Flunssa päällä joten ei paljonkaan haista tai maista. Tiukkaa ja paksua tavaraa, nestemäistä mämmiä. Tarvii varmaan poiketa toiste paremmassa maistelukunnossa...

Viimeksi tätä ei saanut hanasta. Nyt oli ja pitihän tämä heti testata. Mustaa kuin yö. Tuoksu on paahteisen maltainen, hieman kahvinen ja mämminen. Ja maku. Uuh, ihan mieletön! Pehmeää nektaria. Ei tippaakaan katkeruutta tai läpi tunkevaa alkoholia. Maltainen ja mämminen. Vahva suositus!

Jopenbier time! Big hand to Wexi for sending me back the Gaja bottle with some other pivo Jopejskie I've yet to sample. PG4's jopenbier. The big bottle where this 100ml portion is from was opened couple weeks ago, but this style doesn't have lot of carbonation anyway, so I'm not too worried. Scent is bit spontan, apples, dates, leathery, malty, liqoury with dark bready syrupy kick. Taste has some spontan, dark hefty essence of heavy malts, cellarish smokiness, plenty of rye, sweet malty syrup, licorice. This is probably how a "normal" Jopejskie should taste like. Body is not very thick, probably due to bottle being open for a while. Still oily, sticky and viscous, albeit light. Tasting this beer now just postponed my urge to visit Gdansk. Saves me some money, but I definitely need to get my own bottle of it in future. Just to get a glimpse of that fullness Jopenbiers usually have, which is missing from here. Hence, a lower score.

A second visit to PG4 Jopejskie. 😍 Pours oily, pitch black. The carbonation is almost zero. I can't see any head or lacing on top. The scent is heavenly: I find massive syrup, bags of licorice and a tad licorice liqueur. I can also pick molasses and hefty cane sugar. The palate is thick and serves colossal syrup that is, however, not extremely sappy. Licorice and licorice liqueur linger massively on the sides of the tongue. Additionally, I find a smaller injections of molasses and brown sugar, followed by sweet fermented rye malt and a drop of honey. The identical aftertaste gives happiness to the tastebuds over medium duration. The mouthfeel is thick, somewhat sappy, extremely velvety and liqueur-like. It's also heavy, herbal, lip-glueing and relatively sticky. Epic! Pure black magic! 🖤🖤🖤 The rating remains the same. I'm buying a 700 ml bottle to take back home. 👍🏻

My first-ever authentic Jopenbier. Muddy, jet black beer with no carbonation and no head. This is interesting already now! The scent is massive: oversweet syrup, dark plum, bags of dates and a powerful herbal punch. I also find strong licorice and cough syrup. The tongue experiences a thick impression as never before. Elixir indeed! The gustatory components include colossal herbal licorice and licorice root, bowls of syrup and a bit of liquid dark chocolate. The body is thick and full. The beer finishes with loads of syrup, caramel, sweet licorice and multiple herbs. The aftertaste pleases the tastebuds for a significantly long time. The mouthfeel is substantially thick, really full and round. It's also truly lip-glueing, desserty, satiating and interestingly healthy. I guess... The mouthfeel is, furthermore, thicker than oily. The mouthfeel is herb-liqueur-like and slightly medicinal. Very very slow and enjoyable. Unique!
