50Cl fles restaurant station Versalm-Safier. Donkergeel bier met mooie stevige schuimkraag. Smaak is vrij bitter en hoppig met iets van graan, wat kruiden en wat geroosterd brood. Heeft meer weg van een kellerbier.

Helder geel biet met weinig schuim. Smaak is bitterzoet met iet van gras en geroosterd brood. Standaard bier.

Licht troebel, lichtgeel bier met veelschuim. Smaak is bitterzoet met iets van gras, wat geroosterd brood en een zwakke hopbitterheid. Smaak is vrij zwak, niet echt bijzonder.

September 2005: Allegedly brewed according to an old Russian porter recipe, with kvas/kwas as one of the ingredients! Brewed by Brauerei Locher "im Auftrag der BALIK Räucherei im Toggenberg AG", website www.balik.com . The Räucherei had even supplied the smoked salmon I had with this beer (330 ml bottle) at the Seafood Bar at Stansted Airport, London (Norwegian salmon, smoked in Switzerland, sold in England, eaten by a Norwegian - a well-traveled fish!) According to the BALIK website the beer should be served cool at 12 degrees C, but I had it served fridge cold. While the coldness must have taken away some of the flavour details, it probably made the beer more drinkable with seafood, taking the edge off the heavy sweetness. The beer has a brown colour with a slight haziness, low head. Aroma and flavour are more like a port wine than a "normal" beer. Very sweet, warming mouthfeel (no surprise at 11% ABV!), spicy, a bit alcoholic, but interesting. Decent hops in the finish.

opalescent pale golden colour, moderate sized off-white head;aroma of lemon zesty, lemony, pear, some nutty, rye bread crusty , floral and herbal notes; taste of linden honey, some grapefruity-citrusy, herbal, roasted nutty and bread crusty notes; really enjoyable one

A clear golden beer with a white lacing. Aroma of strong grainy malt, straw. Taste of strong grainy pale malt, straw cereals.
