Bought at a Supermarket in Olomouc (Moravia, Czech Republic). From a half liter bottle poured into a mug.
-Dark amber colour. Small foam head.
-Sweet cinnamon smell
-Fresh caramel taste. Sweet.
-Rough after taste. Good.

It is a good beer. It is like the Spanish Voll Damm but less strong. I like it

Amber color with a thick one finger beige head with medium retention.
Aroma with predominant notes of honey candy, orange marmalade and cinnamon.
Sweet but still relatively balanced flavor with notes of caramel, orange jam, noble hops, honey, cinnamon, melon, wood and just a bit of toasted and grainy malts. Dry aftertaste with a balanced bitterness.
Light bordering medium body with appropriate carbonation. Alcohol of 9% abv couldn’t be more disguised.
Interesting and different from what I initially expect, it may be the wheat malt. Hard to fit to a style. That is the type of beer that a Malt liquors should envy. For some reason its sweetness did not bothered me, which is positive.

Bottle Number 9! I'm slowly coming to the end... too soon! Blind Beers are definitely the best beers, no joke.

A- An interesting tangerine color, light carbonation. Singular bubbles independent of cascades rise from the nucleation points of the glass. A finger of head developed on the pour of purest wedding lace that slowly dissipated to a complete pond scum. The collar is relatively large compared to most other beers, but the lacing is too light.. disappointingly so and the stickiness of it is minimal at best.

S- Strong orange zest is the first thing that pops into my mind. Orange candy sweetness with the bitterness of citrus fruit rind. A light citric acid background follows the sweetness. In the middle of everything is a sharpness I equate to most spiced beers. Like a pumpkin ale that uses the whole kitchen cabinet without the identifying aromas.

T- Hmm. Wow, after the nose this confuses me. It instantly assaults with classic scotch ale flavors but it doesn't look nor smell like one. Super sweet, malty. Caramel and toffee flavors. Bright on the sweetness to the point of almost becoming acrid. In fact, the finish is a lingering generic bitterness from the sweetness rolling off into the sunset. The opposite to a good western, the hero leaves the town without clearing it out of the offensive bad guy.

There isn't too much to discuss for flavors. Sweet to start bitter to end. Caramel and toffee. Low hop component, mostly tannic bitterness.

M- Full, thick, syrupy body. Carbonation stronger than I thought right in the beginning. Cascades from the edges inward and help settle the tremendous sweetness. The alcohol is there, causing a light puckering of the lips with burning sensation, however its smooth. It can't be too high, but enough to notice it. Less than 8%... Maybe a solid 7%?

I like it. I'm gonna call it a scotch ale. Maybe a bit too sweet, maybe a bit too thick. Maybe its a combination of things. Like most scotch ales it borders the line of being a full meal in a glass. However, the color is all wrong, there is no roast to it.. so.. Uh, I know I'm wrong on scotch ale. Not belgian strong ale because that would require some belgian yeast characteristic... I'm stuck!

Reveal is...wtf? Huh? Primator 21%, Flip those two numbers for 12! I like it. Now I get it! Euro Strong Lager! Derp derp derp! When I saw 21% on it I almost flipped my lid. There was NO way in hell it was 21%, but I guess it is just a name. The back reads 19.06.09 which I assume is bottle dating.
