Smell-weak,. malt, caramel, whiskey maybe, alcohol. Foam-thin, caramel, sweet, malt, acidic, alcohol. Head is tiny, dark brown in color. Appearance - brewer bottle cap, picture of a cowboy, I guess, on the label... no bonus this time. Basically black color, no visible carbonation. From - snifter Taste - caramel, malt, alcohol, whiskey. Alcohol is not hidden at all, there is some sweetness, roast, malt in the mix. I would say tamed down this would be better.

Smell-weak caramel, malt, alcohol, maybe bourbon, but hard to tell. Foam- thin, weak malt, roast, alcohol. Head is tiny dark brown color. Appearance- brewer bottle cap, the label is unique, but no bonus this time. Basically black color. From - snifter Taste - weak malt, acidic tones, faint caramel, alcohol. Some roast maybe, faint sour notes. Not as good as the other '12 menesus noturets' I just had.

Smell-malt, rum, caramel, faint roast, nice. Foam- medium-thick, sweet, malt, caramel, alcohol, rum, faint sour tones, nice. Head is tiny, dark brown color. Appearance-brewer bottle cap, the label is simple, but do have a nice shop on it, without huge M letter over it it would look even better. Very dark brown, but basically black color, some weak carbonation. From - snifter Taste - caramel, sweetness, rum, alcohol, some acidic tones. Loads of rum notes, sweetness, and alcohol, some roast, maybe coffee tones. Good stuff, but not the easiest drinking one.

Canned as Utenos Radler Lemon. Appearance: cloudy pale yellow with a moderate white airy head of low retention. Aroma: sugared lemon, lemon peel, malt. Taste: pretty much the same with additional lager yeast at ending. Palate: light plus body, fizzy carbonation. Overall: an basic commercial radler. What else can I say?

Good dense pale-pink head over beautiful deep Burgundy beer. Strong concentrated cherry(syrup) nose, Cherry Heering, cherry sweets. Less sweet than feared, strange, faintly smokey flavour overlying, not phenolic. Still a typical cherry kids' sweets flavour, I poepekes /I. Even a hint at (CO²?)acidity in the finish. Light body, bit watery, good carbonation. Ho-hum cherry beer.
