33cl bottle from Solaris, Tallinn. Pours clear deep golden with a modest white head that doesn’t last too long. Malty and caramelly aroma with notes of honey and hints of whisky and wood. Moderate to medium sweet with mild flavours and a very light bitterness. Boring, but drinkable. --- Beer merged from original tick of Whisky Oak Aged on 26 Nov 2016 at 21:38 - Score: 6
