330ml can, thanks to Stefan and Elisabeth for sharing. Off-white head over a deep, brown coloured body. Sweet malty aroma with hints of dark fruits. Slightly roasted, sweet dark malts in flavour added by a touch of prunes and a bite of herbs. Rounded bittersweet ending. Just alright (Tromsø, 27.10.2009).

500ml bottle shared at a rating session devoted to 10 beers from Estonia. Soapy, off-white head, mostly collapsing. Dark amber coloured body. Lighter aroma of sweet malts with underlying herbs. Taste of dark honey layered malts, slightly roasted. Some herbal support. Dry on the swallow. A bit metallic impression, Gets rather too sweet (thanks to Elisabeth and Stefan for the bottle, Tromsø 27.10.2009)

Thanks to Elisabeth and Stefan for sharing a 500ml bottle, airborne from Tallinn. Pours a dense and soapy, beige foam. Fragile lacework on the glassware. Copper-brown body. Just a weak smell of nutty malts. Discreet flavour of butter-like caramel added by honey sweetness. Dry in the mouth. Medium bodied (at a rating session in Tromsø, 27.10.2009).

330ml can at Baltic Beer Session in Tromsø 27.Oct.09. Pours a light golden body. Pineapple and sweet malt aroma, which is also reflected in the flavour, but there is also a hint of lime. A bit thin and short duration, but an okay alternative to quench one’s thirst.

330ml can kindly provided by Stefan and Elisabeth for a rating session of beers from Estonia. Clear golden body, no head. Rounded smell of pale malts mixed with fresh fruity hints. Sweet corn in flavour with notes of lemony hops. Rather thin in the mouth. Clean tasting and easy drinking (Tromsø, 27.10.2009).

Bottle. The color is black, but not pitch black. The foam is quite large and fluffy, a bit dirty. Fairly faint aroma with chocolate, nuts and roasted malt. A little bit weak flavor, some caramel, chocolate and roasted malt. Unfortunately, the end feels pretty thin and watery, not much aftertaste.

(Canned, thanks to SaintMatty) Dark brown colour with frothy beige head. Malty nose with dark bread, wort, caramel and a touch of raisins. Slightly roasted. Malty taste with notes of dark bread, caramel, toasted grain, brown sugar and a touch of dried fruit in the finish. Medium body, soft mouthfeel. Rather sweet with low bitterness, short finish. Nothing exceptional, but a fairly tasty and decent dark lager.

Medium offwhite coarseish lasting head with excellent cling. Pretty brown body. Papery vegetable aroma with faint fruity notes. Sweet-dryish roasty caramelly papery taste with chalky vegetable notes. Harshish mouthfeel. Hollow-bodied. Unclean, unfresh palate. Dryish papery caramel aftertaste with toffee notes and toasted rice. Weird beer. Has good and bad parts, and is really all over the place. Ɛ.5l bottle from some alkohoolipod, Tallinn.)
