biilz	3.6 Wild Card False Gods Аромат интересный, вроде и шоколадный стаут но фрукты есть также при этом, а вернее как будто дольки фруктов добавили в какой то десерт. Цвет черный, пенки почти нету. Вкус тоже начинается с шоколада, немного темных фруктов, карамели и десертности с кислинкой. В целом можно выпить треть бокала на раз. Sunday, November 19, 2023

biilz	2.7 Wild Card Proving Ground Аромат сразу немного странный, вроде и есть нечно подобное фруктов, но как будто они не свежие что ли, легкая сладость. Цвет бледно желтый, пенки почти нету. Вкус тоже смущает. Вроде и есть фруктовые ноты, но они как будто слегкая прелые и затхлые. Послевкусие с легкой кислинкой, даже особо ничто не читается во вкусе. Monday, August 7, 2023
