BrewDog- Tokyo*


Tokyo*- Russian Imperial Stout (or 'intergalactic stout')- BrewDog
16,5% Imperial Stout with cranberry, jasmine, vanilia.
Today something special- not only mine review (described as M.) but also impressions from Lady J. She's not drinking too many beers, but we had some good stuff together. She's not into Imperial Stouts though. More like Imperial IPA's or sour beers. Or Samuel's Smith Organic Chocolate Stout (is there any woman that dont like this beer?)

Black beer, ruby reflexes, but even some tanned head on top (didnt expect that with 16% beer).

J: some jasmine in aroma, classic cocoa, chocolate, a little of acidy note like in kvass. Cant find the cranberries.

M: Jasmine for sure, hint of ash, lot of milk chocolate, vanilla, something like sweet cranberry. A little bit of booze.

Monyo- American Beauty, Invisible Bikini, Hop Harvest, Flying Rabbit

Ok, international stout day is over, time to try some hungarian beers again!

American Beauty- American Pale Ale- Monyo Brewing

APA at 5,6% abv, 13,3 plato, 32 IBU, hopped with Warrior, Mosaic, Chinook.
To be honest, I'm not a fan of Warrior hop, it gives a little harsh bitter, but lets see.

Nice aroma from the bottle. Very sweet, caramel and very sweet fruits, than sweet citrus.

Light yellow almost clear beer, a lot of carbonation moving up the glass. White head, pretty big, but with medium and big bobbles.

Aroma from the bottle was pretty good. Unfortunately this from glass... not so much. I'm getting a weird, unpleasant smell. Something like... cat fur. Or maybe it's a little bit of sulfur? Not sure, it's either sulfur or oxidation, in both case, it's not pleasant. Also, I'm picking a little bit of green citrus. Mosaic. And smell of wet grain.

Evil Twin Brewing- Soft DK

Yey, another review in english!
Well, I decided that polish craft will be reviewed in polish, but foreign I'll try to review in english. Because why the hell no?
It's and international stout day, and it's part 2 of it. 1st was polish "Gravedigger Blended BA" by Brokreacja, now it's time for Imperial Stout from my favourite foreign brewery.

Because I love many foreign beers and breweries, but the one that was always pretty nicely avaible, with brilliant stuff and was always outstanding for me is Evil Twin Brewing. Yep. Deifnitly.

So, today it's time for...

Soft DK- Imperial Stout- Evil Twin Brewing

The story on the label says that Jeppe Jarnit-Bjergsø came up with idea of this beer when he was changing his son's diaper. Mmmmm, yummy!

Monyo Brewing- Black Alligator

Ok, today second beer from Monyo Brewing, this time it's Black Alligator.
It's a Black Saison at 9% ABV, 17 Plato and 19,5IBU.

The first thing that worries me a little bit about this beer, is so much ABV from only 17 Plato. Ok, I know that saison yeasts are hungry mutherfuckers, but generally from what I know it's not technicly possible to get more alcohol than 1/2 of your starting Plato, unless some kind of freezing is involved. Altough in Poland you can have +/- 0,5% abv so if it applies also to Hungarian beers, it might have like 8,5%.

Nice label, as almost all of this from Monyo that I get.

Aroma from the bottle: very vineous, slightly smoky. A little bit of chocolate.

Monyo Brewing-Summer Syndrome

Today something that I've never done on my blog- review in english. It's because I dont give a fuck about my language mistakes, and I got 6 beers from Hungary. All of them- from Monyo Brewing. So, english reviews for my firends in Hungary, and let's start a week (maybe more than week, since there's international stout day on the way) with hungarian craft beers, more precisly- Monyo Brewing. Dont know much about brewery, I'll try to get some info soon. Altough, I'm lazy ass, so may be later than sooner.
I have to say one thing- all the labels are pretty nice, colourfull and you immediatly know it's a craft beer.
