12 oz bottle...outstanding steam beer. A little fruity, a tad bit sweet as well as a dry finish make this very drinkable. I’ll have another one...

A delicious beer that has a deep amber coloring and a light brown small head. Dough flavor with a slight fruity nutty taste. Thoroughly enjoyed this beer and will buy again if possible.

Grzesiek79 (2357) - Radom, POLAND - DEC 16, 2012
Jest to jeden ze słabszych przedstawicieli z Flying Doga jakie piłem. Kolor ładny, jasno-bursztynowy. Lukrecjowy posmak w ustach i gorycz na finiszu. Piana gruba, ale mało trwała. Anchor Steam sporo lepszy.

angelkostvo (267) - CZECH REPUBLIC - DEC 15, 2012
Amber color with small head. Aroma of Molasses , caramel, smoke,coffee, vanilla. Taste is light sweet, medium bitter. Creamy texture, average carbonation and dry finish. Not bad but I was probably expecting more.

Mr_TBone (168) - Hollywood, California, USA - NOV 27, 2012
Good beer - didn’t know it was a steam until post drink - big bready notes, almost doughy like wheat dough. Very malty for a nice warm ferm lager. So drinkable, really liked it.

ElDesmadre (934) - Mikołów, POLAND - NOV 20, 2012
Bottle. Amber with a small head. Aroma is toasted malt, ripe apples and floral notes, plus some hints of other fruit (strawberries perhaps?) and some stale water drenched cloth. Light, watery body and flavour. Unpleasant, rough, astringent-bitter finish, almost alcoholic in its feel. Bad beer.

Pours clear dark red with a thin white head... Sweet and sour aroma.. Taste is some brown sugar..and malts, not bad but easy drinking
