1L Bottle - Hazy amber/brown in colour. Malty aroma with hints of dried fruit and marzipan. Fruity taste with raisins, malt and some slightly roasted notes. The finish is fruity and slightly sweet with some pleasant roasted hints. Very tasty and extremely easy to drink. I’m pleasantly surprised. If only this beer was easier to obtain....

Tapped into a 500ml take home bottle (Miestins, Riga)
6 Pleasant sweet roasty aroma, caramel, even some coffee.
3 Deep orange, brief head.
7 Full exciting retronasals - fruity and bitter. Great rich roast, some coffee again, lots of green sticky hops.
4 Soft palate, pleasant carbonation. Very full finish, lots of grains, lots of hops, lots of lots of stuff. Bitteress in particular lasts quite a while.
13 Very solid lager - lots of character - really quite interesting.
