Bottle from Pezinská pivná pumpa. A lovely Q. It's actually a plum bomb and as I love slovak plum brandy I only rate high.

From Jun 2006

Poured from 33cl bottle(best by 08/09) a cloudy dark brown with a large head of foam that dissipated slowly leaving just a fine layer with lots of lacing.

The smell is all sweet and fruity and yeasty with strong notes of plum. A very nice nose indeed.

The taste is very sweet up front; I note molasses & fig(?) with just a touch of the plum that I noted in the smell and no yeasty flavour at all. The alcohol is not a factor in the taste but does create a bit of a warming feeling...nothing wrong with that but I know that 1 of these is all that I could handle at 1 sitting. ;^)

Bottom line: I had this brew a couple of years ago and I have to honestly say, I didn't care much for it at the time but now, after expanding my palate's horizons, so to speak, I find this brew a definite winner and certainly a world class product. I thoroughly recommend it!

Clear deep amber colour, small but persistant beige head, fair lacing. Aroma roasted malts, dark fruits, caramel, some yeast. Taste medium sweet and light bitter, malty, dark fruits, candy sugar, light caramel, spicy notes. Medium body, creamy texture, average carbonation, very good, smooth, tasty and easy to drink.
