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.

12/12/2020. Bottle sample courtesy of saxo/fonefan. Pours dark purple to black with minimal head. Aroma of chocolate, rum, roasted malt, toffee, dried fruits, spiced cake. Medium sweetness and moderate roasted bitterness. Medium to full body, oily texture, average carbonation. Enjoyed this the most of the six Oriel's tried today, but the Jack Daniels version's still the best for me.

12/12/2020. Bottle sample courtesy of saxo/fonefan. Pours very dark brown with a bubbly off-white to beige head. Aroma of chocolate, raspberry, roasted malt, vanilla and dried fruit. Didn't get the almond, which for me was no bad thing. Medium sweetness, moderate bitterness, touch of tart. Medium to full body, sticky texture, soft carbonation. Gentle warming finish. Quite enjoyed it.
