Light to medium sweet flavour with notes of toasted malts, brown bread, toasted sugars, a little earthy-leafy note, grains. Light bodied with average carbonation. Finishes with notes of brown bread, toasted malts and grains, minimal bitterness. Drinkable.

Bottled (as Latgales Dunkel, from Alko Prisma, Vaasa). Deep reddish brown colour with a mediumsized foamy head. Aroma is syrupy sweetness, mild toast as well as some caramel. Flavour is a bit less sweet, but still quite syrupy with mild wooden and toasted notes.

500ml bottle, named Latgales Latgale, 5.5 % abv, kindly shared by djoeye. Small bubbles to a fawn-coloured head, fair lacing, deep ruby-brown body. Promising smell of roasted dark malty-fruit. Prunes and dark malty flavours. Roasted ending, mid-sweet. Likable. (Rating no 16800). (Pivoteka H7, Tromsø 22.07.2019).

Smell = medium strong,not too specific, maybe little roasted. Foam -almost no creaminess, a bit at end, low carbonation, if any, by taste quite sweet, little bitterness, almost no aftertaste. Taste in general - feels carbonated, too sweet, some alcohol flavor, but barely noticeable. I general I would say bit to sweet, don't really like it.

On tap at Beer House No. 1, pours a deep dark brown with a small beige head. Aroma brings out toasted nuts, some bready malt and light herbal, vegetal notes. Flavour is quite sweet, with toasted nuts, caramel malt, and bready notes. On the sweeter side, but it works well. Solid.

Bottle – probably bought in Rimi or Stockmann in Riga Had this one in the cellar for a while – the “best before” date is October last year ! But it doesn’t seem to have had any ill effects. Malt and treacle in the nose. Pours a very dark reddish brown with a tight off-white lingering head . Taste is surprisingly sweet for a Tumsais, cherries, toffee and molasses. Aftertaste is distinctly of coca-cola ! Soft carbonation and an overall light feel. Certainly one I’d drink again.

Latgales Dunkel, 5.6%, 0,5l bottle from Alko. Huge cloudy head, dark beer. Aroma has sweet malts, bread and caramel. Taste is also very sweet with malts and caramel. Works well with Christmas food.

50cl bottle from Alko. The beer pours dark brown color with a thick off white head. Mild nutty, really bready malty aroma. Hint of coffee, lots of bready malts in flavor, some toast. Chocolate finish. Quite nice dunkel.
