Good because it is a porter, actually a good type of porter. Not too sweet, not too roasted barley tasting, good in between style of porter. Good after dinner drink.

smoosh (523) - New Albany, Indiana, USA - OCT 27, 2004
Bottle - a fairly simple and one dimentional aroma. Some malt. Deep brown body and a nice, tightly bubbled beige head. Fairly one dimensional - chocolate in the aroma. Chocolate, of course, in the flavor. Very drinkable and very nice!

Rich sweet and strong. Creamy brown head, firm body, tons of chocolate malt, slightly hoppy.

Dark brown appearance with a vinous, dark fruit aroma. Smooth, sweet malt taste that compliments the medium-to-full bodied mouthfeel. I think this beer would surprise a lot of people if it was compared to other Baltic porters in a blind taste test.

Bottled. Probably the beer to get when you’re in Russia. Nice maple smell, and pours with a notably brown rocky head. Has some good coffee roast malt notes, and then maple, and a little bit of honey, come back as you sip. In fact, it almost has some barley wine character that makes it well worth picking up.

HopsOrDie (687) - New Lenox, Illinois, USA - APR 11, 2004
Dark pour with a medium off tan head. Nose is yeast and banana with some smoked malt. Flavor is different from the smell and more like a typical porter with caramelly and smokey flavors. Very well balanced, and the alcohol is very well hidden. I can't believe it's 7%.

SDbruboy (1857) - San Diego, California, USA - MAR 20, 2005
Bottle. Pours dark brown and opaque with faint garnet highlights when held to light. A large tan head fades slowly and leaves some lacing. Aroma is sweet, dark malts, molasses, herbs and dark bread. Sweet and slightly tart, a bit of burnt sugar and dandelion. Medium to full body and gentle carbonation. Definitely interesting and pretty nice.
