Dark brown, and a bit red with a light brown head. This smells great, like vanilla cream, malty, and caramel. Flavour matches the aroma, but is a bit more bitter and watery than expected. Very sweet. Can taste a bit of chocolate lingering on the tongue.

Pours tar black with thick, lasting tan head. Not too strong of an aroma. A little sweetness, yeast and eastern european smells - I can best describe this smell as an exotic staleness. Thick consistency, buttery and a little oily. Flavor is rye bread, roasted malt, vanilla. Vodka-like alcohol flavors come through. Sweet cherry flavors as it warms. Dark chocolate bitterness in the finish.

500 ml bottle from Jonathan Ron in Brielle. Pours a clear deep dark brown with only a small lacing of mocha colored head which leaves no lacing what-so-ever. Aroma is super sweet malts with onlt slight roastiness and loads of sweetness, sort of like Hershey syrup lite, nutts, slight grains. Medium bodied with the syrupyness only coming out as this brew really warms up. Flavor is similiar to the aroma with a lot of swetness and less roastiness and a slight alcohol touch. Good stuff especially considering the $1.75 price for 500 ml.

A very black beer, with quick disappearing head. The palate wasa quite clean with a reasonable finnish. The flavour was predominently malt and chocolate. It was a good example of porter.

Rated 8/11/06: Been looking for this one for a while now so when I came across one I quickly grabbed it. Deep dark ruby pour with a thick tan head and some nice lacing. The aroma is very malty with a good sweetness to it. Great smokey flavor with a nice roasted quality. Licorice, coffee, and a touch of chocolate complete a tasty brew. Mouthfeel could be a touch thicker but it works. Overall a good porter.

Cerveja russa. Forte. Cheiro muito bom, torrado, suavemente adocicado, malte e chocolate, tons de alcool bem encaixado. Negra, com uma espuma cremosa de boa formação ambar. Aveludada, suave caramelo e chocolate no sabor. Grãos torrados presente. Notas soltas de alcool. Retrogosto torrado e bom amargor.
