(Bottle. Thanks to SaintMatty) Mahogany colour with frothy, beige head. Malty, slightly roasted nose with notes of dark bread, caramel, wort and dried fruit. Malty, slightly roasted taste with dried fruit, prunes, caramel and spicy hints of nutmeg. Medium body, rather sweet, with low bitterness. Despite the sweet, syrupy malt and lack of hops it’s still quite clean and enjoyable.

Dark ruby color, small beige head. Bock-like nose: dark malts, toastyness, some dry coffee, grassy hoppyness. Toasty maltyness, some caramel in the flavor. Finish has some grassy hoppy bitterness and some alcohol. A bit watery palate for 6% bock. One of the best beers from Viru. This is quite close to German bocks.
