Poured from 500mL bottle. Hazed gold with small white head. Messy rye and flat hop expression with some vegetal notes. Could very well be the age (at least 6 months old, but no date stamp).

500mL bottle, pours a clear golden with a medium white head. Aroma brings out some spicy rye, vegetal notes, bready malt, and very soft hopping. Flavour has a strange herbal, vegetal note upfront, light spicy rye, and muddled earthy hops. Muddled, herbal and lifeless. Not sure what the goal of this was, but it's not terribly pleasant.

500ml (thx, Ashley and Bree (the only helicopter pilot I know!)) @ Ryan's. Appearance: dark brown with a huge beige head. Aroma: inky, roasted malts. Taste: along the same lines, finishes quite bitter. Overall: a classic 𝚁̶𝚞̶𝚜̶𝚜̶𝚒̶𝚊̶𝚗̶ (yes, this is a cancellation in place!) Ukrainian stout.
