I hated this one. It’s like a slightly refined steel reserve. Malt liqour fans will love this beer. Stout means strong in some countries so don’t expect a black colored beer.

Aug 8, 2008 .5L bottle served in a shaker glass. Hazy yellow pour topped by minimal head. Smells of apples, dough, and caramel. Firm malt presence with a hint of bitterness. Has some honey character. Much better than I expected.

Jun 15, 2008 Bottle thanks to Mike. Pours a clear and light amber with a thick, but quickly deflating white head. The aroma is full of sweet malts and bready notes. The taste was actually quite nice; a quite sweet bready, and strong malt presence, along with some pear and alcohol aspects. Very smooth and a somewhat bitter/skunk finish.

Jun 11, 2008 hazy dark golden color with a small creamy yellow head. no lacing. very sweet honey, cereal, dry dog food aroma. flavor is extremely sweet with honey and cereal grains. medium-full bodied. touches of sweet tarts or something....cant quite figure it out. hints of lemon, caramel apples, green popsicles, and cola. weird stuff.

does not count  Apr 28, 2008 The label says "stout"; obviously it is not. It seems to be a mistranslation for "strong". And Strong it is! My bottle claimed 9% rather than 9.5%, so maybe I got an old bottle... but 9% is still a healthy wallop. Žaibo pours brownish-gold and cloudy, an appearance I found murky and unappetizing. Let me put it this way: if this stuff came out looking the same as it went in, I’d call a doctor. But the beer was a bit more pleasant to drink than to look at. The alcohol isn’t quite as overpowering as I thought it would be; and while it’s very sweet and yeasty, with a syrupy mouthfeel, it’s not quite as cloying as Uosto, which was the last Rinkuškiai beer I’d had.
