danlo	1.6 Iran Bartar Shams Regular / Classic Sample courtesy of Grumbo, cheers Graham! Clear golden colour, thin bubbly white rim and aroma of mash, crystal malt. Taste is sweet, malt, grain, corn, with straw, sawdust, tangy, cardboard notes. Medium bodied, light carbonation, lingering sweet mashy finish. Not the best. Wednesday, December 20, 2023

fiulijn	1.2 Iran Bartar Shams Regular / Classic Bottle at Ryan's Dull dark amber colour, looks oxidized AF. Smell of sweet caramel, perfume, disgusting. Sweetish, weak, ozidized, bread, some caramel, husks, it's the usual Middle East NA garbage, but a bit more fuity. Saturday, January 8, 2022
pictoman	1.1 Iran Bartar Shams Regular / Classic Poured from 320mL(+/-5) bottle. Clear amber with minimal off white head. Cardboard and honey, medicinal veg. Saturday, January 8, 2022
mcberko	0.6 Iran Bartar Shams Regular / Classic 320mL bottle, thanks Pictoman for the shit tick, pours a clear dark amber with a small beige head. Nose is revolting, with loads of cardboard and some skunk cabbage. Flavour is like old, low-grade honey, lots of cardboard, and boiled vegetables. That’s pretty rank. Lots of cardboard, crappy honey and boiled vegetables. Putrid. Saturday, January 8, 2022
teddybeer	1.1 Iran Bartar Shams Regular / Classic Pais #109. Gracias a David Mateo. Cobriza con espuma blanquecina de poca durabilidad. Aroma a cereal crudo y leve tostado. Sabor igualmente a cereal crudo, cartón mojado. Difícil de beber. Un par de tragos han bastado. Tuesday, January 8, 2019
Craftakt	2.1 Iran Bartar Shams Regular / Classic Ein Malzbier, dass sich zwischen Wasser und leicht geröstetem Malt nicht so recht entscheiden will. Friday, November 2, 2018

