Dark black body with an off white head. Aroma has some cream, sugar and roasted malts. Flavor is sweet, dark malts, creamy coffee, molasses and sugar. Pretty smooth and easy to drink. Simple and flavorful.

Dec 30, 2009 A pretty boring porter. Not as sweet as one might expect. Rather light body too. This beer was really talked up to me and it didn’t really deliver. Not a bad beer, but not a great on either.

Dec 29, 2009 Another pick-up from the eastern european grocery. Pours black with a real nice thick tan head.This is a very easy to drink, simple porter, lots of chocolate malt flavors, and a tad bit sweet, all while having a rather moderate body.

Dec 27, 2009 Pours black with off-white head. Arouma of dark malts and some prune. Very smooth and creamy body with nice fizzy carbonation (palate is probably the best part of this beer). Roasty malts, licorice and hint of bitter at the end. Surprisingly good and sweet.

Dec 27, 2009 Dark pour, almost black, with a thick tan head. Roasted chocolate malt and syrup aroma, reminds me a little of chocolate chip pancakes. Sweet malty flavor. Medium but somewhat chewy body, I’m impressed, I bought this on a whim for $1.99 to rate a Russian beer, far surpassed my expectations.

Dec 23, 2009 From a 16 ounce pint bottle given to me as a Hannukah/Xmas/Winter Solstice present from my girlfriend - This one poured a very dark brew with a small, tight bubbled tan tan head of foam and weighty liquid. Tastewise, it has definite raisin and alcohol flavorings over a passing malty coffee base.

Dec 21, 2009 Bottle- Deep cola brown with a frothy mocha cap that laces well. Nose of coffee beans, vanilla, dark rum, dark chocolate, a bit of molasses. Tastes pretty sweet, of roasty malts, burnt toast, bittering hops, a bit woody. Has a bit of a metallic edge that detracts from the flavour a bit but thankfully it is only minor. Sweet malty finish, with roasty bitter aftertaste. Overall very good.
