3.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Pours hazy gold with white disappearing head. Aroma was just like toasted sesame seeds. Caramel/bread flavor. Sweet but not cloying. Little hop flavor. Alcohol is not strong. A strange but good beer. Still can"t get over the sesame seed aroma.

This #3.29 bottled brew marked lot L55640 from a bottle shop poured a large sized head of finely sized bubbles that were mostly diminishing and left behind a transparent typically carbonated orange colored body. The aroma was vinous and malt liquorish. The mouth feel was tingly at the start and at the finish with a mild vinous aftertaste. The flavor contained notes of strong vinous malt liquorishness. A decent one but not one that I would consider buying again. Definitely not a stout!

16.9 oz bottle-Pours a golden color with absolutley no carbonation. Aroma of corn and alcohol. Taste of grains, slight malt, and alcohol. Not a bad beer but not good either.
0.8 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 1/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 2/20
Traditional ale? Ain’t this just a Lithuanian malt liquor?! Pours a darkish gold with a thin foamy head. Aroma and flavor are both corny, grainy sweet and a touch fuselly. Heavy, thickish palate. Kinda gross, but fuller in palate and flavor than american malt liquors...I’m not sure that’s a good thing here.
2.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
UPDATED: NOV 3, 2007 Bottle from Frugal McDougal in Nashville for $2.69. Pours medium golden with a dissapating white head. Aroma of bready malts, hay, and european hops. Wow, this stuff is strong. Initial flavor of sweet malt that is quickly taken over by bitter grassy hops and alcohol. More alcohol and sweetness on the finish, which has a fizzy texture at the back of the throat. Nothing is harmoneous or pleasant. If you need a cheap buzz, this will do it.

Looks the same as <a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/rinkuškiai-uosto only with slightly more carbonation ("deep golden, mostly dead with a pouty white head that refuses to settle.") Smells mostly like <a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/rinkuškiai-uosto only there is a little more grassiness and the alcohol is not as obtrusive ("...a dusty grain silo of pale malts forms a simple base.") Flavor holds its own, however, with a nice malt-to-hop balance before a dry & alcoholic finish.

Bottle. Heavy alcohol content, 9.5 not masked well. Malty. I don’t know about other "extra stout beer" in Lithuania, but I’d be shocked if this really was "the best".
2.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
a heavy dose of alcohol without much pretense. malty aroma with sweet body.
