Nov 30, 2009 Pours dark brown black with a nice beige head. Nose has quite a bit of dark fruit could be mistaken for a belgian. Palate follows suite, with caramel malt, more dark fruit and the slightest hint of choc/coffee dark malt. Also a bit of licorice. Certainly worlds away from others of the style: zywiec, okocim etc but still quite enjoyable. Can’t shake the Belgian-esque feeling though.

Nov 27, 2009 500 ml bottle from the LCBO. gift pack. pours black with a tan head. very muted aroma of dried fall leaves, cara malt, touch of roast. the flavour is better. the malt body is decent and the hops come in near the finish. a touch thin and a bit tinny (which i hate). not my thing.

Nov 21, 2009 Aroma of caramel and milk chocolate. Appearance is black with moderately carbonated mocha head. Flavor was nearly identical to the "4" (which is a doppelbock). I cannot really recall any differences in these beers, granted, I tried the doppelbock around 1 month ago. This is is also fairly sweet for the style, not very roasty. Palate was bubbly. A beer with an identity crisis, and hopefully not the best Russia has to offer.
