500ml Bottle (Shared by FatPhil - Thanks) - Dark brown with red tinges. Malty and fruity aroma with a hint of blackcurrant and dried fruit. Malty taste with more notes of blackcurrant. It’s just like a dull beer with some caramel to make it a bit different.

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.

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

Leighton (4087) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - DEC 4, 2011
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.

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!
