On tap at Olde Hansa, served in a clay / stoneware jug, so I can't comment on the appearance. Way too much anise and liquorice in both aroma and flavour, also other spices and herbs, including caraway, and quite sweet, but still drinkable. Worth a go.

Õlle on selline jook, et iga uus kord kui klaasi või pudeli suule tõstad, siis leiad midagi uut, sõltuvalt tuhandest-miljonist pisiasjast, mis hetke olukorda mõjutavad. Seega piirdun iga õlle juures selle tekstiga.

Smell of licorice root, spices (thyme?). Bronze colour, light brown head. Aroma of licorice root, vanilla, some oaky notes, cough mixture. Sweet. Lively carbon. Too sweet and candy-like, but otherwise fine.

33cl bottle from Sip, Tallinn. Pours dark mahogany with a modest, beige to off-white head. Surprisingly herbal aroma, almost like a herbal liquer - mild licorice and one of the most dominant aromas reminds me at least of wormwood, but not sure if it is. A bit too much almost, but fairly enjoyable.

Bottle (thanks marduk). Pours dark brown with beige head. Aroma is spices and herbs. Flavor is sweet and bitter, herbs, spices, malt. Overall: not my thing, but not awful. --- Beer merged from original tick of The Crafty Monk's Ürdiõlu on 09 Nov 2017 at 13:12
