Another re-review, based upon my many more years of beer tasting (drinking) ; )

Cool tree. I used to drink this often when I was younger.

Used to really like this in the past, then changed my mind...anyway after a while and more experience, I am reviewing again!

Looks great. Like a Belgian beer almost. Aroma unfortunately is pure mocne.

This has amazing hops. Far better than Tatra and Warka mocnes...this is has the correct balance of hops to balance out the syrupy horrible Polish mocne malt flavour.

Probably the best Polish mocne beer. And has existed since 1629 apparently. Good amount of head, just the right amount of carbonation, which created a good mouth feel.

Flavour is kind of unique actually...definitely best ice cold. Many European stronger beers (aside from Belgian ones) are lower quality and marketed for homeless people and alcoholics and myself. This however has a complex maltiness and bitterness balance. Anyway, it still has a subtle czech style hops happening, but it is slightly too subtle. Still, it's a very unique and interesting beer, and it's stronger than all the silly pilsners everywhere, which all taste the same.

Much better than the Warka one.

I bought a can of this beer whilst sightseeing in Warsaw. It poured a clear copper with thin white head that disappeared over time and did not leave any lace. The scent had grain notes. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with grain presence. The mouthfeel was lighter in body with good carbonation. Overall it is a good beer.

16oz can. Poured out a clear, golden amber color with a small, off-white head of bubbly foam. It left minimal lacing on the glass. It smelled of corn, grain alcohol and caramel. Sweet caramel, corn and bready taste. Some boozy heat. Minimal bitterness.

This is easily my favourite beer. This is not too sweet, not too bitter and easy to drink even though its 7%.

It seems to me that negative reviews of this beer are by people who like overly bitter beer. Sure a super hopped beer will be tasty and extremely bitter, please if you like that sort of thing give the beer you like a glowing review. This is not a bitter beer, this isn't overly sweet either like almost all the mainstream beers out there. Its perfect just as it is and deserves to be respected for what it is, not what it isn't.

This is a truly great beer that does its own thing, and caters to the Goldilocks zone beer drinkers out there. Seeing the first review that comes up on a google search saying 'worst beer ever' is such a shame and totally undeserved.

I'll say it again, a great beer and I created this account just to leave this review.

Pours clear, light caramel in color with one third inch head. Taste is caramel and dark bread. Medium heavy bodied, moderate carbonation and sweet. Good for the style. Big malt bomb. Could have a couple.

A 500ml can with a BB of Sept 2014, so it's rather out of date. Picked up a while back from a B&M store. I'm guessing this is the Polish version of Special Brew....

A: Poured into a straight pint glass. A bright, clear amber colour with slight floating sediment and good carbonation. Produces a large head of creamy white foam that lasts for a few minutes before reducing to a patchy surface layer. Some lacing.

S: Aroma of mildly sweet malt with hints of barley sugar, subtle caramel, faint grain, stewed leaves, a touch of yeast esters and a whiff of booze/solvent in the background. Not too bad for what it is.

T: Tastes of sweet malt with a mild finish. Notes of barley sugar, subtle caramel, husky grain, stewed leaves, faint yeast esters and a touch of harsh cardboard in the background. Slightly sweet, followed by boozy overtones and a subdued leafiness upon swallowing.

M: Mouthfeel is smooth and tingly, with pleasant carbonation and good body for the style. Slightly astringent, accompanied by an aftertaste of barley malt, mildly acrid cardboard and faint stewed leaves.

O: So-so; OK for a mass-produced lager but not exactly a classic. Looks alright, while the aroma and flavour are sweet, malty and mild. Par for the course character-wise. Decent body. Goes down without complaint but pretty forgettable. No need to seek it out.
