Bottled as "Kimmel Rigas Tumsais" (BB 02/2007). Dark rubycolor, good tan head. Sweet caramelly aroma of fudge. Medium-bodied. Creamy mouthfeel. Caramelly with malty finish. Sort of "the brewery is not the most modern" -feeling here - some flavors are unclean.

Bottled. Ruby red colour, small beige head. Aroma at first quite caramnellish and malty. Flavour at this point was caramellish malty too. Once it gets a bit warmer both flavour and aroma starts to live. Flavour gets a bit sweetness, fruitishness and plums in it. Flavour gets Sweet malts, caramel, a weak sting of alcohol and some hoppyness in it. So, I would say, good session beer both warm and cold. Oh well, it seems like a beer which is kind of divided, hate it or love it... I’ll compromise and like it.

What did I do to Darkover to deserve this? Well, now I can check Latvia off the list of countries I need to visit to try a beer. This was a poor excuse for a Vienna. The color was pretty and the head and lacing were okay, but the flavor was sour and acidic. I have a Romulan Ale with Darkover''s name on it...

Dark amber. Fruity aroma, plus the obligatory Kimmel cellar aroma. Medium bodied, earthy flavour, more cellar, and a finish with low bitterness.
