Dec 24, 2008 The roasted malt aroma in this bottle smells wet, not like cardboard, but like low tide sand while clamdigging. Body looks thin, color grays on the edges. Burnt grain, too present alcohol, thin body and a biting finish. bleh

**Aroma / Appearance** - A fluid black body was decorated by a one finger tan head. A clear sheen of lacing tickled the sides of the glass. Cocoa, black coffee, smoke, blackberries, and dark chocolate blended into a fusion of sweetness. Balanced and even it treats the senses to a great time.
**Flavor / Palate** - Creamy black coffee with drops of hazel and a little skim milk trace across the tongue. A woody transition prepares the palate for a carbonated aftertaste. The dry finish leaves you wanting more. It is pretty close in spirit to Perkunos Hammer but yet maintains some individuality.

Dec 23, 2008 has a sweet caramelish brown sugar aroma to it. I thought this was a nice baltic porter had a nice element of toffee nice creamy body maybe some brown sugar and an unusual aftertaste i cant put my finger on.

Dec 23, 2008 Blackish colored, moderate to large sized head with good lacing and retention. Aroma is very nutty with notes of chocolate, caramel, touches of roast and coffee. Fairly fruity as well. Medium bodied, decent balance. It still feels like "something" is lacking though, but I cannot quite pin it down.

Dec 21, 2008 Bottle from Sams. Nearly black pour without much carbonation. Very roasty nose; chocolate malts, toffee, coffee, a bit of vanilla. Added lactose on the taste as well as some subtle fruit notes. Slight bit of perfume (roses?) even. A bit thin taste and palate. Damn you, Duck-Rabbit, you have ruined me to other Baltics.

Dec 21, 2008 Bottle courtesy of sebletitje. Pours a clear dark brown amber with a one finger tan head that leaves good lacing. Aroma of roasted malt, dark fruit, chocolate, and coffee. Taste is the same as aroma. Medium mouthfeel with a moderate amount of bitterness and smooth alcohol. Very good.

Dec 21, 2008 Updated: Sep 7, 2009Bottle. Chocolate, dark fruit, winey aroma, good roasted malt. Flavor is quite fruity, chocolately, a touch of coffee, with roasted malt but not really burnt. Mild, actually, rather sweet but well balanced, not a trace of alcohol. Very well done.
Cybercat (778), Georgia, USA
Dec 20, 2008 Aroma is rich and smoky, and has hints of coffee and molasses. Color is a barely translucent dark brown with a thick, tan, fairly persistent head. Flavor has quite a strong nip to it, like hard liquor. Other than that, it is somewhat typical of a good porter, like roast coffee with hints of molasses and unsweetened chocolate. Texture is smooth and tingly, very pleasant to swallow.
