3.75/5  rDev +4.7%
A: Ruby brown, but hard to say as I'm drinking it from a mug.
S: Slight graininess.
T: Much better than I expected. A medium-dry fizzy lager, albeit a smooth one, with a rich malt character emanating fudge, caramel, liquourice and a touch of dried figs. Not metallic or grainy in any way.
O: Good. 2 out of 2 good beers from Mongolia so far. I want to give it higher than 3.75 but it's not quite a 4.

The Mongolian mystery beer has been poured! Thanks to my friend Dan for hauling this little beauty back from a recent trip to Mongolia. He had it stuffed in a shoe and it survived unscathed. Now if only I could find some information about this beer! I know its a dark beer and I know its "the Mongolian premium beer" but the label tells me those things. Everything else remains a mystery for now.

Pours a dark auburn color that is clean and clear when held to up to the light. Based on the carbonation and the color I will go with this being a dark lager. Its also my guess that Mongolia is a lager drinking country. The head is about a finger in thickness and very rich. Not a bad looking beer.

Smells of dark malt, some apple or dark fruit along with a sweet buttery-ness. There is also some caramel notes and dark bread.

Tastes very much like dark German wheat bread! There are also some hints of sweet fruit. The taste is very refreshing as its definitely beer you can drink nice and cold and there is little to no aftertaste. A pretty basic dark lager but extremely easy to drink. Its the best Mongolian beer I've ever had!

Note: XAP XOPYM (on the label) is Mongolian for "Empire Karakoram".
