Mild roasted sweet aroma. Nut brown. Diminishing head. Sweet roasted. Well-balanced palate. (5/3/7/3/13 3.1)

Dark ruby red brown, beige head. Light toasted nose. Brown sugar caramelly flavor. Maybe an own beer as this is so much better than Puls Tume Lager. (6/4/6/3/12 3.1)

Bottled (BB 09/2004)
This is propably the strongest beer in Estonia. Amber color with medium creamy white head. Sweet, strong alcoholic and ashy aroma. Fruity malty, a bit roasted, alcohol burns through everything else. Wariming. This is actually better than expected, just high ABV hits too much.

Golden coloured. Very sweet. The type of super strong lager where they pour in everything they can find in the cupboard which is sweet to try to hide the pure etanol flavour.

Golden coloured. Medium body, low bitterness, some sweetness. A standard lager, not much to add.
