Jul 27, 2009 This black ale poured with a generous tan head and a coffee aroma. There is a substantial roasted malt flavor with some nuts, toffee and a little chocolate. It’s pretty tasty but slightly watery.

Jul 22, 2009 Not bad, but pretty mild flavors for a porter. All the notes are there...the roastiness, the coffee and chocolate, and it’s nicely balanced between them, in that none overpower but, in truth, ALL could be stronger.

Jul 20, 2009 Pours a near black color, some light amber hues around the edges can be seen. Full head at first but diminishes quickly. Smells of sweet dark fruits, and rich caramel. Has a rather suprisingly sweet characteristic to it,some roasted malts are noticeable and definitely rich caramel as well. Finishes light and sweet. This a very nice take on a porter. Very enjoyable.

Jul 19, 2009 Served with a straw at our favorite place in Bishkek, but only available one night. Tasty sweetish and complex porter, better than we expected. Seek this one out as a better alternative to the others.

Jul 16, 2009 Blind tasted - Poured mahogany with a little head. Smells of brown sugar, a little booze, and a little sweet malt. Not tons of flavor--some malt and a little coffee, along with some roast. Smooth, medium bodied and some decent carbonation. It’s drinkable, but pretty mediocre.

Jul 7, 2009 Bottled 50cl. It pours a pitch black with a small, slightly fizzy beige head. The aroma is mainly of raisin, plum, wood, molasses, vanilla and port. A lot of raisin showing up in the taste. Medium bodied. Low carbonation. Sweet, malt accentuated with a low bitterness. Gluey, woody with hints of molasses and vanilla. Not much lacework. Residual sugars in the finish which is gluey, reminiscent of cane sugar, plums, wood and caramel. Decent.
