Draught @ SOPP 2015, Helsinki
Pours dark brown with a smooth head. Aroma of roasty malts, berries, yeast and earthy notes. Taste is yeasty, stuffy and farmyardy with loads of rye bready notes. Finish is sweet, yeasty and earthy with some berries and syrup. Almost like a Sahti, but not quite.

330ml bottle @ SOPP 2015, Helsinki
Pours dark brown with no head. Aroma of roasty malts, berries, licorice, earthy notes and coffee beans. Taste is flat, sweet and malty with loads of berries, hints of roastiness and cold coffee. Finish is roasty and malty with some berries and flat coffee. No carbonation here, feels a bit weird.

Bottle at Õllesummer. Pours hazy red with beige head. The head stays for a second. Aroma is sweet, malt, citrus, tangerines. Flavor follows the nose. Overall: good one, it was my clear favorite of the new Pihtla brews (they were out of ginger beer, so didn’t have a chance to try that one). I had it again (batch 3), wasn’t as good as the one I tried at Õllesummer (maybe it was same batch, but only older? Fruity hops disappear quickly after all...). Rerate would be more like: 6:4:6:3:13=3.2

Bottle at Õllesummer. Pours dark brown-black with beige head. The head doesn’t stay. Aroma is sweet and roast. Flavor is sweet and bitter, roast, coffee, malt. Finish is roast bitter. Overall: decent, simple porter.6:3:7:3:13=3.2 Rerate, batch 3: More roast, more coffee, more dark choco. I like it a lot more than the previous sample (it’s also not as cold!). A big ratings bump!

Tap at Õllesummer. Pours dark brown with beige head. The small head stays for some time. Aroma is weak, berries, roast, sourness. Flavor is sweet, sour and some bitterness, roast, juniper berries, gooseberries and touch of spiciness. Overall: weird brew. It was served way too cold (hence flavor and aroma were very muted) and I didn’t have time to warm it up. Will rerate when I have a chance.
