Kauno Biržiečių Alus Stouts

A bottle of Biržiečių Alus Stouts from Kauno Alus in Kaunas, Lithuania, at Bambalyne in Vilnius.

 

Kauno Birzieciu Alus Stouts is a 7.5% abv doppelbock-type of beer. It poured a slightly hazy deep reddish brown with a large beige head. It smelled of caramel with some toasted malts underneath. Mouthfeel was medium heavy with a velvety smooth texture. The taste was also sweet, but more elegant than cloying with ripe fruits and hints of nuts. It finished with a long aftertaste of ripe fruits. A tasty and well made doppelbock.

 

The phrase "Tamsus ir tirštas" on the label means "dark and dense" in Lithuanian.
