Description
It all has started with a dream. OK, let's be honest, it's started with a glass of beer. Brewed by someone else.
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.

Dass dieses Bier sauer ist, verwundert nicht (und kann auch gut sein), aber muss es gleich so viel Säure sein? Wenn man auf sowas steht, dann hat man hier ein tolles Bier gefunden. Allerdings finden sich somit keine weiteren Aromen.

Vom Varvar kommt wieder dieses komische Sauer-Bier. Es ist auf jeden Fall einmal etwas neues: Ein Sauerbier, das mit frischen Kirschen vergoren wurde. Dadurch beisst es nicht so stark und macht es leichte bekömmlich als ein klassisches Sauerbier, auch wenn es noch ordentlich Säure hat. Etwas verstörend wirken die kleinen Zwillige mit den Kirschköpfen, die böse-verwirrt dreinblicken...

Bottle 33 cl. Pours an opaque jet black with a thick and creamy, light brown head. Sweet soy aroma, not so much roast. Rich, malty body, brown sugar and molasses and again savory soy notes. I may be mistaken, in which case I apologize, but it appears that a lot of the fermentables in here are not malt. Doesn't taste bad, just doesn't have that all-malt feel. 110618

Bottle 33 cl. Pours a dark brown with an orange hue and a dense and lacing beige head. Interesting aroma of licorice roast and aroma hops blending in. Fairly rich, malty body, solid roast with an aromatic touch. Seems more roast bitter than hop bitter. The kind of Black IPA that is more like a hopped up Stout. 080618
