3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
The alcohol really flexes its muscle in this brew! Some very restrained malt and a moderate amount of hops struggle to make their presence. Very warming indeed, but seems a bit unbalanced overall with the alcohol level a bit distracting. Very unique however, and worth a try.

Just the right amount of body - not too light or too heavy. A unique flavor that reflects the high alcohol content without being overpowering. Simply, fun to drink!

Flavor and Palate : medium full bodied. Big malty base. Clean barley feel , sugars in mid. Slightly earthy at finish paired with some dryness of alcohol. Lighter in body than bock or double bock but not that thin either. Later bitterness noted.

The more I try from Poland, the more I like. This is light at pour with a fat bubbly head. You can easily smell the alcohol and to the taste is between a light doppelbock and a belgian tripel. The alcohol is warming and I for one love it (Of course my favorite type of beer is barlewine). A great strong beer for late winter early spring!

Yikes! Nice light amber appearance with a tight creamy head. First sip, the body is thick and creamy with some nice malt sweetness and then bam! ALCOHOL. Second sip, more alcohol and some caramel notes and Saaz spiciness. The ABV was noticeable throughout, even as an accompaniment to a hot and spicy Thai dinner. Tasted more like Scotch and water and would make for a good sipping brew, warm alongside a good stogie.
