BOTTLE at Porgu. Smells slightly malty and hoppy - a but if citrus and more spruce tips and pine, maybe a but of mint and rotten fruit. Taste: juicy caramel malts, strong piney bitterness with a little bit of alcohol hardness in the finish. Smooth body. Good and untraditional.

33cl bottle from Pothouse, Tallinn. Pours close to pitch black with a fairly dense, beige head. Hmmm, smells like raspberries!? Aroma reminds me of some kind of dark chocolate with raspberries. Surprisingly fruity, and not so much of the roasted notes. Moderate sweet with a fairly noticable acidity and mostly red berries and chocolate in the flavour. Carbonation is slightly on the fizzy side, but not too annoying. Definitely different from what I expected, and maybe not quite as intended, but fairly tasty in the end anyway.

33cl bottle from Pothouse, Tallinn. Pours close to clear amber with a huge, off-white head. Nice ginger smell when I open the bottle. Aroma is certainly dominated by ginger, with notes of citrus and hints of malt. Moderate sweet with nice ginger flavour, well balanced, tasty and enjoyable. Nice one!

33cl bottle from Pothouse, Tallinn. Pours close to clear amber with a huge, off-white head. Malty and caramally aroma with bready notes, hints of fruits and roasted malt. Medium sweet with somewhat mild flavours and a fair bitterness. Fairly tasty brew, but a bit to fizzy for my taste.

Massive foam, almost no beer visible at first, but foam comes down, slowly, and some red-amber liquid becomes visible. Aroma is full of malt and breadiness, bit of something plasticky and soapy. Slightly sweetish, more like sweetness of some rowan berries that have been frostbitten and lost their bitter. Taste is not that sweet, strong malty body, a lot of hops but they are not blending in with other flavours at all, making this brew feel messy and without clear direction. Aftertaste is dry and succumbs into long bitter linger. Drinkable but simple, also messy and definitely not worth it’s price tag (4 EUR).

33cl bottle from Õlleköök, Viimsi. Pours slightly hazy with a lasting, white head. Fruity aroma - tropical fruits, caramel and malt. Medium sweet, fairly mild flavours, but pleasant. Nice bitterness and high drinkability. --- Beer merged from original tick of Kolm Venda IPA on 18 Feb 2016 at 22:47 - Score: 6