MarkoNm	1.6 Shams Stout A gift from a friend. Pours dark brown, almost black, topped with a thin and nonlasting white head. Smelly nose, some grains and extra dusty. Taste gentley sweet, cardboard and corn syrup style. Lighter body. A bit sparkly texture. Not unpleasant, apart from the smell, but not much beer like. I guess if there's nothing else around, it'll do. Friday, May 4, 2018
doctoryak	2.6 Shams Beer 1977 bottle discovered in cellar, Elayieh, North Tehran. As Iran is one of the pioneers of both wine (5500 BC) and beer-making (3500 BC), decided it would be nice to drink a bit of history. Appearance: Pours well despite forty years of ageing, dark tan colour, no carbonation noted. Head size minimal with no longetivity. Colour more appealing than age would suggest. Aroma: Floral aroma conjures images of a colourful 1970s Iran with flares and short skirts giving no inkling of what was to come. Hints of juniper and other herbs also contribute. Palate: With age, certain aspects may have disappeared, however there remains a malty complexity which gives a satisfying feeling around the front of the mouth. No real vinegariness to it. Taste: Not disastrous. Hints of molasses with a caramelly flavour which gives more satisfaction on subsequent sips. Overall: A nice liquidy memory of a nation’s increasingly-forgotten history. Would have probably earned some decent coin had it been sold on an online marketplace, but that would have required smuggling it outside of the country. Has kept unbelievably well given the amount of time that has passed. Sunday, May 7, 2017
markoijelena	1.4 Iran Bartar Shams Regular / Classic Plastic Bottle 1l sample at Ratebeer Belgian Winter Gathering 2017 Antwerp, Belgium at Beerlovers Bar 25.02.2017. Thanks everybody for sharing great beers! Pour it clear golden color with medium white head. Aroma light bread. Taste detergent, not drinkable honestly, funky, eggy, ah. Tuesday, April 4, 2017
tderoeck	1.2 Iran Bartar Shams Regular / Classic 25/II/17 - 1L PET bottle @ RBBWG (Beerlovers Bar, Antwerpen) - BB: n/a (2017-230) Thanks to Eugene for sharing the bottle! Clear orange stuff, no head. Aroma: cow fodder, sweet, grains, yuck. MF: lively carbon, medium to light body. Taste: pretty sourish, cow fodder, bah. Aftertaste: mainly sourish, wet grains, not much else. Don’t like! Tuesday, March 14, 2017
Aminatchime	1 Iran Bartar Shams Regular / Classic Geproefd @ RBBWG2017. Kleur is helder blond zonder schuimkraag. Geur doet denken aan oud brood en plastiek. Smaak is waterig, chemisch en een beetje bitter. Tuesday, March 14, 2017
sebletitje	1.1 Iran Bartar Shams Regular / Classic Bottle share at RBBWG 2017, thanks for sharing. Dorée, col blanc fin. Grains et encore grains, ne devrait me^me pas être sur RB étant donné que c’est aussi plus une sorte de malta que de bière. Rappel plus une légère eau de brassin, sans plus. Rien en terme houblonnage. Friday, March 3, 2017
kraddel	1.6 Iran Bartar Shams Regular / Classic Sampled at the RBBWG2017 . Thnx for sharing, everyone ! Pours clear blonde, no real head. Smell is chemial, maltsyrup, taken to a new extreme. Taste is full, bit bitter? Sharo, wattery, chemical, crisp. Maltliquor. Not good at all. Monday, February 27, 2017
Alengrin	1.2 Iran Bartar Shams Regular / Classic Shared by 77ships at RBBWG ’17. Moussy but quickly dissolving, egg-white head, golden blonde robe, cristal clear. Aroma of fried Brussels sprouts, old bread crust, plastic, grass, minerals, dry muesli. Neutral flavor, graininess throughout, bit minerally, very cereally and thin with medium carbo, unpleasant rubbery and plastic-like effect in the finish. Nothing worthwile by any means, even within the non-alcoholic category, this has clearly not been made with any ambition whatsoever but I guess people in Iran may be able to enjoy this. I did not, apart from ticking an unlikely country to drink any beer from... Sunday, February 26, 2017
77ships	0.5 Iran Bartar Shams Regular / Classic Courtesy of a friend who got in in Iran. 1000 ml. green plastic bottle than shamelessly rips off the Heineken design, its hilarious. Sampled @ RBBWG VI (2017). Extremely pale golden, little white head. Smells like a freshly fertilized field in the worst way, industrial, chemical, plastic, something dead & rotting. Taste is like watered down fertilizer or something, chemicals, cancer, its mind-blowingly awful,... I do not want to drink it further or descibe it. Body is chemical malt soda, industrial,... Truly the worst. Alcohol is apparently easy to obtain in Tehran. Maybe in smaller villages with a more strict religious police this has some appeal? Sunday, February 26, 2017
BuckeyeBoy	1.2 Iran Bartar Shams Regular / Classic Bottle pours golden topped with a white head. Nose is corn and garbage some sadness aswell. Taste is just as bad wow this one is so bad. Saturday, February 25, 2017
Svartvit	0.8 Iran Bartar Shams Regular / Classic Bottle shared during the November THT tasting at deanso’s place. Pours a clear amber with almost no head. Reeks of corn syrup and tastes like cheap cereal. Truely one of the worst things I’ve ever tasted. Saturday, November 26, 2016
mariuspoenari	1.1 Iran Bartar Shams Regular / Classic Bottle shared at the November THT at deanso’s place. Clear amber pour, a thin, almost non-existent white head. Notes of boiled cereal, corn, sugar. Ugh. Saturday, November 26, 2016
Benzai	1.9 Iran Bartar Shams Regular / Classic Sampled from bottle @ Benzai’s final THT although MrHangover thinks it’s something else. Clear somewhat rusty orange color, no head. Smell and taste malts, grainy, sweetish. Could be worse. Friday, November 25, 2016
kermis	3.8 Iran Bartar Shams Regular / Classic Bottle shared. Clear golden with a tiny ring head. Aroma cereal, corn flakes and grain. Flavour is above light sweet and light bitter. It’s like cornflake drink! Like juicing cornflakes! Light bodied with soft carbonation. In a strange way, I like it! Friday, November 25, 2016
MrHangover	0.7 Iran Bartar Shams Regular / Classic Bottle at almost Dean’s final tasting, but we’ll call it his final tasting anyway. What would you expect from a tick from Iran. Just that and nothing more. Yuk. Friday, November 25, 2016
Scotty001	0.9 Iran Bartar Shams Regular / Classic Really, really bad. Utterly rancid and one of the worst things I’ve ever tasted. Saturday, October 29, 2016

Desverger	1.4 Iran Bartar Shams Regular / Classic Bottle@Tuesday Taphouse Share, Copenhagen - my first Iranian beer! Pours golden amber with tiny white head.

