(Bottle 50 cl) From German "Double Bocks" I’m used to the type being a strong, dark, malty lager. But this Estonian variety is only dark golden - at the most. But the alcohol is definitely there. On the other hand the head has gone missing - completely. Not that different from Danish Strong lagers as for instance "Elephant Beer". Sweetish and very potent without the strong alcohol making it exactly cloying. But not an exciting beer. 201003

(Bottle 50 cl) Golden, a little pale, limited head. Very light, almost no body and only a hint of hops. But LOADS of carbonation. Very ordinary. 270903

(Bottle 50 cl) Sort of a "historic" Baltic Porter put back into production i 1999. Dark reddish brown rather than porter-black, pretty light brown head. Dry and bitterish but not very fullbodied. Michael Jackson claims that this new version of the beer is more of a dark lager than a porter and I tend to agree. 250903

(Bottle 50 cl) Golden beer with a limited head. Quite malty and sweet. Just an ordinary lager, but quite pleasant as such. Sort of an younger brother to "Premium Extra" from the same brewery. 180903

(Bottle 50 cl) Oh dear, I hadn’t really noticed the alcohol percentage on this before I had my first sip. But even though this is strong indeed, it’s not completely unpleasant as other lagers of the same type. Fully golden, absolutely no head. Sweet and fullbodied. OK as such. 150903

(Bottle 50 cl) Beautiful golden beer with a pretty huge head. Mild with a very subdued bitterness, but on the other hand a pronounced malt-sweetness. A harmless lager. 190803

Canned. Yellow colour, small white bubbly head, which disappears quickly. Sweet hayish malty nose with slight hints of alcohol. Watery, sweet malty flavour. Sweetish aftertaste and oily palate. Thanks to Aija and Saku for giving me one of these .)

Bottled. Very dark red colour, mediumsized brown head. Roasted malt and a bit of vanilla in aroma. Wellbalanced beer with soft roasted malt in the flavour. Also hints of alcohol and barley can be found. Dry finish, and not much aftertaste.

Bottled. Pale yellow, mediumsized white head. Malty aroma, not much else. Sweetish malt in flavour. No aftertaste, but the beer leaves the mouth sticky. Water and a bit too much carbonation in my opinion.

This beer has almost no aroma. The appearance is ok, it has a nice nut-brown colour. The flavour has a touch of chokolate, but this is not a very good beer.
