| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 18/20 | 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. Nordcore (271), North of, Norway

Aroma; Very sweet and hoppy with a sence of roasted malt and plumb. Flavor; The roasted malt comes more clear with a sence of chocolate and hops. Nice bitter ending.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | 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. dimenhetfield (173), , Florida, USA
| 4.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 10/10 | 5/5 | 19/20 | 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.
