Bottle. I am just going to lay this really simply. This piece went too far. Honestly I get only marginal maple character, bare hint of orange and no ginger at all. Instead there is shitloads of alcohol warmth and sweet caramelly-dried fruits malt character. Do not get me wrong, there is probably 0% of caramel malts used, but at this strength, it just comes across anyway. I would like to see how this would be if brewed to lets say 7% ABV. Full body, moderate carbonation, hard to drink. Best flavour development when left to warm up almost to room temperature, but that is once again hindering drinkability. Conflicted piece IMO.

Bottle via Pivny raj. Loads of dark malty character, chocolate, cocoa. Full body, rather low carbonation. Light bourbon. Assertive pear character, lots of fruitiness, but the cocoa takes upper hand here. Heavy, sipper, very good.

Bottle from Pivný raj And it's bit of a disappointment. Feels way too boozy, chocolate and vanilla and also some pear. All is there, but somehow doesn't blend together. Good though, not superstar as I was hoping.

Bottle from Pivny Raj Let's do this as a check list: Maple syrup: certainly, sweet maple syrup feel since beginning Ginger: bit I was afraid of, but it's indeed giving it a lovely spicy twist, lovely Orange: orange peel for sure, orange juice not really, but it's in there Flower: this makes me bit curious, cannot say, ginger beats nose and tongue together with maple syrup Quad IPA: c'mon, this quite complex beer, wouldn't have guessed IPA likely without knowing it Overall: Lovely, full bodied, very complex, cannot really decide whether I prefer this one or salty peanut more.

Bottle from Pivný raj It's not as great as I was hoping. It's indeed juicy and well within a style, there's some naughty feel though as it gets warmer. Good

Bottle via Salon piva. Fitting well into style. Moderate body, moderate carbonation, moderate bitterness, malt in the background. There is moderate perceived sweetness, but no malt character to speak of, instead focused on the all out hops character, juicy, fruity, exotic, citrusy. Easy drinking, tasty, quite good.

Bottle from Salon piva home editon. Fuck you Covid-19! Gorgeous aroma, light smoked character, barique and some honey maybe. Sticky mouthfeel, salty caramel, sweet honey feel, peanut butter and warming alcohol. Like on a nose it's nice, but on tongue it's really lovely. Very nice and exceptional.
