Reddish-brown - not exactly a stout, but that’s what they are aiming for. Light caramel head. Aroma has a bit of roast and chocolate bitterness. Generally a faint-tasting beer. Light toastiness is the only character. The roast malt shows through with a little bit of bitterness in the finish.

Hazy amber. Smells caramelly. Tastes quite caramelly as well with some toasty/chewy character from the crystal malt. Ok, but boring beer.

Hazy bronze with gentle sparkle. The aroma is slightly caramelly, with a light minty spiciness. Vaguely caramelly taste, maybe with bread notes. A fairly non-descript amber/Vienna lager.

Thickly-sedimented with a big thick head. Took forever to pour this one. The aroma is light spice, mixed with apple, pear and banana. Almost herbal tasting and quite yeasty. Thick and soft on the palate.

Sedimented and pale - like a witbier and more than any lager style...which is actually common for Russian brewpubs. Yeast bomb aroma with fairly doughy, sweetish taste. Soft. Goes down ok, very Russian.
