Cracked open this Knob Creek 10 Year SiB to compare it to Rare Character’s new Black Maple Hill revival, which tasted quite Knob Creeky to me. (More on that tomorrow.) But this bottle sure does stand on its own. Oak, baking spices, chocolate, cherry. Boom. Cheers! Poland Bar Hop Pt8: Eszeweria. The back entrance is simply labelled with “BAR” spray painted. The front (📸2) looks like the entrance to a derelict subway. Inside is a cozy collection of retro furniture, lamps, and old photos. Out back is a leafy beer garden. Packed at night and quiet by day, it’s a great place to socialize, relax, or get a bit of reading done. Easily our favorite stop on this Poland bar hop, and a great place to toast the end of our visit. Thank you Poland. Na zdrowie! Poland Bar Hop Pt7: Absynt has such a comfortably homey vibe about it for a bar centered on the most famously fiery spirit. And indeed their Absynth Sour cocktail was refreshingly welcoming. My partner stuck to wine. Na zdrowie!
