50 cl bottle @ HeBF’13, BBE 25.03.2014
Aroma has cocoa, some woody notes, malt and hints of alcohol. Flavour has soy sauce, some salty licorice, hay and distant woody notes. Also hints of vanilla ice cream. Feels a bit artifical with essence aromas. Quite typical east European porter.

Dark brown colour, small head. Notes of dark rye bread, a bit of sweet aromas like caramel or honey. Medium sweetness. Drinkable and thirst-quenching, sweetness does not disturb and the aroma feels very natural.

Dieses Bier lässt sich am einfachsten so definieren: es riecht schon stark nach Pumpernickel und so schmeckt es auch: wie gezuckertes Schwarzbrot. Vom Geschmack her sehr intensiv und interessant, aber doch etwas gewöhnungsbedürftig.

Medium sweet flavor with dark bread, cocoa, mild char, faint earth. Medium bodied with fine, smooth carbonation. Moderately sweet finish with smooth cocoa, dark sugars, charred malts, light roast. Very decent baltic porter.

bottle, thank you kevnic2008! Clear golden yellow, large, creamy white head. Lovely aroma of freshly ground pepper. Malty base, quite light-bodied, with very, very few hops. The aroma was very promising, the beer itsself is a solid pale lager.

bottle, Dank an kevnic2008! Clear golden yellow, large and creamy white head. Malty aroma. Bready, slightly grainy malt base with a shy, but pleasant hoppy touch in the background, more intensive in the finish.
