Bottle. A strong malty smell, bitter chocolate, light sour, a little bit like wine. The beige head is large and foamy with a normal duration. The body is black. A strong taste of chocolate, some coffee. The body is strong, oily and creamy with a soft carbonation. A very good beer!

Bottle shared by Tmoney99. Pours a hazy brown color with a medium sized beige head. The aroma is sweet and malty with some chocolate and brown sugar and a hint of spice. The flavor opens sweet, favoring brown sugar and caramel. Mid palate though it becomes more woody with a mild to moderate tart quality. The finish is a bit strange with the hops trying to come through, but not blending well with the sweetness. Interesting.

Bottle 33cl Murky reddish with a tan creamy head, persistent with good lacing. Aroma to toasted malts, caramel, licorice, alcoholic, brown sugar. Taste is to dark fruits, with brown sugar; oily feel, medium body and average carbonation. Finish is long and dry but sweet and vinous.

33cl. Deep mahogany-chestnut with a billowing cloud of foam on top. Crisp earthy spices, molasses, medium toast, chocolate and a hint of citrus in the nose. Flavor starts the same delicious blend, then surprisingly turns to some smoke and iodine for a great finish. Wasn’t expecting the peat smoke, but it surely does a great job of balancing this otherwise sweet, medium-heavy bodied brew. What a great, unassuming beer.
3.4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Muddy brown with a large tan head. Aroma is of spicy yeast, burnt sugar, rye bread, and sour fruit. Flavor has notes of roasted malts, caramel, and candy sugar. Yeasty and dry finish. A little too sweet.
3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle from S.Brevinga Alus, Riga. Pours a dark brown colour with a fair, light tan head. Aroma of caramel and milk chocolate. Similar flavours with medium carbonation and a light CO2 prickle. A bit too fizzy for me. Some burnt toast linger and alcohol is fairly present given the abv. Just a little sweet, thin and a foamy mouth-feel. Just OK.
