Bottle. Looks quite decent, nice beige head, colour looks maybe somewhat lighter brown but still OK. Aroma has some watery malts, wet cardboard. Taste has some caramel, metallic paint and some powerless stale coffee. Aftertaste just all over the place, bitter-ish and not really nice at all. Good that the people at Viru Õlu are trying but I wish they did a better job. Can only finish this one barely although I was quite thirsty before opening the bottle.

0,5L can (from Comarket). Pours hazy dark amber with light beige head. The head stays. Aroma is very sweet, banana, citrus, caramel, and something slightly nasty. Flavor is sweet, caramel, wheat, fruits, slightly acidic, oily, and some vegetables. Body feels watery. Overall: ok brew.

Bottle. Strange... infected, very sweet. Semi hoppy. Is this really an IPA? Rather drinkable tough.

33cl bottle as a gift. Pours clear deep golden to amber with a modest white head. Strange floral and confusing smell, this was what again? Indian Pale Ale? Not India Pale Ale? Well, confusing malty and slight bready aroma with lots of floral notes, some citrus, caramel and strange, sour berries. Strange flavours, strange mixture and quite unique - at least I haven’t tasted anything like it before. Wouldn’t call or guess that it was IPA, more a strangely flavoured lager. Fairly sweet with a fairly strange acidity that is more dominating than the bitterness. I have tried worse beers lately, but this is in a way more puzzling than horribly bad. Almost makes me want to try it again - then preferably another batch. Just for the fun of it. Wouldn’t recommend this to anyone, but... Hmmm. [BB: 04.03.2016]

Pours clear, a bit of foam. Looking OK. Aroma is actually not that bad. Has some hop character and although it doesn’t really feel like IPA, it can pass for a decent ale. Some "Viru Õlu-like" iron shining through as well. Taste is.. I wish I didn’t taste it. Sweet and sour horror. Why am I doing this to myself?

0,33L bottle. Pours dark brown with beige-light brown head. The small head stays for some moments. Aroma is old coffee, some nastiness and hint of alcohol. Flavor is sweet and bitter, bit chemical, metallic, old coffee, petroleum, alcohol, and some nastiness. Body is on the thin side. Overall: I agree that it feels more like coffee dunkel than coffee stout, but it isn’t as horrible as I expected.
