Bottle from Tbone_. Reddish brown color. Cherry juice and marzipan in the aroma. Cherry pits in the somewhat aspartame bitter flavor. Almonds and marzipan. Enough other flavors present to compensate the sweetness. Surprisingly good.

Bottle from Tbone_. Dark brown color. Milk chocolate aroma with some vegetable notes. Grainy flavor with cacao and milk chocolate. Caramel. Thin, not an entirely clean mouthfeel, but not unpleasant.

On tap at the Kuldse Notsu Kõrts Estonian Country Restaurant, Tallinn Old Town. Amber colour, white head. Moderately malty aroma, a hint of caramel. Bland flavour, acceptable malts but far too little hops.

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.
