An absolutely great beer from Finland! Great roasted malt flavors with hints of caramel, coffee, and dark chocolate. Worth finding, a truly wonderful beer.

I’m seeing a lot of really high ratings for this one. Here’s a counter-statement. If you like a one-trick pony beer, here’s a candidate. This brew’s singular trick is darkness. Black. Darker than a black steer’s tuckuss on a moonless prairie night. As in, very dark. Some adjectives: licorice, coffee, sorghum molasses, soy sauce. Next!

33cl bottle. Smokestack chalice. Aroma is roasty, plums, ,milk chocolate, a slight lactic tang, and a bit of licorice. As far as I can tell, the color is black with a nice brown head that dies down pretty quickly. Big bodied. Initial taste is malty, with dark milk chocolte, lite dark fruits, and some roast and some tang followed by a rush of roast, nice maltiness, some tartness, and prunes. The ale yeast and munich are both apparent in this wonderful Baltic Porter.

33 cl, bb L70465N. Opaque black with a huge sugary head. Cocoa, caramel and coffee aroma. Tastes of dry cocoa, charred wood, lightly sweetened coffee, and some peppery herb. Medium-bodied, chalky, and has some tongue-tingle.

11.2 oz bottle purchased at Spirits RB. Pours a viscous pitch black with a large foamy brown head, the body is great but the head needs a little work. Initial aroma of tobacco, espresso, roastiness and an underlying sweetness to it all. Medium bodied that is light on carbonation and finishes bitter sweet. Very roasty flavor overall with notes of tobacco and a slight burnt flavor but towards the end there is a burst of dark sweetness. Wow I was expecting nothing and got something, something pretty darn good that is.

Bottle 33 cl. Pours an absolute black with a brownish head and an aroma of roasted malt and citrus. Taste is mostly roated malts, with some chocolate some undefined sweetness. Long bitter finish, pretty good!

Black. Dark brown head. Aroma is rich with roasted malt, sweetness... Flavor follows very well, fine balance between dry roasted flavors and the rich sweet malt. Oily feel and long balanced finish.

33cL bottle into pint glass. Pours a deep, dark black with a light, dark tan head that dissipates quickly. Heavy aromas of caramel, butter and roasted malts with a hint of coffee. Flavor is of dark chocolate, toffee, roasted malts, and a slight plum finish. Mouthfeel is thick and chewy. Great Baltic porter.
