What about the beer?
Colour is black with medium light beige head. Aroma has roasted malts, hops and a twist of lemon. Taste begins with sharp roasty and carbonated bite. Roasted bitter grapefruit dominates with some blueberry and herb flavour on the side. Towards the end we get hints of pine. Aftertaste is dry, roasted and bitter.
Enjoyable Iindia Black Ale with heavy roast domination. Blueberry, grapefruit and hoppy bitterness support the wholeness. Sharp but smooth and tasty stuff from the Estonians again. Named after an Estonian cartoon, the brew fits the brewery standards.

Black colour and the theme with forest and blueberries sent me searching for nature-related symphonic metal, preferably with a female vocalist. Not settling for the obvious choice (Within Temptation) I found this cover from this now-disbanded Brazilian band. Don't know if anything is left from the original theme, but I think the song fits to the beer's landscape nicely:
Hydria: Queen of Rain (YouTube)
From the 2010 album Poison Paradise, the song was written by Mats Persson and Per Gessle (originally performed by Roxette).
