Ungstrup (23917) - Oamaru, NEW ZEALAND - OCT 25, 2005
A deep red beer with a light brown head. The aroma is sweet with notes of straw, while the flavor is sweet malty with a slight roastiness, leading to a dry end. But the body is thin.

Sully (1378) - Potts Point, New South Wales, AUSTRALIA - AUG 6, 2003
It pours really well with a good chocolate colour and a creamy head. It did finish poorly however but given the circumstances of being held over at the airport in Riga and getting this for free it was not as bad as it could have been.
