| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Aug 22, 2008 I am partial to this one, since my wife is from Latvia. I’ve had this on several occasions in the country of origin. This one reminds me of a sweet malted milk shake and some coffee grounds thrown in, some dark prunish fruits as well and some herbalness, dark brown almost opaque and it attains an immediate 3 finger sticky head, settles to a fine layer of soapy lace, flavors are dark fruits, malted chocolate, some bitter coffee and herbs, palate is pretty thick, somewhat syrupy... I’ve drank a lot of these so I must like it. Give it a try. LooseCannon (936), Norfolk, Virginia, USA
