Aug 27, 2009 I have had this several time before unrated. This latest one I assume is much fresher as its way hoppier than I remember. first of all its Pitch black. Virtually no red or brown tones when held up to the light. The nose has some salty acrid burnt coffee notes and a lot of earthy hops with some alcohol. The palate seams surprisingly thin but there is a wonderful clean hop bitterness. it actually bullied the malt flavours. This is really quite hoppy for the style but Ive rated it wll because I really enjoy it.

Aug 23, 2009 This is my first Baltic porter and as such I wasn’t sure what to expect.
Looks good and black with a nice creamy head. Smells hoppy as hell, unlike any porter I have ever had before. Nice and citrusy and floral scents dominate. Taste matches the smell as this reminds me more of an ipa than the porters I am used to. Mouth is thin and carbonated with quote a zing to it.

Aug 22, 2009 Incredible. Besides being a huge HST fan, I’m a huge fan of this beer. Has a terrific aroma of coffee and roasted malts. What makes this beer even better is it’s balance between it’s ABV and its flavor. What a great beer.

Aug 22, 2009 Bottled. Deep and dark brown, almost black colour. The head is minimal, beige in colour and somewhat creamy. The aroma is simply delicious! Deep, sweet maltiness is combined with milk chocolat and flowery hops. Plums, dates and such ripes have lots of sweet power. Gentle roastestedness lies somewhere on the background with a hint of vanilla. Roastedness and darker chocolate have more to give in the flavor. Thick, even syrupy maltiness and powerful bitterness shake hands in the middle. Dark chocolate and coffee beans give some sourness in the finish. The alcohol is totally absent. The palate is full bodied, oily and slightly carbonated. Overall it´s rich and powerful porter and best when at room temperature.
