Thanks to bu11zeye for sharing this bottle.
The beer pours a dark brown color with a tan head. The aroma is heavy on the roasted malt and chocolate. The flavor is chocolate and roasted malt, as well as being lightly tart. Not sure if this is an early sign of infection or if the brewer intended it to be a little bit tart, but it doesn’t take away from the beer. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation.

Grumpy troll Baltic porter. 22oz bottle thanks to drew... Pours a dark chocolate cola brown with
reddish brown edges with a thin light beige head... Roasted malt comes
through majorly in the nose wit softer dark fruits lingering in the
background... Flavors follow suit nicely and in a good way. Upfront
roast followed up with chocolate and dark fruits to a lesser extent.
Clean with mild carbonation. Body good. Nicely done.
