Flip top 500ml (BB 141123)
Thanks to Ago for birthday present! From Riga via Tallinn to Pori. Dark nut brown colour, small steady beige head. Aroma has caramel and lurking tartness. Medium-bodied. Flavour is fortunately less tart but still somewhat going to tartness. Malts, toffee, backing alcohol. When fresh, probably quite ok.

500ml swing top bottle @Petergailis, Riga Deep dark crimson body, with small head that leaves patchwork on top. Roasted sweet malts, caramel, dark dried fruits: plum, prunes, dates, and some spices. A bit farmyard finish and a bit heavy. Great start to my Christmas holiday!

(Keg at Brooklyn Pub, Riga, 20220705) The beer poured dark brown and cloudy. Its head was medium sized and lightly brown. Aroma had caramel, chocolate, toasted malts and butter. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were grass, toasted malts, caramel, toffee, chocolate and bitterness. Aftertaste was malty and mildly bitter. A decent malty brew with sweet notes.

On tap at Brooklyn Pub & Whiskey Room, pours a deep dark brown with a tiny beige head. Aroma brings out molasses, light treacle and English caramel malt. Flavour is along the same lines, with molasses, English caramel bready malt, and toffee. Sweet, but not cloying, with a nice treacly finish. Nice stuff.
