Michcio (2411) - Gdansk, POLAND - APR 21, 2024
UPDATED: APR 21, 2024 Barwa bursztynowa, klarowne, piana biała, dość obfita, dość trwała. W aromacie nuty ziołowe, lekki tytoń, ciastka, herbatniki. W smaku słodowe w typie herbatnikowym, do tego zioła i tytoń, estry po ogrzaniu. Goryczka do średniej, wysycenie niskie do średniego, ciało w normie. Niezłe, ale trochę za bardzo estrowe pod koniec.

sparta (4335) - Pärnu, ESTONIA - DEC 31, 2023
UPDATED: JAN 1, 2024 Õlle on selline jook, et iga uus kord kui klaasi või pudeli suule tõstad, siis leiad midagi uut, sõltuvalt tuhandest-miljonist pisiasjast, mis hetke olukorda mõjutavad. Seega piirdun iga õlle juures selle tekstiga.

Scopey (24178) - Oldmeldrum, SCOTLAND - AUG 30, 2023
UPDATED: AUG 30, 2023 Bottle from Asda online. It pours clear brown with a sturdy off - white head. The aroma is sweet, molasses, dried fruits, cherry, blueberry, Eccles cake, liquorice, fruit & nut chocolate, and toasty grain. The taste is dry, bitter - sweet, toothy, chewy, toasty brown sugars, candied fruits, dried berries, cola cubes, cherry cola, earthy, leafy, varnished oak and warming alcohol boost with a drying, chewy finish. Average body and moderate, prickly carbonation. Fruity cola boost vibes. Not a huge amount of depth. Ok.
