BEER TASTING NOTES: KISZ BIER
KISZ BIER
Appearance: deep dark red garnet liquid, the head is a dense, light brown foam of small bubbles irregular bubbles.
Aroma: The aroma is sweet caramel malt with a slight dusty sensation with very little hops. The moment between those lip and sip reveals more of the malt character and a slight hop sensation.Mouth Feel: a medium bodied beer, it seems to be rather late in carbonation for bottled beer. However, it was poured at below 40° Fahrenheit.
Flavor: The malt flavors are of candy and roasted grain. Carbonation has no effect on the flavor and the hops can be detected only at the very end.Finish: there is nothing wrong with the finish to this beer. It is clean, balanced and doesn't stay around very long.
Comments: What I taste when I taste this beer is not quite a black beer and not quite a porter. It also lacks the hops that would make it a American-style traditional amber beer.The label on this bottle says that it is a "classic check dark.". It goes on to tell me that this is a quality product of the Czech Republic , the birthplace of lager beer. On the front label it tells me that it contains 11.2 fluid ounces and on the back label at the bottom right corner, there is a symbol; it seems to tell me it is kosher. Other than that I can not tell you much about the origins of this beer.
Cheers!
