bottle from the polish grocery store, rethymno, crete. amber/dark orange, practically no head. sweet malty, faint berry aroma. alc noticeable. flavor is sweet malty, honey, alc, faint red berries. faint strange flavor (sour cabbage).

(bottle - 330 ml) Clear gold color with a thin white head. Aroma is sweet and a bit skunky. Very potent. Flavor is pretty sweet and malty at the start with a dry and slightly bitter middle. Finishes surprisingly light with a very smooth malt taste. Alcohol is well hidden.

50cl Can from C1000. Clear dark golden colour, white head. Aroma is sweet, honey, cereal, alcohol, caramel. Flavour is sweet, caramel, honey, a bit fruity, light bittersweet alcohol finish. Medium bodied, soft carbonation. Rather sweet beer, but because it’s all so soft and smooth the sweetness never becomes cloying. Best strong lager I’ve had so far.

Keg 500ml at U Kakpra, Krakow. Gold with white head. At last, not too much carbonation, strong alcohol notes, sweet and quite sticky in character. Richer malts but hardly any hop coming through. Toffee in the background, but a little better than most of the Polish beer so far.

Dark golden coloured beer with almost no head. Nice sweet aroma, flavour is a bit to sweet for me. (Can 50cl)

0,5 liter blik. goed van smaak een beetje amber kleurig bieren smaakt ook een beetje zoet.

Pours orange gold with off white head. Aroma of sweet fruit and a hint of hops. Flavour is quite sweet, bit of caramel malt, and fruity notes.

Bottle from the Polish section in my local offy. Slightly darker than the usual lager like appearance. Sweet and malty and get’s my approval for being stronger than everything in my local offy (except the Tennants Supers of this world) but the alcohol not being all that noticeable. Bit boring but drinkable.
