Description
The entire idea of Oriel Beer went back in 2015 when we created the brand and started to make the building from scratch. Oriel Beer is a small family brewery, fully operated by ourselves, located in Bucharest, Romania. The name Oriel comes from the archangel of light, wisdom, illumination and sun. He is a patron of the arts and science for his ability to inspire and one of the seven archangels who preside over the world. He sparked our mind with ideas and we created this beautiful project. Since we are a very small brewery, our production capacity is very limited and we can produce around 200 hectoliters per year, but we aim to expand in short time.

-- Bottled, from Beerdome -- Black, mid sized head. Aroma of licorice and salmiak meets oaky cognac. Dryish with full body and dense, rpunded mouthfeel. Salmiak, coffee and peppery cognac. Intense warming finish. Elegant, refined and totally free from anything pastryish.

Bottle ordered from Bereta Brewery and drunk at home. It's dark brown with a touch of mahogany and a bit loose khaki head. Lovely aroma of raspberry jam, light chocolate malt. Sweet taste with more raspberry, molasses, light sweet spice. Earthy hop bitterness in the finish with roasted malt in the aftertaste. Carbonation on the heavy side, but not obtrusive. Wonderful.

12/12/2020. Bottle sample courtesy of saxo/fonefan. Pours very dark brown with a small bubbly off-white head. Aroma of dark and dried fruits, chocolate, roasted malt, coffee, caramel, nutty spiced cake. Medium sweetness, moderate bitterness. Medium to full body, sticky texture, average to soft carbonation. Enjoyed this more than most it seems.