Ungstrup	1.5 Iran Bartar Shams Regular / Classic Bottled. An amber beer with a beige head. The aroma has notes of malt, metal, and vitamins. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, caramel, and brewmash, leading to a dry finish. The body is thin. Tuesday, October 20, 2015
Borup	1.3 Iran Bartar Shams Regular / Classic 33 cl. Bottle. Clear golden colour with a white head. Aroma and flavour of malt, grain, bread and watery. Tuesday, October 20, 2015

ShivanDragon	2.7 Iran Bartar Shams Regular / Classic En nu ben ik er schijtziek van, OF flikker al die low alcohol’s eruit of sta ze toe voor een bepaald land, ik ben er wel klaar mee, flikker deze rating gewoon onder een bestaande, want een nieuwe wordt toch niet geaccepteerd...

Aroma is behoorlijk citroen en muntblaadjes. Smaken zijn redelijk aan de zoete kant, lichte citrus, mint is redelijk aanwezig, zoetigheid komt van de dadelsiroop lees ik. lage co2, zacht fruit zuurtje. Best smaakvol moet ik zeggen, kan mij best voorstellen dat dit in de temperaturen in Iran dit uitstekend drinkbaar is. Wel redelijk naar de munt thee neigende... Monday, January 12, 2015
ogivlado	1.3 Iran Bartar Shams Regular / Classic Bottled 330ml. -Courtesy of Marko (thanks!), Shared with him, heavy and Slovak guys. Darker golden, minimal white head, sweet nose. Sweet malty, boiled potatoes and hint of grain. Sweet finish also. Sunday, July 6, 2014
heavy	1.1 Iran Bartar Shams Regular / Classic 0.33 l bottle that was on the tasting menu thanks to Marko! It poured really nice amber body with small head. Aroma clearly showed that only the appearance would be pleasant, some potato-grain-corn smell. Flavor was grainy, does not seem fermented, sweetish and utterly boring in its quite water body. At the end, I believe that this is the worst of three Iranian "things" I’ve had. Wednesday, June 25, 2014
Gurthnar	1.7 Iran Bartar Shams Regular / Classic Bottle. Aroma raw mash, potatoes. Clear golden colour. Taste is really sweet and as the aroma suggests. Friday, June 6, 2014

Marko	1.1 Iran Bartar Shams Regular / Classic Huge thanks to Krešo who brought it from Iran! We finally tried this, bit sad Matt wasn’t here, but still... it couldn’t last much longer. Deep golden body. Clean malty nose, "raw mash", dry notes, Gurthnar said potato - and yeah, it definitely is. Creamy potato taste, crap. Sweet crap. Poor Iranians. Thursday, June 5, 2014
Cuso	1.3 Iran Bartar Shams Regular / Classic Bottle kindly shared by Croatian crew. Dark golden color with small white head. Sweet malt, syrup in aroma. Taste, sweet malty, fruity syrup, cooked vegetable. Country #105. Thursday, June 5, 2014

Koelschtrinker	2.3 Iran Bartar Castle Brau Mit großen Dankeschön an Bierkrug. Herber, ziemlich wässriger Beginn mit Apfelnoten. Wässrig, wenig Getreide, süffig. Erfrischend, erstaunlich gut. Weiter Apfelnoten, geringe Herbe. OK! 6/6/8/6/6/6 Tuesday, January 31, 2012
Grima	2.7 Iran Bartar Castle Brau Bottle at the Wasana’s Winter Beer Tasting 2012! Thank you Bierkrug! Pours into the glass a strong golden yellow beer, which has nearly no foam. It smells very fruity and grainy, pleasantly sweet. Starts strange, with sweet malts, fruity and slightly watery. Slightly chemical. In the middle you get used to it, and the fruity component is very pleasant. Goes to a slightly musty-malty and chemically-sweet finish! Well done for a NA! Monday, January 30, 2012
