Draft. Sampled at Drafting Room Exton’s Baltic Thunder Debut, 1/5/2008. I heard about this blend during the Craft Brewers Conference in 2005, and I really wanted to sample it. I figured that it was all gone, so I’m glad that I had the opportunity to sample it. The beer poured deep browish amber, with a moderate sized tan head. Aroma was primarily chocolate, with some caramel notes. Chocolate came through in the flavor, with some smoke and nutty flavors. This beer was definitely showing its age, but I’m still glad that I was finally able to try it.

Draft. dark brown with small tan head. Malty aroma of chocolate and caramel. Fizzy mouthful. Light sweetness with light dark fruit flavors. Fizzy finish. No bad bbut not that great either. I struggled to finished the 10oz.

On tap at Baltic Thunder release party at Drafting Room. Blends are always a tricky thing, especially one and a ahlf year old porters. This stuff doesn’t really hold up too time. Chalky mouthfeel, still a bit hoppy but stale tasting.

Had a bottle with John from Churchkey, lovely deep amber brown color, good amount of tan beige head. the nose was nutty with a bit of smoke and some sweetness. the flavor and im not sure if this was the age gave slightly a black licorice flavor, slightly smoky some dried fruits and good malts great beer
