Barwa ciemnozłota, leciutkie zmętnienie, piana biała, dość drobna, średniej wielkości, dość szybko opada. W aromacie wyraźna kiełbasa z grilla, wędzonka, przyprawy, nuty owocowe, głównie pomarańcz i kolendra. W smaku wędzonka już zdecydowanie mniej intensywna, na pierwszy plan wychodzą nuty belgijskie, skórka od pomarańczy, przyprawy, trochę pieprzu, wędzona kiełbasa bardziej subtelna. Treściwość niska do średniej, wysycenie średnie do wysokiego, goryczka dość wysoka, lekko przyprawowa i lekko piekąca. Ciekawe piwo, aczkolwiek nie pogniewałbym się na większe użycie wędzonego słodu, gdyż ta kiełbasa naprawdę robi robotę, balans też można by nieco poprawić oraz podnieść pełnię, ale generalnie całkiem udane piwo.

Amber colored with rather low head. Almost perfectly clear. A lot of herbs in aroma, hints of something like sauerkraut. Very spicy aroma. Love it. Medium sourness and sweetness. Low bitterness. Medium body with low carbonation. Very interesting beer.

Very dark beer with red reflexes. High, off-white head with slow retention. Lacing is present. Citrus aroma. Some chocolate in flavor. Highly bitter. It’s maybe a little bit too sweet though. Smooth palate. Medium body.

Tap (BGM3, Wrocław). Mocna szynkowa wędzonka w aromacie. W smaku wędzonka przeplata się z przyprawowością. Całkiem fajne piwo, jedne z lepszych tej edycji BGM.

Tap (Kontynuacja, Wrocław). Barwa bursztynowa, piana biało-szara, ładnie krążkuje. Aromat średniointensywny, lekko słodkawy z nutami owoców tropikalnych i białych. Goryczka ziołowo-cytrusowa, niska z "tropikalnym" posmakiem i miodową, subtelną aczkolwiek wyraźnie wyczuwalną miodową nutką na finiszu. Piwo lekko wytrawne, lekkie w odczuciu, pijalne.
