This hearty dark ale is roughly modeled on the big satisfying stouts once brewed in England for travel to Russia and the court of the Czar.

Pours very fine tight tan head. Dark black body, Aroma of fine chocolate crossed with molasses and coffee. Coca flavors in the taste. While there is some mouth feel, it’s pretty light, which doesn’t surprise me for something that’s only 7% alcohol. Nice beer over all.

Draught @ Eskilstuna Ölkultur. Malty. Small smokeiness. Not bad, but nothing special.

12-JUN-2009. Bottle at Ulkløbben. Brown with an oily look, little beige/brown head. Sweet chocolate and coffee. Malty but not very hoppy. Creamy, smooth, good.

Deep black pour with brown head. Aroma is of cocoa, chocolate, sweetness. Taste is of chocolate, cocoa, roasted malt, sweetness. Leaves a dry mouthfeel. Some bitterness at the end. Leaves lacing on the glass. Alcohol is hidden. The roasted malt flavor lingers in my mouth.

Nose: good , thick roast , dark chocolate , bitterness of dark malts , espresso with shot of vodka. 7+
Flavor/Palate : Superb roast qualities. Smoky ,roasty , toasted barley blend with mocha and tar. All ingredients and flavour elements well put together. Very smooth with soul of Baltic Porter in it. Delicious Old Europe.

Bu au Mondial 2009, le 4 juin (#11). Brunée torifiée, peu de collet. Arome de réglisse malté avec un peu d’alcool. Goût de et de petits fruits, mocha malté avec une finission sec. Peut-être pas le bon style mais assé savoureuse!

Aroma is interesting, chocolates, roasted coffee. Flavor does not uphold those notes, bland watery finish. Not impressed.
