Can, 500 ml, 15.1 P
Appearance: Pours beautiful and perfectly clear, dark golden, fat malty body. Body is moderately carbonated. Head is white, thick, frothy, pillowy, initially big, slowly decreasing to medium, leaving nice lacing.
Aroma: Very pure barley grains are going in pair with malty sweetness. Kind of sourish bitterness on top and yeasty touches in nose. Milk, whipped cream, fresh, moderately alcoholic but balanced with its malty base. Comfortably hoppy as for its gravity.
Flavour: Front is sweetish, malty, grainy, than kind of salty and slightly sour. There is a shade of nice bitterness and aromatic yeasty hoppy nose. Later on barley grains are felt on palate with dry oriented saltyness and gentle sourness. Finish duration is medium.
Palate: Body is medium, texture is quite dry oriented, carbonation on palate is moderate to lively, finish feel is moderately alcoholic, moderately astringent, sourish.

had on my first visit to poland, ordered due to my then-empty polish vocabulary deducing mocne meant dark, rather than strong. like most polish moce piwa, chemical, industrial alcohol sweetness with no hop to offset makes this a struggle to finish

Weak head, otherwise OK. I have to agree with fellow reviewers - nothing special, pretty good for a Polish strong one though.

Leave it to the homeboy to beat me to the best review. See rating below. (Nothing Special) sums it up. A tad syrupy, not bad, see above.

Nothing special.
