Stu Mostów WILD No.12 Bière de Soif Peach Cherry Blend 2021

Leave a comment

Brewery: Browar Stu Mostów
Country: Poland
ABV: 6%
Style: Wild Ale
Other Notes: Hops – Hersbrucker. 5 IBUs

Brewer Description: (from website) In the bottles of the latest beer from the WILD series we have sealed a blend of our barrel aged Saison and super aromatic “Inka” peaches from Owocowe Zacisze farm and local “Łutówka” cherries from Ireneusz Rudnicki Farm. They were delivered to us personally by the farmers and processed by hand the same day. The beer owes to them not only a wonderful aroma but also a beautiful “rose” color with a small but long-lasting white head. Ends with a truly wild & funky aftertaste.

Intro: A 375ml clear bottle, with a best before date of 8th April 2024. Poured into a Tilquin stemmed glass.
Appearance: A careful pour to keep the yeast in the bottle led to a hazy rosé pink colour with a one finger white head that dissipated fairly quickly, while leaving only sparse to no lacing.
Aroma: Fruity, lightly tart, rhubarb, peach, cherry pits, with a splash of sherry vinegar.
Taste: Lightly sour and tart, peach, cherry pits, cherry skin, with some funky notes.
Mouthfeel: Light to medium bodied with moderate to soft carbonation.
Overall: Enjoyable aromas and flavours. Cherry was a little muted, and was expecting and hoping for higher carbonation, but generally it was good.

Stu Mostów WRCLW Baltic Porter Salted Caramel Nitro

Leave a comment

Brewery: Browar Stu Mostów
Country: Poland
ABV: 9.1%
Style: Porter – Baltic
Other Notes: 40 IBUs

Brewer Description: (from website) The intense, malty aroma of the Baltic Porter extractive base is enhanced by the addition of caramelised sugar in the form of roasted caramel and non-iodised rock salt. In this way, we have created an exceptionally delicious and aromatic combination, which is bound into a dessert-like whole by the velvety texture obtained through nitrogen saturation!

Intro: A 330ml bottle, with a best before date of 23rd December 2023. Poured into a snifter glass.
Appearance: Dark dark brown to black in colour with a thin tanned head that dissipated quickly, but left some nice lacing.
Aroma: Roasted malt, chocolate, sponge cake, caramel, brown sugar, honey.
Taste: Sweet, sweet malt, chocolate, caramel, brown sugar, vanilla, cream.
Mouthfeel: Smooth, medium to full bodied, with soft carbonation.
Overall: Very nice aroma, but for the taste, with ‘salted caramel’ in the name, I get no salt at all, which was unfortunate, as it would have helped balanced out the sweetness, that I felt was a little strong.

Intro: A 330ml bottle, with a best before date of 29th March 2024. Poured into a snifter glass.
Appearance: Dark dark brown to black in colour with a thin tanned head, that had pretty good retention while leaving some sparse spotty lacing.

Taste: Sweet malt, light roast, dark chocolate, almonds, caramel, dark fruit, plum, prunes, with a lasting nutty finish.

Overall: An enjoyable sipper. It’s sweet, but I think that there’s just enough bitterness from the dark chocolate, roasted almonds, and hops, to balance out that sweetness.
