Dream big. Always dream big, you know. We started small because at the beginning the only thing we had was our dream. We haven't owned any equipment, so our first brews were born at other city and other mash tun entirely. But we took one step at the time and soon our very own, very handcrafted and assembled by hand brewery arrived from Bila Tserkva. We installed it here in Kyiv at the premises of the former lumber house – “lisopylka” in Ukrainian, hence the name of the brew-pub – and continued the pursuit of our dream.
Today we have new state-of-the-art brewery and immensely proud of it. Don't think that we discarded our small but utterly loved old brewing system, because we have, yes you've guessed, BIG plans for it. And we keep on dreaming big. We just want to share this dream of better beer, sheer enjoyment of the drink, greater and more diverse beer culture, share it with you.

Can 375ml @ gunnfryd. Pours black with no head. Aroma has notes of roasted malt, smoked, oak, chocolate and tartness. Taste is light to medium sweet and light sour with a long roasted, chocolate, smoked and tart finish, Body is full, texture is oily, carbonation is soft.

-1 point for the irritating wax. Head gone in seconds over faintly hazed, somewhat darker golden beer. Peach, jeans, sweet buns with glazing. Wild yeast notes. Very sour, lactic and fruitacids. Stonefruit as peach, if unripe. Peach retronasal obvious. Tart, acidburn, lipsmacking acidity, acidthinning, lean. Sharp, severe, almost harsh - one for the real sourheads.

20 July 2025. At Café De Welkom, Ghent. Cheers to the WzW crew!
Hazy dark brown, stable, foamy, tan head. Aroma of Coca-Cola, toasted almond, cold coffee, caramel, prune, overripe melon, dried banana, cough syrup, sweet whisky. Taste has sweet prune, cherry & banana in a caramelly, syrupy, almondy malt body, strengthening the herbal Coca-Cola effect. Herbal hops in the finish, lingering dried fruits, syrup and soft sweet whisky-like alcohol. Medium body, syrupy texture, soft carbonation. Hm, this started off well but didn't improve when warming up (contrary to what you'd expect from an Old Ale), turning a bit artificial.

Хороший стаут кстати, думал будет более пустое, но нет, приятный шоколад, сладость, кофе. Может только балансика побольше бы.
