Grand like fools gold. Some tangy mash malt and aome faint grain. Very cloying finish. Tap poured into a one liter olastic bottle for a dollar from Beer Shop in Chisinau.

1L PET from a taproom. Like any other standard cvas - huge burnt sugar sweetness, spicy notes of rye. In case of Cogîlnic, the carbonation is almost flat - that is the only thing that sets it apart. OK, but too sweet.

25-SEP-2017. PET from the brewery. Almost clear deep gold, off-white head. The aroma is full of diacetyl, more like pork fat than butter, must be some yeast in there too. Some malt and grain in the background. The taste plain sugar/malț sweetness. And the there's butter. And the there dioxide. No hops. Not undrinkable, but certainly peculiar. 4-3-4-3-7=2,1



26-APR-2015. PET 50 CL. Golden witl a slight haze, white frothy head. Tons of "rustic" grains and some malts, butterscotch, oily, spicy-bitter and light astringent finish. Oohh... 3-2-4-2-7=1,8




29-OCT-2014. ON TAP. Head: white, small, frothy, poor retention. Colour: golden-amber, slightly hazy. Aroma: weak, grainy, dirty barrel. Taste: thin, yet harsh sulfury, very light bitterness, some CO2 acidity. 3-2-3-1-6=1,5

Draft 1 liter PET courtesy of Boystout, thanks very much!clear bright golden color, scant white head. Aroma of white pepper. Taste is watery and slightly bitter straw. No off flavors, but there’s not much there there.

Thanks, Boystout! Deep golden. The aroma is toasty/buttery. The body is soft with low carbonation. Light diacetyl. Sweetish, not much beer character.
