Brewed in the style of an old ale using only Polish malts and hops. Amber in color with a thick white head that leaves layers of lacing. Faint aromas of bitter hops. Intensely bitter and woody has a very sharp charred oak quality to it. Has notes of that old ale flavor but something is off about it almost a metallic taste to it. Very bitter aftertaste like anise, can't quite put my finger on it. Would not have again. On the bright side opens up and the flavors mellow and meld together as it warms up.
