Bottle at GBBF Dark mahogany. Not a lot of aroma some toffee/caramel but that does not make it too sweet. OK without really going anywhere.

(Bottle 50 cl) Beautiful, dark amber colour with a small off-white head. Some vague roasted notes and an unpleasant tang of cardboard. Actually cardboard seems to be the dominating flavour. No real pleasure. 150705

Canned. Mahogany colour, rich head. Very sweet and medium bodied and soft mouthfeel. Lightly roasty, but with very vague flavours and lightly salty finish. Very commercial, and much too sweet.

Can (BB 04/2006)
This beer’s only relation with Saaremaa is propably nice windmill picture in the label. This is brewed by A Le Coq in Tartu, often Olvi cans these in their Iisalmi factory (Finland).
Dark ruby color, decent tanned head, some lace. Roasted malty, woody, even yeasty-kind of aroma, hints of burnt sugar. Medium-bodied. Malty, a bit sweet and roasted. 6.5% warms nicely in the finish. Balanced, easy to drink and enjoyable dunkel.

Bottled (BB 11/2005)
This brand has made a comeback. Very pale yellow, a good creamy white head. Sweetish, rubbery, skunky hoppy nose - like in N/A beer. Thin, sweet malty, only hint of grassy hops in the finish. Useless.
