Bottled. A black beer with a lazing tan head. The aroma has notes of roasted malt, bread, and a bit of caramel. The flavor is sweet with notes of roasted malt, caramel, and bread, leading to a bitter finish. 6/5/6/3/11

Sweetish, slightly malty and cardboardy with hints of hay and earthiness. Easy going, generic slightly malty lager.

From tap in Riga. Bready malts with caramel. Light sweet with a touch of (wheaty) sourness? Medium body. Drinkable.
