Jablonowo Belfast 8.1 %

Bottled. Interesting malty aroma. Flavor is malty too but alcohol tones are strong. Not so bad. At first I think that 8,1% beer is beer for drunkardas(like most of estonian terrible strong beers)but after bottle this beer is normal strong beer.

can. Clear dark brown colour, medium-size head. Dry mouthfeel, hints of roasted malt and caramel, also dark chocolate and very shy hints of coffee. Medium-bodied, the strength is well disguised.

The majority of beer from Jablonowo Brewewry are poor, wattery, taste lacking, poor quality pilsners or other majority of strong lagers being mediocre as for Polish standards for a good strong lager beer. This one shares all the same features of unideality but to make it more interesting is Dunkler Bock. In fact the strategy of Jablonowo Brewery was to make a beer reminding Irish Stout, as the can says "strong irish style stout" what is bogus.
The foam is initially thick, off-brown, first seemed firm and strong, but now it is getting bubbly very quickly, what stays is 3mm foam, colour of body: deep dark amber, like strong earl grey, aroma is sth like bock beer, malty and yeast, flavour; caramel, smooth, sweet, but unpleasant alcoholic nose, no smoke, no hops, no roast, some bitterness but dominated by alcohol. I have drunk more alcoholic beers so it is not that bad, but all in all poor brew lacking full taste and generally far below Polish average standards of beer. The taste pretends to be interesting but I think that is all what it does. Too simple, too flat, too much white sugar blended with beer. Each can tastes a bit different, I mean how they really managed to get any certificat of quality???

"Browar Jabłonowo" is currently the worst brewer in Poland, majority of beers are pitiful pils-s, lagers of no quality, very cheep and worth the price, I seek for interesting beers and I try every dunkel, porter or any other non-lager, now it is time for "BELFAST", the can says "strong irish style stout" which is ridiculous, but let us proceed... thick foam, off-brown, first seemed firm and strong, but now is is getting bubbly very quickly, what stays is 3mm foam, colour; deep dark amber, like strong earl grey, aroma is sth like bock beer, malty and yeast, flavour; caramel, smooth, sweet, but unpleasant alcoholic nose, no smoke, no hops, no roast, some bitterness but dominated by alcohol. I have drunk more alcoholic beers so it is not bad, but all in all poor brew lacking full taste. HEY YOU BREW MASTERS FROM JABLONOWO!!!! PUT MORE QUALITY TO THE SH**T YOU BREW!!!!

Can. Clear orange brown coloured with a huge off white head. Aroma of malts and caramel with fruity notes. Sweeet flavour of caramel and cardboard. Dry roasted finish. Porter???
