KSIAZECE CIEMNE LAGODNE

Style: Dark beer
Brewed: Tyskie Brewery (SAB Miller), Poland
Tested: Bottle, July 2016

Does it always need to be a craft beer? Of course…not! This may sound strange from my mouth (or keyboard), but the truth is that sometimes I am tired of a craft beer (especially in its experimental modus). Just an example from today – we have tested 7 beers and 3 of them were not our case. I tend to more and more think that its sometimes worth to take something you know than to try. It is even more important, because it is still possible that you will end up visiting family that only drinks regular beer…

You want simple, light black beer. Malty, but not hoppy, some taste of chocolate. Really easy in drinking?

Go for Ksiazece Ciemne Lagodne – seriously, you can’t do anything wrong! It is not craft, it’s not stout, but it is simple and tastes OK.

Kozel

Style: dark beer
Tested: Bottle, 2015
Brewed: Velke Popovice Brewery, Czech Republic

Honestly, I was pretty disappointed with the Kozel. On one hand it has nice dark color and attractive foam. On the other hand it lack any taste that can be connected with a beer. Closest comparison would be  - it tastes like drinking paper. If you are a paper freak - this one is for you - the rest - stay away.
