0.5 l bottle shared with Marko, thanks. Hazy orange, small off-white head. Flavour is spicy at first, some rosemary, smoked salt, wood, bergamot and a vegetable and earthy touch. Smooth, medium body, mineral, intensely sweet. Flavour is very sweet ripe banana, black pepper, ripe orange, hints of wood that is smoked for some reason. Quite messy. Unusual, unfortunately not very pleasing. Finishes sweet.

0.5l bottle from Pomalo, shared with Hrabren. Hazy golden body, slightly off-white, thick small head, medium retention. Salty aroma, corainder, gin spice shows up as well. Smooth taste, yeasty, vegetal, beans all over the place, smoked salt is correct too, with coriander, some light alcohol, but what's going on here.... need to try it on tap maybe, but this is, well, very much weird. Oh, and warming, bit too warming. Slightly generous rating but let's see.

Bottle shared in Plzeň with everyone who wanted or didn't want to try it really. Clear amber body, off-white head. Light, elegant caramelly and citrusy aroma. Citrusy, caramelly taste, dry and smooth, light pellets maybe. Nice, clean and simple. Didn't mind it!

Bottle, 0.5l. Cloudy amber pour, two finger frothy beige head, medium retention, sticky lacing on the glass. Nice on the nose, malty, wood notes, fruity, subtle liquor in the background.

Medium body, medium to high carbonation, fizzy. Smooth mouthfeel and texture, fizzy, prickly, some chewiness to it. Slightly sticky. Balanced bittersweet taste, more on the bitter side. Aroma of toasted caramel, grains, wood, herbs and spices. Fruity notes, raisins, hints of grapes. Liquory, wine and whiskey notes. Medium to long lasting finish, malty, bitter, quite dry, somewhat boozy aftertaste.

Interesting brew. Definitely not your ordinary amber lager. Enjoyable.
