Clear copper with medium beige head. Lacing. Aroma.. malt, bit caramel, bread, poor hops, weird off honey Sweetish with light bitter finish. Watery Not a disaster, but this was second and last time I try this

On tap, beer fest lv. Aroma weak, dry stout comes to me, thick not long lasting aroma. Not much every thing, short aftertaste.

Medium beige lasting head. Hazy brown-amber body. Creamy earthy caramelly with mealy notes. Dry-sweet caramelly sugary taste with earthy notes. Mid-bodied. Mild, soft mouthfeel. Dryish caramelly grainy sugary aftertaste with mealy notes. Nice, but a bit flat and boring. (0.3l draft at S. Brevinga, Riga.)

330ml, tap@S.Brevinga, Tirgonu iela 4, Riga. Light mahogany body, with offwhite creamy head and fair lacing. Dark fruit and malt, dark fruits and roasted. Served too cold and I also think it was too carbonated. (Shared with Stefan 18.Dec.2012)

500ml bottle (?, Tallin) - gift from Marduk - thanks!
Orangy read, brief fizzy head. Slightly herbal aroma, maybe a little cactussy. Simple bready body, slightly caramelly, not so big, just a touch of the less sweet side of barley grains (but not husky at all). Slightly watery palate, refreshing carbonation. Easy drinker. Finish a little bit roastier than the taste, and with a soft herbal hoppy bitterness. Late finish is a little fatty, and with more tangy bitterness, does seem like wild local hops rather than imported czech/german typical ones. A touch dead, despite it being unpasteurised and therefore live. Interesting, and a little quirky, but a pretty passable darkish amber lager, shame about it being a bit dead.

500ml bottle. Watery copper color. Small off-white head appears. Thistle, caramel, insect poison in aroma. Watery, faint caramel in flavor. Very bland, watery and slick. Not sure what it is. Centipede poison in afterburps. As it warms up some roasted notes in flavor.
