Bottled 500ml (BB 03/2012)
Thanks to my little bro for buying this from Cesis. Clear deep ruby color, mostly vanishing small beige head. Light aroma has some cardboard and toasted notes. Light to medium-bodied. Caramelly, lots of licorice candy, medicinal flavor. Watery finish. Not too bad.

ChrisOs Early December Tasting. Clear dark brown beer, fluffy tan head. Light palate, a little soft and a little dry. Super sweet dark malt. A little red fruit underneath. Semi dry finish. Too sweet even for me!

Clear medium to dark amber colour with a small to average, frothy, good lacing, mostly diminishing, off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty, bread, toasted, caramel, sweet dark malt. Flavour is moderate to heavy sweet and light bitter with a average duration, burnt brown sugar. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. [20111203]

Bottled@my birthdaybash@Chriso. Deep reddish amber colour, small brown head. Aroma is fruity, wooden, mild toasted notes as well as some slight berryish notes. Flavour is caramel, berries, wood and some floral notes. Surprisingly good.

trochę lepsze niż Zelta Ruby ale i tak niedobre; fajny kolor i pianka, ale smak sztucznie słodki mało piwny dobre na kilka łykow potem zostawia posmak jakiś mdły posmak

Bottled at oh6gdx’s birthday bash at chriso’s. Dark brown, small head. Sugary nose. Sweet with light body, lean hard mouthfeel and sticky, sugary sweetness. Flavourd of burnt sugar and boiled vegetables. Unrefined sugary industrial lager.

Bottle at Pat’s birthday chriso tasting, London. Pours clear, red-brown with a medium, beige head. Sweet, dark chocolate malt nose. Very sweet flavor, plenty of dark malts, candy, cheap chocolate, caramel. Medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Sweet finish with some sticky sugars, dark malts, and caramel. Alright for what it is; the Latvian dunkels get no love.

Bottle at Pat’s birthday tasting at Chriso’s. Clear reddish brown, white head. Nose is sweet roasted malt, hay, grassy, wet cut grass. Taste is fruity, malty and grassy. Interesting and quite strong flavours. Light body.

Bottle at Chriso Patriks Bday tasting. Very dark brown lasting beige head. Sweetish malt. Not much hop. Ok condition. Ok caramel. Fine if sweet

Sweet malt aroma with hints of brown sugar, licorice and molasses. Watery and sweet taste of syrup and malt. Why do you do this kind of beer? This is really awful!
