Mar 16, 2009 Courtesy of Papsoe. It is pitch black with a light brown, creamy head. The aroma has notes of roasted malt, chocolate, licorice and dark fruit. The mouthfeel is nice and fat. The flavour has sweetness and notes of roasted malt, licorice, dark fruit, chocolate and preserved berries. It is a very pleasant and well balanced Baltic porter.

Mar 13, 2009 12oz bottle thanks to MrChopin. Pours black with brown edges and thin tan head. Aroma is roasted malt, sweet sugar and molasses, coffee and bitter chocolate. Flavor is sweet with roasted malts, chocolate, caramel and some light coffee. Mouthfeel is medium as it smells thinner if that makes sense. It smells like an imperial stout but tastes like a porter. Really complex and a nice sipper.

Mar 2, 2009 Smelled of roaste/almost burnt malts. Poured midnight brown, zero head. Had a real roasted/burnt malt flavor with a real twang in the finish. A bit thin. Not impressed based on the high marks.

Feb 24, 2009 Bottle thanks to tronraner. Notched 9/08. Dark dark black pour with a quick tan head that leaves no cover. Nose is a bit thin, cold coffee grounds, some fruitiness, cocoa, anise, and maybe alcohol that is thinning it out. Nice body of sweet lightly roasty malts, heavy coffee, some chocolate and more anise underneath. Would just love it to have a touch more in the aroma.

Feb 16, 2009 Bottle from ’07 acquired via trade with blipp. Pours a silky black color with a faint ring of brown foam. Smells of baker’s cocoa and barley. Tastes like deer blood, mild coffee, dark cherries, caramel, and black licorice. Succulent, but not quite what the RIS offers.

Feb 15, 2009 Bottle, aged about 1 year. Pours a pitch black beer with a medium tan head. Aroma is super sweet malt and chocolate. Flavor is sweet, mostly tasting of chocolate and a dark fruit, malt character is still ther and the hops finish it with a nice bite that is bitter and dry. Alcohol is well hidden, mouthfeel is decent. Awesome beer!
