Sampled from bottle @ Deans Winter Shelter Tasting. Black color, small light brown head. Smell and taste malts, lightly roasted malts, lightly sweet, mocha, something weird.

Nawet dobre to piwo jak na piwo z odleglej wyspy. Piwo typu mleczny stout z odrobina slodowosci i nawet palonego slodu na podniebieniu. Wyrazny gozkawy i palony posmak lecz dosc szybko sie to ulatnia wiec posmak na dluzszy czas nie pozostaje. Fajna buteleczka o poj 275ml daje sie wypic w calosci. Kolor intensywnie glegoko czarny i tylko w niektorych miejscach zdarzaja sie przeswity. Niemniej piwo jak na egzotyke godne polecenia.

Bottle from Tesco, Watford. Poured a very dark ruby, close to black with a tan head which dissipated rather rapidly. Aroma of chocolate, caramel and peat. Very sweet flavours of cocoa, milk chocolate and dates. Finish was a little more balanced with notes of ash, tobacco and some reduced milk.

12 oz. bottle. Light gold color, with a small, off-white head. The aroma is rye bread, light cereals, pilsener hops, and a little earthiness. Chalky sweetness, and light spicy hoppiness. Light to medium body, sticky, and thick. Overall, this is a surprisingly heavy pale lager, with a nice, mellow hop profile.

Bottle: Pours clear, light gold with a short white head. Sour grain malt aroma. Taste is lemon, grain malt, corn. Plain, but decent for a lager from that region.

Straw blond colour. A plain tasting beer but it’s quite fresh, and clean. Just a thirst quencher, nothing more.

330ml bottle from Beers of Europe. First lager I’ve had that is seriously grainy smelling, like sticking your head in a sack of malt. Pale gold, no head, thin stream of bubbles. Corn comes through on the taste. Slightly soapy bitterness. Watery and not very good.
