Description
Dorst are modern craft brewers that guest brew or small scale contract brew in Sofia, Bulgaria. At the moment we distribute our beers in kegs and 330ml bottles. Dorst are two good friends that have met in Oxford, United Kingdom. One from Bulgaria and the other from the Netherlands. Both of them beer enthusiasts, one of them a home brewer. Because we contract brew at small scale we can be nimble. Our goal is to brew seasonal beers with a twist. Dorst is a Dutch word. This is what the most famous Dutch dictionary says it means: dorst (de; m) behoefte aan drinken (The need to drink) hevig verlangen (intense longing) Our goal is to make beers we love and want to drink ourselves. It’s our creative outlet and a passion project. We believe in our product and we try to be transparent about what we are and what we are not. We are also very social so come say hi to us on social media.

Bottle at the flat in Sofia - picked up from Nosferatu. Pours mostly clear orange-gold with a creamy, mostly white head. Lightly sweet with notes of pine, dirty grass, sun-kissed grains, citrus peel. Medium bodied with fine, massaging carbonation. Finishes with some aged pine, earth, grass, dried citrus rind. So so.

Bottle at the flat in Varna - picked up at Teddy Beer. Pours mostly clear orange-gold with a foamy, white head. Light sweet flavour with assertive piney bitterness, some dirty grass, semi-ripe citrus fruits, orange peel. Medium bodied with active, massaging carbonation. Almost aggressive bitterness in the finish, all pine and grass, secondary citrus fruit notes. Decent.

Bottle BBE 15.12.2017. Smell of oak, alcohol, raisins. Very dark brown colour, high dark brown head. Aroma of oak, rum, alcohol, raisins, some yeast and hops. Bitter, medium sweet. Ashy palate. Wild carbon. Surprisingly light body for this ABV, could benefit from more heaviness.
