Description
Birbant is one of the pioneers of Polish craft brewing - bold, independent, and driven by creativity. We don’t follow the noise - we brew what truly matters.

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

Palone, czekoladowe, torfowe, podkłady kolejowe, bandaże, wędzone śliwki. Barwa czarna, nieprzejrzysta, piany brak. Goryczka niska, czekoladowa. Gładkie, brakuje większej pełności, świetnie zagrała beczka po laphroig, nie czuć alkoholu.

Shared at BBT 31/01/2022. Med-full body, med-high carbonation. Lots of hazelnut, but also lots of green apples, also lots of sharp boozy alcohol. Also medium sharp fruity sourness, which has no real place here. This is simply not good, fails on several levels. The malty complexity is good, but flawed in several ways.

Black color with low beige head. Aroma: initially loads of puff - peat, medicinal, iodine then layers of chocolate, molasses and dried dates appear. Taste: Laphroaig character at its best - lots of hospital and pflasters, peat and as it warms up chocolate, prunes and dates overtake, bit watery feeling. Full bodied, low carbonation, low to moderate carbonation. If more oily in texture, this would be a dessert from Islay. Still very very good.
