2nd Jan 2011: Another Polish beer that has turned up in rural Shropshire, mostly for the migrant workers, but also for beerhunters like me. This gold and black 500ml can was best before 23 Mar 2011, poured into a ’Leffe’ stemmed tulip glass (twice). Deep golden body, clear, bright and darker than most lager beers. The pure white head soon turned into a thin wisp and collar. Malty molasses in the aroma, treacle and toffee type smells, but not overly sweet. The taste is all malt, a slight hop feel towards the end of the mouthfeel, the alcohol is fairly well hidden, just appearing once the malt flavours begin to fade in the mouth. Pleasantly suprised, thought this would be an alcoholic street drinker special, this isn’t the case.

Thin head with a dark yellow strong-lager body like any other. Soft aroma of hops and particle board, but not overpowering, some fruity notes. Flavour is heavy caramel and chocolate, a total surprise for this type of brew and makes it much more palatable. And hides the alcohol. This is a unique flavour for a strong lager, I’d drink it ahead of several others. But it still ain’t great.

Originally rated August 2005. Label says Warka in big red letters (not the word Strong) and the ABV is 7% on this one, bought at the LCBO. Pours a nice rich amber colour with a decent head. The lacing is pretty sticky. Slow carbonation. The nose had roasted malt and some alcohol. Smell of corn comes out after a 10 minute breathing gap, with some grain. Mouthfeel is kind of syrupy, but smooth. The taste is easy going malt with a hoppy overlay. Different in a way, but nothing too exceptional. Drinkability is good for a strong brew.
