Apr 24, 2008 A gift from my parents from Asheville: Poured a very dark opaque black colour with large brown head. Thick, creamy, chocolatey, intense coffe flavors. Like the darkest of the dark roast. Aroma is strong of roatsed malts and alcohol. Toffee, nuts and thick carmel. Excellent beer, hope i can get my hands on this again sometime soon.

Apr 19, 2008 12oz bottle. Pours black with brown highlights, very small light brown head, specks of lace. Smells sweet and dark fruity with a hint of sweet chocolate. Tastes of sweet, dark fruits, slightly toasty malts and maybe a little chocolate. Lingering flavors of toasty malts. Pretty thick body, moderate carbonation. Pretty damn good.

Apr 18, 2008 Bottle courtesy Durhambeer. Pours thick black with a thin tan head. Sweet chocolate, roasted grains, and hop aroma. Taste is thick roasted grain, sweet malt, cognac and a hint of cherry. Finishes thick and chocolaty. Just an outstanding baltic porter that works as an after dinner drink or just a great sipping beer.

Apr 16, 2008 Bottle courtesy of Hellybilly...Thanks!!! I’m a bit surprised by the mixed reviews here. Rich deep brown color with 1/4 inch cola head, this beer invites you with roasted Columbian coffee beans and sweet belgian chocolate. Sweeter than most, but still complex because of its molasses characteristics. Creamy texture that coats and soothes. A very good beer.

Apr 13, 2008 Black with a thin brown head. Roasted malts and chocolate aroma. Flavor had more roasted goodness, brown sugar, slight coffee, chocolate, molasses. Finishes a bit chalky, like most DR beers I’ve tried.

Apr 13, 2008 A Mes rate: Bottle at Tom’s UGT Pt. 2.
Deep dark brown with a thin beige rim. Sickly sweet with cloying plasticy caramel. Heavy roasted chocolate and just way too sweet for me. I wanted to like this I really did but it just did very little for me.

Apr 7, 2008 Updated: Jun 5, 2008Bottle, courtesy tronraner. Pours a deep black, with brownish highlights. A dark reddish brown head. Decent lacing. Aromas of rich roasted malts, vanilla, licorice, chocolate, dark candy, and brown sugar. Delightful. Roasted coffee flavors; very malty. Vanilla, caramel, brown sugar, molasses, raisin...a symphony of flavors. Rich, smooth, warming. Very easy to drink at 9%. Texture is chalky and requires full appreciation. Simply sublime.
