50cl bottle bought in Riga some years ago (2013 vintage). Roasty aroma with dark chocolate, licorice and vinous notes, some caramel and raisins too. Sweet, smooth and rather pleasant sipper. Nice one.

Can from the Polish Delicatessen, opposite the Barum Top Inn, Halifax. Pinkish-red in colour. Sweetened taste, although not that stated in its actual red-berry flavours. There's a notable but not heavy carbonation. It's like lemonade with some added artificial berry flavouring.
