look: 2.5 | smell: 3 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3 | overall: 3.5

500 ml can, bought in a polish shop, in Arnhem. This is different than the Warka Strong. Poured itno my Guinness pint glass. ABV 6.5 %.

Deep orange copper colour, with two fingers of white, froathy head that disappears quickly. No lacing of course and also no activity in the glass.
Smell is not bad, some malts and a bit of alcohol, although it's only 6.5%.
Huh? Weird taste, but not in a bad way. Lightly roasted malts and a faint hazelnut chocolate/coffee flavour. I haven't tasted a strong euro lager like that before. In any case not the malty, stale bread taste I am used to getting from the style.
Medim thin body and average carbonation. Fairly dry and numb feeling on the palate.
Overall, I was expecting a much stronger beer when I saw the label (I didn't check at the shop) with the usual malty, old bread flavour, plus an alcohol sting but this turned out to be quite good. If I ever go back for more beer at that shop, it will be for this one.
