4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle, thx to faroeviking. Pours a really dark brown body, clear looking, with a creamy beige head. Quite burnt aroma with chocolate and a little fruityness, smooth and balanced. The flavor has chocolate, some roasted malt, a lovely fruityness and a wee touch of grains. Silky, warming and full-bodied. Smoked and fruity finish. A really good beer, smooth, but maybe a bit on the sweet side, would like it a little bit drier. (080301)

Courtesy of Degarth, thanks buddy. Pours dark brown with tan head. Poured at room temperature too, oh yeah! The aroma is fantastic with roasted dark malts split by dark fruity esters that lead into toffee and caramel candy goodness. The taste is only mildly roasted dark and caramelized malts but mostly rich sweet dark fruitiness. I get sweet Concord grape jam, sweet ripe plums, ripe cherries, some dates and a hint of raisins. The roastiness starts with hints of dark roasted malts and some mild grainy malts before the big fruity esters take over the flavor entirely. Very yummy.

Bottle in Riga. Reddish-brown with beige head. Aroma of roasted malts and coffee notes. Brown sugar sweetness that leads to a sticky bitter finish. Nice porter that is pleasant to drink.

1pt 9oz bottle from 6-Pack & Subs, Lancaster, PA...last one in the cooler...Latvia? OK!...pours very dark brown, medium tan head...sweet smell of toasted malts, mocha...mildly sweet, smooth taste of dark fruits, some hints of coffee and chocolate, alcohol well hidden but seems to give a little bit of a black licorice flavor...smooth mouthfeel...I really enjoyed this.
