Sweet caramel and menthol like herbal aroma. Also some butter, but not disturbing. Small head, fully disappearing. Dark ruby colour. Taste is mostly caramel sweetness and herbs.

UPDATED: APR 27, 2013 Clean amber color, small white head. Aroma of caramel malts and spices. Taste is sweet with caramel, honey and spices like cardamom and cloves. Medium body and soft carbonation. Interesting but not my style.

0.33L bottle. Herbs and caramel aroma. Taste is like submarine coctail :) Jaggermeister and caramel drink.

Flaska (Bambalyne, Vilnius). Samma smörkolaaromer som finns i stort sett alla litauiska öl doftar det även här ifrån. Dessutom knäck, hallon och svagt av citrus. Örtighet i smaken, men också fruktighet. Där hittas en fräsch, om än svag, syrlighet. Pepprighet i eftersmaken.

0,33L bottle. Aroma of honey with some herbal tones. Vegetables, spices in flavor, little bit hops and caramel malts also. Refreshing.

Piwo dość specyficzne, z dodatkami różnych przypraw oraz kilku odmian chmieli. Gożkie piwo i lekko kwaskowate, pikantne i ciemnawe, o kolorze herbaty. Polecane do dań mało doprawionych.

330ml bottle. Mahogany color. Caramel, faint peppermint, anise, cinnamon in aroma. Toffee, sweet, burnt sugar, anise, slight roast in flavor. Flat texture. Way too sweet. Quite notable anise in aftertaste.

NIce, probably the best from small bottles of this brewery, nice spicy and herb aroma and creamy feautres.

330ml bottle (Bambalyne, Vilnius)
Super sweet super-ripe bananaey spicy, minty and clovey, sweet aroma. Like a banana caramel desert with a splash of underberg over it. Super smooth palate, soft carbonation, really lush in the mouth. Retronasals full of overripe banana. That level of ripeness normaly makes me gag, but this is lovely. Rich redy brown, small tight beige head. Lovely mellow sweet palate, spices prominant, but not dominating, a sweet dark roast backs them up , some caramel too. Finish has a lovely gentle tingle of bitter hops, which are a little papery, but quite whole. Super drinkable - asks to be sessioned.

Bottled 330ml (Maxima, Vilnius, BB 11/2011)
Dark nut brown-ruby color, quicky vanishing off-white head. Aroma of sweet bun, caramel and berries. Medium-bodied, but thin palate. Clove spicey flavor, caramelly too with unclean diacetylic notes. Not very good spicey beer.
