Bottle. Hazy pale orange colour. Lush rocky white head. Perfect retention. Spicy nose. Light coriander, subtle malts, perfume, flowers. Very pleasant. Light body. Almost watery. The taste is not as good as the aroma. Slight spiciness. Floral notes. Minimally salty. That is it.

Bottle. Amber ale with moderate frothy off-white head. Malty nectary aroma. Hints of yeast, citrus and tropical fruit. Medium body. Oily to creamy texture. Plenty of malts and big hops form the flavour. Really imperial-like. Grassy. No fruitiness. No freshness.

Bottle. Deep ruby to brown colour, well-seen yeast sediment. Small ivory head. Stays as a thin layer. Aroma: dried fruit, esters, dark malts. Full body. Soft carbonation. The taste is mighty. Raisins, prunes, brandy, chocolate. Light bitterness. Warming alcohol. This is a very well executed quad, especially being made in Russia.

Opaque petroleum black, moderate beige head. Weak lacing. Powerful malty aroma. Sweet treacle, moderate roastiness. Fruity esters, vanilla & cream. Full body. Sticky texture. Medium sweet taste. Big maltiness. Cream. Dried fruit. The touch of alcohol on ending adds a negative feature to the general very good impression.

Clear deep golden. Medium sized white head. Average retention. The aroma is lollipop, corn, spice and a slight banana touch. Medium body. Sweet malty taste. Candy, sunflower seeds, spicy yeast. The ending is somewhat hollow due to low hopping. Still a pleasant blonde ale.
