Jul 17, 2009 Pours oily/inky black, viscous, thick, black as black with a scanty dark tan head that laces surprisingly well. Nose is smoky, rich, and roasty. Restrained dark fruit, hut metal, salt, bitter chocolate, milk chocolate. coffee. Tastes big, rich, creamy and yet sharp, flinty, smoky, flint and gunpowder spiciness give way to spicy chocolate. Mildly oily, very ashy and more bitter as it warms. Also drops the metallic character as it warms. Killer.

Jul 8, 2009 On tap at 4th Avenue pub (a couple weeks ago). Dark brown.black with lasting head and lace. Earthy wet forest undergrowth roasted coffee and chocolate aroma. Earthy bitter chocolate flavor with strong fruity fig and dark fruit. Smooth but too fruity. Like roasted chocolate figs.

A very good Baltic Porter at a very decent, affordable price.Some lacing on the glass. The beer clung to the side of the glass.
