Red-brown color. Big, off-white head. The aroma is malty with coriander. The taste is caramel, spice, and minimal bitterness. Probably the best from Chernigivske.

From Ukraine, brewed with passion though I can't understand much else on the label ; )
Dark and mystical, great foamy head that stays around for ages.
Complex burnt chocolate aroma.
Quite light for a dark beer...not much flavour really happening. I can't detect much malt or hops. It contains coriander apparently though it's very much in the background. I have been quite impressed with Ukrainian beers though this one needs to be brewed at a higher strength with probably more hops...for me it lacks the smoothness or flavour of other similar beers.

Dunkelweizen with a twist, which is coriander (and added glucose syrup..)
Pours dark brown, almost black, with a rich tan head that last for a while; sticky lace remains.
Coriander pops in the smell, sweetened with caramel and honey, quite a lot of fruitiness (berries, peaches), some spicy herbs. Very faint roasted malts. Smells like iced tea actually.
Tastes sweet from start to finish: sweet fruit at first, again peaches, apples, forest berries, mild citrus, then spicy with "soapy" herbs, some green peppercorn. Finish has a bit of roasted grains, not too strong, and hints of burnt sugar. Mild herbal notes linger, too.
Medium body and carbonation, refreshing, lighter than the usual dunkelweizen, not disturbingly sweet.
This was nice. Not traditional in the slightest, but fruity and tasty.

Poured this at a good temperature with lots of foamy, very frothy, fluffy, tan head that soon settles down and a bit of lace. Color is a hazy dark brown amber. Aroma is malt, roast, beer. I don't detect corriander. Flavor is light, roast malt with carbonic tang up front with a little bitter in the back. Body is thin and carbonation ok. Finish is like flavor, average length, and forgettable.

500 ml bottle from Lviv
Pours very dark brown with thin, but solid head and sticky lacing.
Aroma is fruity and spicy (orange, strong blackcurrant, some apricot). Taste is quite similar and very rich, reminds of fruit tea, also weak caramel. There is decent and sweetish malty aftertaste.
Mouthfeel is quite medium, I expected it to bee a bit thicker.
Overall quite good.
