Description
Birbant (pronounced ‘beer-bunt’; Polish for ‘bon vivant’) contract brewery was established in 2013 by Jarek and Krzysiek (a.k.a. Kuli), two brewers and beer enthusiasts. Jarek is a professional brewer, who’s worked with several different breweries, while Kuli started brewing at home in 2003 and in the ten years before Birbant many of his home batches earned him awards at homebrew competitions. In their own words: “We have worked together on new recipes for a few years now. Our goal is to make flavorful and exceptionally aromatic beers we would like to drink ourselves.” Browar Zarzecze

“The Zarzecze Brewery gives us full freedom of developing and implementing new ideas and technologies. We have what every brewer dreams about: full control and the ability to supervise our projects personally at all times.”

Bottle @ Setka Pub, Poznań. Pours cloudy amber with airy white head. Bitter and spicy aroma of hops and citrus and possibly coriander, with notes of malt and yeast. Bitter, hoppy flavour, actually far too hoppy for the style (it is not a Hopfenweisse, so the excessive amount of hop is unauthorised here) and touches of yeast and dust (not off!) Bitter and slightly citric aftertaste. OK but would be better without the pervasive hop-and-coriander flavour.

Bottle, 5.8%. Roasted and bready aroma, a little plasticky. Almost black colour, seems hazy. Big stable light brown head. The flavour also has a little plastic, but I have had worse. Other than that, a salty liquorice note, a little ashtray. Late roast barley bitterness.

Bottle @ D-Day in Mojnlandet :-) Pours slightly hazy very dark ruby with airy tan head. Faint aroma of malt and coffee, with touches of roast and caramel. Bitter, roasty flavour, with notes of malt and coffee. Slightly sourish and bitter aftertaste. Not bad for a regular porter.
