omhper (17478) - Stockholm, SWEDEN - MAY 17, 2011
Bottled, thanks SaintMatty! Clear nut brown, rich firm head. Sugary nose. Super sweet with spun sugar and sweetened caramel. Light-mediu mbodied with syrupy mouthfeel, no bitterness. A cloying mess.

estpiwo (1086) - ESTONIA - MAY 8, 2011
Bottle. Dark brown color with creamy head. Fruity tones in aroma, maybe instant coffee also. Caramel taste, sweet malty tones. Bitter finish. Little surprise for me, more better than other Melnik brews.

Pours a dark brown, slightly opaque colour with a small, white, foamy head. Aroma of bready malts with syrup. Flavour of sweet bready malts, syrup, rye bread with some mild vegetable notes. Medium bodied with a slick mouthfeel and a dry, syrupy finish.

thirstyrabbit (719) - Tallinn, ESTONIA - JAN 7, 2011
Bottle. Dark brown body, medium head. Aroma is fresh and malty. Taste is sweet and malty. Low bitterness. Much better than Stary Melnik pale lagers, which vary from sub-average to nasty.
