1.9 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 7/20
0.5l bottle courtesy of and shared with heavy who brought it from Poland (thanks!)
Poured a white medium to small head that didn’t vanish immediately on top of a bronze like dark gold-brown body pierced by lively, uneven cdarbonation. Dusty hop nose gets oily before delivering a shot of alcohol. The taste defies the name of the beer being, in fact, weak, dry, but loaded with alcohol again. Tiny acidic hop. Crappy maltiness. No, I don’t like it. The two I’ve had a few days ago beat this into a pulp.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
500 mL bottle. Sweet, sticky aroma. Dark orange with bubbly, receding head. Sweet honey/caramel malt taste. I found it tasting a little similar to Innis & Gunn... Extra alcohol is not noticeable, this is pretty well balanced. Pretty good, nothing special. Sticky is probably the best description I have for it, though not in a particularly negative way.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
50cl bottle.
Pours amber thin white head.
Aroma of fruits and caramel.
Taste the same, dark fruits (possibly raisin / fig) and light caramel malt.
Enjoyable beer, but nothing spectacular.
1.9 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
Sweet aroma with chemical and caramel notes. Sweet fruity flavor with caramel malt and alcohol notes. Sweet boozy end.
1.6 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 5/20
Amber with tiny head, notes of artificail fruit with hints of yeast, toffee and malt, very sweet and artificial.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Pours a clear dark gold with a white head that quickly dissipates. Sweet grainy aroma with a light alcohol note. Smooth syrupy body but not as thick as I expected. Rich honey malt flavors and a bitter, pungent noble hop finish. Very little off flavors so probably doesn’t have much fillers, always a plus.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottle: Poured a copper clear color with a off white color head. Aroma is very strong with sweet honey and grains.The taste is similar with lots of grain and honey, my teeth almost hurt from the sweetness.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bought this at a local Polish Market, the bottle I have does not look at all like what is shown here, I must have the newer bottle, the label on my bottle is printed black on gold with red in the name ‘Warka’, BBD 8-27-08 on label,
pours a clear bronze gold color, has a small white head, this looks viscous in the glass, left some bubbly lacing on the glass, aroma of malt grain, malt sweetness, faint grass(?) and faint alcohol in the background, flavor of malt and grain, a bit of malt sweetness, a small bitterness at the finish, the alcohol is hardly noticeable which could makes this a sneaker of a drink, with 7% alc. and this beer being easy to drink I can see this gaining up on you, has more then a medium mouth feel, I enjoyed this more then the Baltika 9, it does not have a alcohol attack when it gets cool or warm, easy to drink, not a real complex brew but simple and good.
