Pours a hazy dark brown. Thin beige head that dissipates quickly. Mild aroma of dark roasted malt and coffee. Flavor is similar, but has some noticeable lager yeast and an off-putting medicinal alcohol flavor. Very fizzy mouthfeel. Not a good one.

Bottle from pikapp327. Dark pour with a small tan head. Aroma is very roasted, chocolate, and almost fruity. Taste is bitter, a little coffee, and mostly burned.

Deep brown in color with a decent sized beige head. Aroma is of chocolate, roasted malts, light vinegar. Taste is of roasted malt, toffee, chocolate.

12 ounce bottle, that poured a dark black, with a tan head. Aromas of Chocolate, roasted malt, and licorice. It had a nice balance of the aroma that got me excited about the beer, however the flaovrs let me down, and kind of watery on the palate.

Location: 12 oz bottle from Colonial Wine and Spirits, 6/2/11

Aroma: The nose is malty, some chocolate, roasted malts, and some licorice
Appearance: It pours a dark brown color with a fairly large, creamy, light brown-beige head
Flavor: The taste is fairly sweet, roast/chocolate malts, some late earthy hop bitterness
Palate: The carbonation is overly fizzy, detracting from the palate, it is medium bodied
Overall Impression: I thought this was an OK Baltic Porter. It got me to a grand total of 2 ratings from Oklahoma! I can’t say too much great about the beers from this state, but they aren’t terrible either. Anyway, drinkable, but overly carbonated and ultimately just an alright offering.

Bottle pours mahogany with a khaki head. Aroma is salty and meaty with notes of shredded beef jerkey, metal, and cocoa powder. Flavor shows the same with additional notes of roasted malt and coffee.

Brown with red tinges. Beige colored decent head. The smell is slight metal, malts, sweet, chocolate, and grass. The taste is more metallic, bitter chocolate, malts, sweet, and greasy.

Chestnut colored pour, quickly fading head. Aroma is metallic, chocolate, light coffee and roasted malt. Flavor is char, lightly sour, and really not very good.

Tarry, prune jam aroma with some creosote. Dark brew with a creamy tan head. Friendly snowman on the label that looks like he’s trying to sell you a used car. Squat US twistoff. A little astringent, a little bitter, lots of fruit, a little sulphur. Not very coffee/roast-oriented, but fruit and creosote dominates this porter. Very effervescent. Not sure what to think about this one - technically decent, not sure how many I would like. Chan’s Wine World, PCB.

12 oz bottle from Spirits in Tuscaloosa. Pours a dark brown with a vigorous tan head. Nose is chocolate, earth, slight lager, and cardboard. Flavor is similar with fruit, cardboard, and lager lingering into the finish.
