(0,5 liter bottle.) Whooa... an Estonian Christmas porter, available in Norway, even! I haven''t sampled their ordinary porter (yet), this one is 1% stronger and probably more spicy, to obtain a "real" Christmas character. Dark brown colour, low head, lightly roasted spicy coffee aroma and flavour, decent bitterness in the aftertaste. Lots of delicious flavour and sufficient alcohol here, still a bit thin mouthfeel (probably because it''s bottom fermented) - which, however, will not stop me from buying this goody again. I had it on its own, must also be a great accompaniment with Nordic Christmas fare in the rougher end of the scale. All in all a Christmas beer to be recommended.

Classic Soviet-style sweet & flat lager, adjuncty, an interesting relic.

Yellow coloured. Creamy head. Sweet, and soft with low bitterness and apple aroma. Rather drinkable, but not very pleasant.

Yellow coloured. Soft. Malty and sweet. Low bitterness. One dimensional. By far too little body to balance the alcohol.

Grainy, cidery, some cheap malt flavours. Lacking in substance and balance. This beer replaced the much better strong pale lager Seitse Munka in the roster, which is too bad.
