Really good Armenian style grilled meats here. Both the grilled pork shush kebabs (shishlaki) or the grilled lamb chops.

0,5 flaske fra super'n på hjørnet, delt med Kitty på hotellrommet i Jerevan: klar gylden med fint skum som varer. Lys malt, urter, høy og et streif av slapp citrus. Ok bitterhet, men mersmaken er totalt fraværende. Abv er 4,7.
