Tap at PP Carlsbad. Pours black(more of a deep brown) with no head. Smell is bitter chocolate, yeast, dark fruit, caramel,light smoke and a light hop aroma of citrus. Taste is same. Mouthfeel is light with a decent carbonation. Little bit of alcohol is noticed but at 9.5% it is well hidden. Not a fan of Baltic Porters but this is tasty.

Jul 25, 2008 Very fine! On tap at the brewpub. Very nice aroma of dark fruit, which the flavor adds to: coffee, charcoal, roasty malts and milk chocolate, just about in that order. Deep, deep black, thin ring of white head.

Jul 21, 2008 Aroma is chocolate, dark fruit, light alcohol and cooked molasses. Flavor comprised of the same notes from the aroma, but with more concentrated alcohol, vanilla, deeper fruit notes and light coffee as well. Very tasty brew.

Jun 25, 2008 Thanks for sharing this one, iowaherkeye. The body was blakc with an orangeish tan head. The aroma was pancakes and plain brown syrup. I also got some milk chocolate. The taste was more of the milk chocolate with some walnuts. There was also coffee. A nice medium body kept this easy to drink. Solid.
