Bottle shared by phaleslu, Thanks Peter! Pours a dark brown with a small tan head. Notes of roasted malts, malty gross coffee, malt balls, dark fruits, earth, and grain. Some light semen notes. Something about this was a little offputting.

UPDATED: MAY 2, 2006 Sweet malts and a bit of molasses, but also something adjuncty in the smell. Deep black with a three finger thick head. Looked lovely in a tulip glass. Nice steady release of gas and the head is as creamy and fluffy as you could ever hope for. Burnt dates is the dominant flavor with ample alcohol notes. It’s not very big flavor wise even though burnt flavors tend to dominate a palate this one does not. It feels so good though and looks so perfect you want to fogive the lack of big flavor.

Pours dark brown with tan head. Aroma of roasted malts and licorice. Sweet and roasty malt flavor with some chocolate and licorice. Medium body with moderate carbonation and a soft mouthfeel.

Frothy tan head medium size recedes to mild cover very dark porter aromas vanilla chocolate nutty caramel richness flavour yeast grainy touch good nutty caramel chocolate vanilla good mix not much bitter finish morishing maltiness leave a decent aftertaste

very dark pour with a frothy tan head. Aroma of smoke, and dark soy sauce, and roastd malt. Flavor is quite smoky, and roasty with more of the soy. Not bad, but not great.

Pint bottle. My first from Russia. Pours a clear dark brown with a thin tan head. Nose is roasty malts a caramel. Taste is chocolate, roast, sweet molasses and ash. Medium, fairly flat mouth feel. A decent porter.

Bottle. Nice deep dark brown in color with a tan head. Clean tasting and malty. Not too much malt thought, very faint. Dry in finish. Decent beer.
