Style: Strong Pale Lager/Imperial Pils
Elbląg, Poland

Serve in Lager glass

Bottled pours a reddish brown. Winey sweet aroma, taste is sweet grain plus alco fruity burn. Not one of zywiecs better offerings.

Amber golden, puffy white head. Aroma is metallic, syrupy, rough. Taste is again brutally sweet, bready, syrupy, and just no good.

This is the beer I find most emblematic of the given style. Copper-orange color, can’t sustain head. Mostly clear, yet dense looking. Sweet malt nose with big alcohol chops. Hint of vanilla. Taste is exactly what is expected - very sweet yet biting. Thick feel, long bitter finish. Burns the esophagus. A rare beer where the high proof itself carries the day. Much enjoyed.

Light ambergold, small off white head. Malty alcohol, caramel with a light body. Decent, but not good enough to tempt me to buy it again.

bottle thanks to bu11zeye. poured light gold with a white head. aroma was caramel, grain, and slight fruit. flavor was caramel, toffee, and some spice. body was light with medium carbonation.

500 ml bottle pours a clear amber color with a light head and a little lacing. The aroma is the most memorable part of this beer: caramel malt and definite alcohol. Taste is sweet with noticeable carbonation. Pleasant for the price, and lots classier than a malt liquor.

11/29/11. 500mL bottle. Clear amber pour under a very small khaki head that fades to a ring and barely laces at all. Sweet caramel aroma with plenty of fusel alcohol. Sweet caramel flavor as well with bread and more fusels... methinks this is basically a malt liquor but even thicker. Blegh.

Pours a nice bright copper color with a medium-sized off white head that leaves a little bit of lacing. Aromas of grain, malt and alcohol. Flavors of some fruit, caramel and toffee with a slightly harsh alcoholic finish. Light to medium bodied with a nice crisp finish. Overall this was okay.......not bad for the price I guess.
