Re-rated based on checklist Old score: 8/5/7/4/16=4.0 Originally in 2018 I had it with wax seal, this one is without. Smell - medium strong, roast, cofee, smoke, malt. Bit of caramel. Later more chocolate. Foam - thin to medium, roast, weak to medium malt some bitter and alcohol notes. Bit of coffee somewhere. Small dark brown head. some weak jack daniels feel (duh), tiny, dark brown chocolate head. Appearance - brewer bottle cap, simple bottle with barrels on it, not unappealing but not good enough to get bonuses. Very dark brown, cant see through, but there are some few carbonation bubbles. From - Stout glass Taste - malt, weak bitter notes, roast, alcohol, coffee and dark chocolate. Aftertaste is roasted malt. Does not seems as good as in previous rating, still drinkable brew, quite strong and may go well with something. I do feel faint JD notes, but I dont really like JD. Will not give it a pass as it is Latvian beer, sorry. I does get better later, but I will nor rise score.
