The Amber Brewery is one of the most modern small and medium brewery companies in Poland. Located in the midst of morainal hills surrounding Gdansk, the Brewery proudly continues excellent brewery traditions present in this region for centuries.
Every brand is for us individual and unique. That is why each of them is promoted in a different way, taking into account customs connected with the consumption of individual beer kinds and the judgments of consumers.

Bottled. Very dark brown, beige head. Rich aroma of licorice and dark bread. Full bodied with soft mouthfeel. Rich flavours of tobacco, licorice and brandy. I have often wondered what a Polish porter from a brewery that makes good lagers would taste like, when even the worst brewers do decent porters. This is the answer - excellent!

500ml bottle from Vinmonopolet, bestillingsutvalget. Patchy, white head covering a bright, golden body, fragile lace. Carefully pale malty aroma with hops. Mild caramel malty taste, mid-dry, followed by ditto mild hoppy ending. Clean in the mouth. Well balanced and above par for the style. Nice with the Sunday fish (shared with Frau Eva, Tromsø 29.01.2012).

Pours ruby-tinged brown with a large, quickly fading head.Nose shows roasted malt, chocolate liqueur, booze, soft vegemite.Flavours are less roasty, much sweeter. Lots of toasty melanoidin malt and faint chocolate. Too sweet for my liking though.Could use much more carbonation, very syrupy body.

Euro Market, Queens 500ml ($2.50): Pours a darkish amber color with a beige head. Licorice, sugar, plums, sugarplums, and some other nice stuff. Kind of sweet right up in the middle. Lots of heavy dark fruitiness right in the middle. Finish is kind of dry and fruity. Easy drinking considering the sweetness. A sort of unique bock, but not nearly the best.

500ml bottle. Thick blackish-brown, with a massive beige-brown head. The aroma is sweet and sugary, some fruit laced chocolate. Not really that great of a beer, rather thin and lacks depth, and is too strong to really session and enjoy. Lots of prune notes, like you mixed chocolate milk and prune juice. I really get no hop character. Sweet, malt extract taste. Not unlike a sweet Dunkel or Caribbean Stout in it’s overwhelming fruity chocolate sugariness, but this is a Mocne at heart. Not one I’d buy again.

500 mL bottle from Total Wine West Richmond, VA. Pours a dark brown color with a medium tan head. Good head retention. Aroma of roasted malts, raisins, chocolate, earthy notes. The taste is cherries, raisins, chocolate, roasted malts, anise and a faint hoppy finish. Medium-full bodied, soft carbonation and a faint bit of booze. Nice.

Bottle from the Norwegian vinmonopolet. Dark amber colour, with a small off white head. Strong and a very deep sugary sweetness of malt and caramel. Sweet candy nose.

0.5l bottle. Pours a clear deep reddish body with a small bubbly caramel head. Aroma is sweet, lots of dark caramel with notes of rum-raisins, licorice and hints of nuts and chocolate. It has a light sticky mouthfeeling, average carbonation and medium to light-bodied. Really sweet flavors. Some burned pungent and almost metallic caramel notes, and it also has some hints of some nuts and black currants in the finish. Ends kinda quick and watery. Drinkable, but not really good.
