May 15, 2008 Lovely baltic porter. Not too thick and not too licorice-y for my taste. Aroma was strongly chocolate with a heavy roasted malt backbone. Pour was a nice near black with a one finger tan head that lasted half the glass. Taste was spot on in my taste. Nice medium mouthfeel with heavy chocolate and bitter roasted malt in the front. There is a nice lingering hoppy/bitter roasted malt in the aftertaste. Hides alcohol perfectly. Best of the style I’ve had.

I’m curious if this was mis-labeled. This tasked much more like a sweet, dark lager than a big bodied baltic porter. Mild sweet malt flavors - not very robust.

May 10, 2008 Deep red mahogany color with a big beige head. Nose of cereal grains, raisen, plum, and ash. Lots of fruit, with cherry, raisen, plum, banana, something spicey, lightly toasted bread and some earth hops that got overtaken in the finish by the burnt toast. Nice beer.

May 9, 2008 Dark brown body with a tan head. Sweet chocolate, roasted malt aroma with a bit of coffee. Starts out with a nice, moderate sweetness; overall a nicely balanced flavor. Excellent roasted malt, dry, lightly chocolatey finish.

May 8, 2008 Smells like salty tobacco, filtet mignot, and burnt coffee and tons of pepsi/cocacola. Very earthy and black tasting, though the beer is a light see-through black. It is very thin in the sense that it drinks easily but has a potent aromatic flavour that lingers long after it leaves your mouth despite it being light on its feet. Great beer, I will buy this many times. Victory for your taste buds!
