Cerveza con cuerpo medio y alta carbonatación. En su aroma se destacan la malta y los frutos rojos. Al paladar es una cerveza dulce con una pequeña pizca de amargor.

At Bier Markt Montreal a must.
A) Brown, mahogany body with moderate head that laces and lasts.
S) Earthy, musty, with caramel, and fall grain fields, malt.
T Follows the smell, with an fall orchard, rich earth notes, and some metal.
F) Sweet, but not cloying, does not clean up as much as I would like in the finale.
O) Original, earthy but not my favorite dubble.

Nice beer. Not a ton of sweetness but nice balance between malt and caramel/sweet. I like this beer. Had it in draft during trip to Poland. Seems to be readily available

On tap.
Looks a clear amber brown with a thick tan head.
Smell and taste are good, though the aromas are not that strong. Belgian candi sugar, sweet raisin and cherry and caramel.
Feels smooth and sweet. Caramel sweetness in the body is followed with a somewhat drier finish.
Pretty good!
