BOTTLE 50 CL. Clear amber, off-white head. Very simple malty aroma - mostly cooked apples/fruit, only slightly fruit cakes with a touch of butter. The taste is just as simple - subtle fruitiness, moderate but ugly grassy bitterness. Boring, but drinkable - just what you would expect from a macro crafty.

Thanks Ogi! Clear, almost black red/brown. Tiny off white head. Huge aroma, malty, caramel and dried fruit, mainly plums. Rough maltiness and alcohol too, however. Reminds me of what Tomislav used to smell like. Taste, extremely light caramel and plums, random dried fruit too. And light brown sugar. Eh. Actually quite drinkable for the ABV, even though there’s alcohol in the taste. Ends dry, bit too dry. Not great, but not as terrible for me as it is for Ogi.

Somewhere in a can in Moscow: pours pale gold with white head. Aroma is cheap graininess and cheap bread. Kind of sweet and quite grainy. Tastes cheap over all.

150cl PET bottle from Solaris, Tallinn. Pours clear copper coloured without much head to speak of. Surprisingly mild aroma, bready with notes of caramel and raisins. Sweet, but not cloying, and a bit to mild flavours for my taste. Feels a thin and watery too. Easy to drink and fairly enjoyable, but nothing to write home about.

500ml bottle from Bliznetsy in Moscow. Pours dark brown/red with a small beige head. Aroma is caramel, alcohol, dark fruits. Taste is sweet, caramel, roasted malts. I agree with the previous rating that it’s like a hi-strength dunkel.

500ml bottle from a trade with vinivini. Pours dark brown with a medium-sized tan head. Aroma is port, dark malt, solvent notes. Taste is cherry, roastiness, port. Strange porter, but the best I’ve tried from Krinitsa.

Deep golden to light amber colour. Moderate airy head. Low retention. Weak lacing. The aroma is not powerful but pleasant. Tropical fruit, citrus, honey malts, resin. Light to medium body. Oily texture. Dry taste. Toffee, caramel, light to medium pithy bitterness. Clean. At finish it is fairly bitter. In general not a highlight of style. Still, coming from a macro brewery and being available in supermarkets, a nice news
