Amber color, foamy head. Malty aroma with berries. I can smell the sourness of an infected beer. Also the same type of sourness in the flavor, not too annoying, by the way. malt and red berries. Some biscuit. Just a bit of bitterness in the aftertaste. Not too bad.

Bottle. Orange color. Orange peels, marmalade, anis and coreander in the spicy aroma and flavor. Sweetish, with some ginger in the aftertaste. Just a hint of tartness. Quite drinkable, in spite of the spices. Maturing has obviously softened this beer.

Swing top bottle. Love the label. Blonde, cloudy. Yoghurt, yeast and flowery and earthy hops in both aroma and flavor. Thick mouthfeel, very much like skimmed milk. Vegetable notes. Strange brew.

From bottle. Black and opague. Roast, licorice and onions in the aroma. Sharp citrus flavor, roasty with coffee and licorice. Very tasty, but out of balance.

Many thanks for this beer to Ewa Skorska from Piw Paw. Piwo jest mega ladnie wygladajace, nalane do tulipana Duvela, z gigantyczna piana, ale malo trwala, spore nagazowanie, W zapachu melasa, w smaku slodkie alkoholowe, syrop klonowy pomieszany z sokiem brzozowym, jest tez slodzona daktyla. Alkohol na pierwszym planie, niestety dosc przeszkadzal.
