Jan 12, 2008 [943-20071207] 330mL. Light alcohol aroma has a bit of leafy malt roast. Black body with a long-lasting foamy tan head. Roasty malt flavour has non-rich coffee grain notes. Medium-full body. Quite a nice porter.

Jan 5, 2008 Rating #400. Bottle. Pours pitch black with a brown head. Aroma is roasted malt with a bit of chocolate and plum notes detected as well. Taste is heavy roasted malt up front, with detectable chocolate and dark fruit, and a surprisingly high alcohol burn for the amount of alcohol actually in the beer. Solid offering, but I was a bit disappointed.

Jan 2, 2008 Pitch black with a nougat colored and creamy head. The aroma has notes of roasted malt, a light sweetness, dark fruits and a touch of chocolate. The same goes for the flavour, where I also find licorice and a light bitterness in the finish. It’s a quite full bodied and warming Baltic porter! Thank you Tom/After4ever - it seems ridicilus to get a Finnish porter all the way from the US - the things we do to get new ratings - tsk, tsk....

Dec 31, 2007 I thought that this was going to be like one of those nitro-burning Imperial stouts that are fine for sipping, but not for the sessions that my stupid brother seems to want to have this Christmas. Instead it pours dark with a very bubbly beige head. Aroma was a bit off, and the first sip gave me the metallic taste of pennies in the mouth, but subsequently is starts out with a good fore-flavor of darkish malts with a light and more refreshing (read not dry) finish. Has some smoke to it. Easy drinking.

Dec 27, 2007 Very nice dark roasted aroma, but the flavor seems a bit light. Taste is somewhat reminiscent of diet coke.

Dec 27, 2007 Pours black and rather thick. Flavor is rather malty, but definitely not bad. Flavors more in line with chocolate and caramel fall in without much of a coffee influence. Excellent beer.

Dec 24, 2007 12 oz bottle courtesy of Dragonstout. Pours a dark brown with a brown head. Nose is of dry chocolate, dark fruits and malts. Tastes of light chocolates and dark fruits and roasted malts. Some raters have noted soy sauce. I don’t get that. This brew is a bit on the light side, but pretty good.
