comments on aromas and flavours, this "beer" is actually a near-perfect childrens’ drink - much more advisable than the industrial American-inspired concoctions usually to their disposal. Just not for me, please.

Bottle, courtesy of Pinball. A clear, brown beer topped by a beige head. Cola-like nose with candy and some wort. Cola in the form of winegum-cola bottles mostly. Caramel-sweet, slightly wort-like flavor with dark rye bread. Thin on the palate. Hmm, sort of reminiscent of a Danish hvidtøl, and not very good either, way too candyish. 090822

Huge, dense, off-white head fast gone over coppery-golden beer, well-carbonated. Nearly absent nose, faint honeyish whiff. Sweet and watery taste; pure, but equally uninteresting malts, boiled mushrooms. Light MF, watery. Oh well, I wasn’t expecting BrewDog. As to the Brussels’ gold medal, I was not invited for the jury.

40cl bottle from a Polish shop in Slough. Reddish brown with a pink head; aroma of raspberry and malt; the flavour is a strange combination of sweet malts and sharp raspberry fruit - but somehow it works. Certainly different.
