1.7 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 6/20
500ml can, shared with Finn. Golden-amber in appearance. Off-white, quickly diminishing foam. Sweet smell of earthy malts. Very sweet fruity taste added by almond and toffee. Masked alcohol by all the sweetness [Tromsø, 22.11.2008].
2.9 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle as Warka 7% ; Strong is not on the label; BB 06 19 2009. From Corti Bros. in Sacramento, CA. Brilliant orange tinged golden color with a decent near white head. Aroma of grain and a bit of alcohol. Hint of hop spice. Medium body with frothy carbonation. Flavor is sweetish malt with detectable grassy/spicey hop. Finishes a bit sweet. Surprisingly, it is not a drain pour.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle, 7.0%. Clear dark golden colour. Small white head. The flavour is quite malty, hint of syrup and spicy hops. Quite clean.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle, 500ml. Pours decent translucent copper, with short-living head. Fairly rich on the nose, of malt and hops, and fairly sweet on the palate, with well blended alcohol and balanced with notes of caramel and toffee. Low carbonation, but not suffereing for it. A decent bottle.
3.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 15/20
Warka Strong had a unique and interesting taste. Its sweet flavor was not really what i look for in beers but it was pretty good. overall i purchased a 500ml for $1.50 which is a fair price.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
clear amber, minor white head that doesn’t linger, some lacing. nose of sweet malt, corn syrup. sweet grain/corn in the flavor with floral malts and a slight hoppiness. medium bodied, dry, bitter finish. a tad too sweet in flavor, but still an enjoyable brew. perhaps i am just too forgiving of eastern european beers, probably based on my years working for the CIA behind the iron curtain. but i may have said too much already....you can get single bottles featuring the portrait of kazimierz pulaski @ "binny’s beverage depot" in orland park.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle from La Mesa Market. Medium brownish/amber upon pouring. Roasted malty aroma, with a little bit of lager type sweetness. Sweet and bready up front. Some roastiness. Taste reminds me of a bock, rather than a ESL. Enjoyable.
