Reddish-dark brown with surprisingly nice head. Aromas of roasted malts and dark bread. Kind of a sweet taste. Not much of bitterness of hops in the finish.

50cl bottle in Tallinn. Pours clear dark amber with an off-white head. Quite mild malty aroma with fruity notes, caramel and chocolate. Hints of alcohol too. Sweet and warming without much bitterness. Nice flavour and quite decent.

Bottle at home, thanks to Simon for carting this one back from Estonia for me. Pours a very dark mahogony brown with a thin beige head that clears to the edge and leaves a thin film. Nose is dark fruits, toffee fudge, Mr Kipling Cherry Bakwells, almond, dark malt. Taste comprises malt, berries, dark fruit, brown sugar, almonds, plummy tones, light cocoa. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, dry finish.

25.01.13 Uts: mørk rødbrun, klar, rikelig beige skum, godt med kullsyre. Duft: mørk malt, milde brente toner og noe karamell, svak humle. Smak: lite fyldig og smaksrik, smaker mer som en bayer, ingen røstede toner i smaken, kort ettersmak. Kjedelig.

Kaatuu lasiin tumman colanvärisenä, keskikokoisella valkoisella vaahdolla. Haju on paahteinen, savuinen, makea, havuinen ja ruohoinen. Maku on hyvin lagermainen, lievää paahdetta ja savua on joukossa. Myös kukkaisuutta ja havuisuutta löytyy. Karamellisuutta löytyy selkeästi jo toisella kulauksella. Kaiken kaikkiaan mieto maku. Suutuntuma on yllättävänkin täyteläinen. Kokonaisuutena helposti juotava, mutta todella epäportermainen olut.

The beer in the glass is deep black and ruby in backlit. The head is large, creamy, off-white and durable. It smells malty-sweet, roasty, slightly sugary. Starts chocolaty malty, slight roastyand sugary-sweet with some caramel. The middle part is chocolaty sweet, subtle roasty, with dark fruity notes and some licorice. Goes into a caramel-malty, chocolaty finish with slightly roasted nuances!

a nutty roasted flavor with a fairly bitterness. dark brown in color with a white head.

0.5l Pleasurable strong caramel mead aroma.Beautiful dark copper appearance with fat foam. Taste remaind kvass with alcohol. Good overcoocked caramel be observed with little herbs and soy. Finish is too watery what i dont expected. Normal holidays beer.

0.5L bottle. 3-4 moths old. Malt: caramel, quite roasty. Earthy yeast. Dark brown pour, with thick foam that stays for about 40 sec. Clear. Medium bitter, faintly sweet. Mild baltic porter. To be honest, I remembered it having even more thicker, fuller body, and stronger malt and caramel aroma. It is still a good brew, and when I am tempted for a porter, there is a good chance that I will go for this one from the local “scene”. It is quite a good companion for any roasted meal.

Bottle. Slightly hazy dark amber color with a foamy head. Aroma of roasted malt and liqorice. Medium dry, roasty taste. Smooth texture.
