Malty, roasted, hoppy taste with dark bread, chocolate, coffee, orange peel, raisins, roasted nut, pine needles, spices and a generous piney/citric bitterness in the finish. More than medium body, with a certain sweetness. Rich and hoppy. Very nice.

Batch 01. 500ml corked bottle. 2015 series? But vintage 2014?? Beer name: fyodor's Classic. Dark bottle from smakPiwa.pl. 13% nie za wielka piana ale fajnie ciemna skorupy orzechow wloskich. Ciecz czarna nie przejrzyste, mocno barwi szklo. Zapach malo intensywny mocna i gorzka kawa z lyzeczka kakao bez cukru, tak szalenie wytrawne, czekolada z 90%kakao zalana espresso. Smaczne ale bez wiekszego wymiaru by mozna mowic ze piwo wybitne, ocena druzgocaco zawyzona. Raczej zawod za taka cene. Taste and drink in November 2023

It is an interesting IPA, really dry and mineral for the style, good bitterness, hoppy but it was not so fruity, tobacco, hay, hop, 24.06.18, at Prélaz.
