500ml Bottle - Golden with a foamy white head. Malty and slightly metallic aroma, with grain and some faint hints of banana and yeast. Slightly sweet taste with malt, yeast and more hints of banana. Drinkable and certainly doesn’t taste its strength.

Bottle, Carringtons, Chorlton. Poured a red tinged copper colour with a moon crater like dissipating tan head. Lively carbonation. Aroma of boot polish, caramel malt, booze. Sweetish flavour. Malty, with some vague dark fruit. Drinks all of the 8%. Not exactly porter, but not too shabby nonetheless.

Bottle that was picked up from the Dodgy Deli’, Cowley Road, Oxford and consumed 19-04-09 Pours lemon in colour with a white bubbly head. This has a similar slightly metallic nose to as the Alexsandria beer from this brewery that I have had. There is some corny sweetness, its malty and its easy drinking. Can’t say I was a fan but I would say that there are far worse out there. A4 A4 F5 P2 Ov10 2.5

Bottle that I picked up from the Dodgy Deli, Cowley Road, Oxford consumed 0704-09 Pours reddy brown colour with quite stunning clarity and a light tan head. Aroma is sweet and malty and big on alcohol. The warmth from the alcohol is very apparent, its sweet and really toffeeish and sticky. I know that this says Krynitsa Porter - imported by Bear Beer Ltd on the back of the label but this doesn’t really taste like a Porter. I agree with Lea it’s more barley wine. A6 A5 F6 P3 OV12 3.2

Thanks Andre, new beer country! Pale yellow color, not much head. Cat piss, grassy aroma. Watery, grassy, cheap hoppy flavor. This had past its prime, but I think when freshier it is not much better - watery and grassy that is.

Bottled (thanks brunnsbe!). Yellow colour, small white head. Aroma is rubber, some malts, maize and sweet grains. Flavour is burnt rubber and malts along with some harsh grassy hops. UGHAGH. Beers like this will probaly kill my mojo at some point.
