Bottled. Pale yellow with on head. Sweet and thin. Thankfully they've filtered out most of the normal Aldaris flavour, and only left some metal.

Bottled. Pale golden. Despite being only 4.7% the alcohol is evident in the aroma. Sweet and unclean with obvious notes of vegetables and unfermented wort. Low bitterness. Typical BBH beer...

Dark brown with some red. The head is large and tan but thin. Aroma of alcohol. Taste of raisins, scotch, and very sweet malt. Slight smoked flavor. Unexpected taste of wheat in the sweet finish.

(500 ml bottle). Dark ruby colour. Good light tan head. Interesting vinous aroma of raisins, blackberries, ensilage, seaweed and some coffee. Full, rich and smooth flavour - but unfortunately too sweet. Like a good cup of coffee with too much sugar. Syrup battles with a nice roastiness in the aftertaste. Still, an interesting Latvian aquaintance - well worth sampling.

Straw colour; fruity aroma - some plastic, too. A little malt, herbal hops, apple. Mild and more or less drinkable.
