UPDATED: JUN 26, 2007 Bottled. Pale golden, no head. Sweet and sugary with medium body. Some butter and cellary tones, otherwise solid and straight forward. Low bitterness.

Bottled. Yellow colour, minor white head. Skunky nose and harsh hops. Flavour is salty, hoppy and very harsh. I wonder what toxic waste is used in this, and who it is made for... Only positive thing is the galliano-formed bottle.

Bottle 460 ml, bottled 07/2006. Yellow color, no head. Skunky aroma, some hints of diacetyl too. Starts a bit fruity malty, then strong flavor of cardboard. This neer is real awful. Storing it in clear bottle does not help. Either being candle shaped ...

Botella. Pale unclear golden colour. Grainy aroma. Fair mouthfeel. Soft malty and mildly bitter flavour. Afanasiy means "immortal" ... Premium Immortal beer.....

460ml clear bottle.
Yellow, for pity’s sake! Bugger all aroma. Corny, boring, bland, sweetish. Fortunately not horrific, but that’s about as positive as I can be.
