Clear golden amber, compact ivory head. Subtle Carmel and biscuit, a touch of sweet and tart citrus. Similar taste. Not a lot of flavour, but Very crisp and clean. Well done.

Cloudy dark brown - not as deep black as first time, creamy mocha head. The aroma is sweet dark malts with some cooking chocolate, citrus hops, some smelly roast. The taste is medium sweet dark malts sugars not too roasty or dry. Clear citrus hops presence - yep, closer to a (pepery malty) dark IPA than a porter. A good one though.
Draft at Craft Baza. Deep clean brown, almost black, creamy beige head. The aroma is a bit of dark caramel, only slightly roasty / chocolaty, spicy herbal hops and a touch of greener hops too. The taste is moderate round sweet chocolate and dark caramel, firm crisp spicy bitterness. Smooth clean easy drinking body. Might lack some of the malt bill extra-complexity of really fine porters and the hops are still just a bit aggressive. Otherwise, it's almost there. Really good.

Tap at the Smokehouse, Chisinau. IPA mixed with pub floor and BO. Deep gold colour. Sweet hoppy taste but also quite soapy ending. Some british ale ending. Nice when not thinking too hard.

Hazy bright yellow, diminishing white head. The aroma is light bread, rye bread - but not toasted, lemony acid notes. Taste - way less sweet than the average Cvas (in fact, the least sweet of the bunch), again, light bready and quite a bit of plain lemon / carbonic acidity. A bit too close to a lemonade, I'm afraid.

Hazy amber, frothy off-white head. Smells of bready doughy caramel malts, some tart citrus, shredded slightly oxidized fruit. Similar taste - soft sweet bread and a dash of citrus, soft pithy piney bitterness. Nice and smooth.

Quite A bit too hoppy for me. The bitterness is a bit harsh and dry. Tastes like a pale ale. Craft Baza 3 Chisinau

On tap at Craft Baza, pours a hazy amber orange with a small beige head. Aroma is intense, with lots of bitter dry hopping and bready malt. Flavour is dry and bitter, with lots of dry hopping and biscuity malt. Dry and bitter, with little character. Meh.
