| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Apr 19, 2005 In the pint bottle. Pours a reddish brown black color with a light brown head. Little or no aroma. Something of a smoked salmon flavor with decent chocolate overtones. A fairly decent mid-range body. JK (2961), Richfield, Minnesota, USA

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jul 3, 2005 Bottle. Molasses and chocolate malt aroma. Dark black-brown colow with no head. Molasses and walnut flavor - slightly bitter finish. Tasty - stands up well to other porters but can’t really expound as this was my first beer in this style. bb (2930), Martinez, California, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Nov 9, 2004 Bottle. Dark beer with a big creamy tan head. Aroma isn’t much - some malt and maybe some chocolate. Rich chocolate malt flavor that lingers. Body is just a little light - but not bad. Alcohol just makes a presence. Very easy to drink and enjoyable. beerbuzzmontreal (2911), Montreal, Quebec, Canada
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 22, 2007 Pours a black color with a thin beige head. Good aroma of roasted malt, chocolate, it’s somewhat lactic. Good flavor of chocolate and roasted malt with a mild lactic presence. While having the same elements, the flavor is less interesting than the aroma, it finishes astringent and bitter. The body is light to medium with a creamy texture and moderate carbonation. skortila (2905), Bunnik, Netherlands
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Mar 18, 2003 Burned malty nose. Black coloured, brown head which dies quickly. Burned malty taste, moderate bitter. Boring beer. BMan1113VR (2894), Los Angeles (and Dallas), Texas, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Feb 11, 2008 Aroma is heavy chocolate with some roasted malts and light hops with some nutmeg, brown sugar and a dash of soy sauce. Pours with a large brown head that covers an extremely dark brown body (practically black). Taste is for the choclate lovers, it is extremely sweet throughout with lots ’o chocolate! There is a pretty decent alcohol presence. Creamy body and lively carbonation round out this suprisingly good Russian brew.
