150ml, sample tray at Valmiermuiža Alus Tirgotava. Deep rustic-brown body appearance, off-white head, spotty lacing. Roasted dark bread on the nose, inviting. Bread like malts to the taste profile joined by a touch of mid-sweet caramel. Mid-sweet malty finish. Just alright. (Riga, 09.11.2025).

From tap at Alus Muiža, Rīga. Rather sweet with lots of caramel malt, butterscotch, some nutty notes. Light bitterness. Bit too buttery but has a rustic character. Too sweet, interesting to try...
