Bottle, shared at the May 2008 tasting. Thanks Paul! Very dark brown, tan head. Nose is big cocoa, coffee, milky malt, slight iodine. Flavor is chocolate, honey, rich malt, cocoa, a hint of hops, alcohol.

Bottle from Glouglouburp. Big, bitter, chocolate and burnt espresso aroma. Flavor start very chocolately, milky in the middle, with a very lactic-sweet finish. A great beer.

Bottle. Thanks to Puzzl for sharing this baltic porter. Pours dark brown with off white head. Taste/aroma is coco, raisin, smoke, and some etoh. A good beer.

Bottle, shared by puzzl. Dark brown, clearish. Aroma is smoked, some meat and vanilla. Flavor is the same, some roasted chocolate, smoked and a tiny bit meaty. Good balance.

25 oz bottle, via jimbowood. Pours a dark brown body with just the slightest bit of light passing thru. Nice creamy foamy brown head that retained as a thin film. Huge intense fruity nose, all plum and to a lesser extent raisons, licorice, and cocoa powder. Just a touch of roast and some coffee. Heavy fruit flavor up front starts things off right, but the finish doesn’t do it for me. Seems kinda husky and rough with too much alcohol apparency. Lingering cocoa nibs and alcohol. Mouthfeel is full and thick with some lingering sticky clinginess on the finish. Nice pleasant soft carbonation. Overall, a little too much of a yeast profile as well. Ok, but it’s not as smooth as it could be. It really comes across as more "ale-y" than "lager-y" in it’s character.

Very tasty Baltic. Nose seems very licorice-like, and the flavor follows suit, a good quality, pure licorice.

750 ml. bottle The color is dark brown with a beige head. The aroma is of malt, the taste is also of malt with added taste of caramel and dark chocolat. There is a nice bitter finish to it that makes it pleasant.

Bouteille brune de 750 ml. Arômes de grains torréfiés et de cacao. Robe noire et peu effervescente. Goût de torréfaction, de chocolat et présentant une légère touche de fruits rouges. Arrière-goût de torréfaction et d’alcool. L’alcool demeure bien dissimulé. Intéressant.
