Smell-medium strong, malt, caramel, cake, pleasant. Foam- thin, malt, yeast, alcohol and hops. Head is tiny creamy white, yellow, orange-brown light color. Appearance- generic silver bottle cap and bottle is as generic as it can be, I do love this beer symbolics, but I can't give extra here, sorry. Clear orange-brown amber color, no carbonation. From - snifter Taste - malt, sweetness, caramel, alcohol on the first sip. Then hops and bitterness creep up in the background. This does feel better than 2018 one so aging does good to this beer. but the aftertaste is still too hoppy and bitter for me. It does have plenty of sweetness in the foreground though. Fine, this does taste a lot better actually, but alcohol is also more visible.

Smell- medium strong, malt, roast, caramel, hops alcohol. Foam- semi-crazy foam, I did stop when it started going up. Generally thin, bitter, hops, some malt and alcohol. The head is large medium light brown white color but goes away fast. Appearance- brewer bottle cap and nice looking bottle design. I like both the design and the beer bottle cap design. Clear orange, brown amber color. From - snifter Taste - malt, caramel, hops, bitterness, roast. There are roast, bitterness and weak sweetness, alcohol. Too bitter for me, not for me.

0,33l bottle from Lauvas Alus, Riga. This bottle is Alkimikis Barley Wine, 9.5%. Dark amber beer pours hugely with quite stable light beige head. Aroma has sweet malts, caramel, nuts and some booze. Flavor has sweet malts, yeast, some weird vegetables. Dry, weird, not so good.
