Tthe look is nice, redish golden body with almost creamy head, aroma is acidic and kind of rich, alcoholic, but the flavour is dry and dusty, rowan berry, juniper berry, TOP MOCNE’s dryness is very disturbing though, lack hop and balance, very rough and jaggy

Cornish flavoured. No bitterness into the finish. Vague metallic note. Alcohol presence.

i agree with my predecessors-in-drinkin’ that the look is nice, redish golden body with almost creamy head, aroma is acidic and kind of rich, I can even say that it reminds specific top-fermented beer aroma, alcoholic, but the flavour is dry and dusty, rowanberry, juniper berry, brew is all in all rather poor but not as poor as Mr D from Krakow described, he must have gotten an old bottle(just like I did with SZPUNT MOCNE, which was surprisingly good the first time but none of later tasings confirmed the first impression) TOP MOCNE’s dryness is very disturming though, lack hop and balance, very rough and jaggy

The best thing about this beer is its nice look, with big and foamy head. Awful, dirty aroma - the beer just stinks. Taste is dusty, or maybe even sandy; almost no bitterness. Not impressive, even in Polish strong lager standards.

Bottled (labelled Top Mocne). Golden colour, firm head. Dusty cereal aroma. Fruity and dry with medium bitterness. The remaining impression however is - dusty...
