Comments: Thanks Savad! Smooth and good-looking, fairly alcoholic and not too sweet porter that perhaps has a touch of plasticy phenols, but is otherwise clean and fun to drink.

Dutch Ratebeer Gathering. Opaque with a small brown head. Roasted malts, obvious bitterness, some earthy notes, complexity. Great mouthfeel. I’ve heard people say that this is the best Russian beer, and so far i must say they’re right. Oh, and nice bottle by the way.

Full flavour, nice taste of toast and almost burned grain. This was labelled a porter, and it clearly is - maybe there are several beers with the same name? This was a fine brew!

6th Dutch Ratebeer Gathering. Black beer from Russia. It’s got a nice aroma full of herbs. Nice porter, herbs in the flavour are enjoyable. Dark chocolate/mocca like. A bit too strong in the taste perhaps.

6th Dutch Ratebeer Gathering. Aroma of roasted caramel and chocolate malts. Black coloured with a brown, thin head. Taste is bitter, sweet, roasted chocolate malts, mocca, some spice/earthiness. Medium body. Quite a decent brew.
