Nice array of taste with this beer which makes up for its rather standard aroma and appearance.

500ml bottle. Cloudy reddish brown body, with medium mocha head, almost no lacing, medium retention. Aroma is yummy: caramel, coriander, sour cherry, a little bready. Taste is sweet with some caramel and coffee. Very light at 4.8% ABV. My favorite from Chernigov.

Bottle shared at a tasting at Dancing Camel. Thanks mom for this bottle! Very dark cloudy brown color with a medium beige head. Aroma of malt, dark fruits, a bit of roastiness and coriander. Sweet flavor with some malt, rye bread, fruits, and light spiciness in the drier finish. Light-medium-bodied. Not bad.

Rating #622, bottle at Øst-ølsmagning

Brown with a standard head. Unusual aroma for a brown- black beer as it was loaded with citrus and coriander - quite pleasing. Flavor is roasted malts, liqourice, citrus and orange. Surpringly fresh and not what you expect at all. Allthough the palate is a little thin the softness saves it, and this was actually the only good beer a brought home from Ukraine. Definately interesting and worth a try.

Malziger Geruch mit vordergründigem starken Koriander. Angenehmer Antrunk in dem das Malz sofort eine untergeordnete Rolle einnimmt, der Koriander ist mittelstark im Vordergrund. Im Mittelteil wirkt der Koriander deutlich schwächer da die vorher unterstützende Süße weitestgehend wegfällt. Erst jetzt ist erkennbar, wie schwach das Bier ohne diese Note aufgestellt ist, hinter dem Koriander ist nur eine seichte Hopfennote vorhanden, die immerhin konstant bleibt. Als Bier wohl eher nicht so super, aber irgendwie hat das Ganze mit dem Korinader etwas... 11/9/9/8/11/9

Dunkeweizeny. I like the sweetness, and the coriander is not overpowering although clearly present. Nice ecru head, very dense with only a few frothy bubbles, deep dark brown color. Smells of spice (pepper, coriander) and mixed grain (multigrain cheerios) with a sourish presence. A little too sour. Also a little too sweet upon full warming, cloying. I’m nearly sure this is weizen based, will have to look it up. Moderately easy to drink, I like the ABV. Fresh, from Dejsk. Best before Aug 2011.

Bottled. Red-brown colour with creamy pale brown head. Flowery, bit perfumy aroma with orange peel and coriander, lots of the latter. Caramelly flavour with dark malt additions along with coriander and orange peel. Not much taste in this beer.

Bottle. Dark red amber colour with a beige head. Aroma is coriander, citrus, malt. Flavour is malt, sweet, citrus, coriander, hint of hop, citrus, caramel. Medium body. OK beer.
