50cl bottle from Selver, Tallinn. Pours dark brown with a rather modest off-white to beige head. Smells almost like ginger bread dough. Herbal, slightly spicy and Christmassy. Sweet malty and slightly caramelly with fairly low flavour intensity. Drinkable.

Õlle on selline jook, et iga uus kord kui klaasi või pudeli suule tõstad, siis leiad midagi uut, sõltuvalt tuhandest-miljonist pisiasjast, mis hetke olukorda mõjutavad. Seega piirdun iga õlle juures selle tekstiga.

Bottle (thanks fatphil). Street tick. Smells and tastes like classic viru nasty. One sip of these was enough to say that never again.
