Mar 8, 2008 Pours a deep, dark, clear burgundy with strong red/purple hues, and a thin tan head. Smells very roasty, sweet, and creamy, with some bitterness and a touch of toffee. Cocoa, chocolate, and coffee aromas also open up. The taste is up front, in your face lager, super dark and rich, with a balance between crisp and creamy. Chocolate and coffee flavors, with smooth sweetness and strong roastiness. Slightly sulfuric aftertaste. Over carbonated in the mouth. Overall, a great brew, but no Perkuno’s Hammer.

Mar 8, 2008 Courtesy of Degarth. Pours deep dark brown with dark tan head. The aroma is musty sticky prunes, dates and sweet blueberries that ride along with a layer of roasty malts and a mild vague earthiness. Nice even flavor to start with some roasty malts followed by prunes, dates and hints of sweet blueberries. Into the finish I get more roasted malts and mild chocolate malts. Nice flavorful brew but coming up short for a Baltic Porter style wise. Sure enjoyed it though.

Mar 7, 2008 Dark reddish brown, nearly black pour, with a medium ring of lace - aroma of vanilla and roasted malts, a wee bit of blueberry, a bit of metallic character - medium-bodied, and fairly creamy - quite sweet, with vanilla extract being the most dominant flavor - some roasted malt, coffee and light tobacco - some berry and whipped cream flavor - remains way too sweet throughout, especially in the finish (starts to get a sticky, melted marshmallow quality to it) , without enough roast or bittering hops to balance it out - Perkuno’s Hammer this ain’t.

Mar 6, 2008 From bottle : Pours very dark, with a good amount of carbonation, and a finger of light brown froathy head. A very roasty nose, with malts and sweet fruits. Taste is sweet roasted malts, with a little bit of the fruits, and definite tangy toward the end, and a sticky finish. Medium mouthfeel, with a smooth palate untill the end, where it gets sticky. Aftertaste is roasty, and tangy. My first Baltic Porter and i must say im impressed.

Mar 6, 2008 Pours a near opaque with very faint red highlights and a small and quickly dissipating beige head. Nose is heavily oxidized, with a strong copper quality, and a roasted malt scent. Pretty rich and full on the palate, with a strange melange of musty coffee, blackberry jam, and old leather in various stages before finishing respectably bitter, though it seems due as much to the alcoholic strength as the bittering hops. Just can’t say I’m too impressed with this brew; perhaps I’m just not in the mood.

Mar 5, 2008 Updated: Mar 7, 2008Bomber thanks to jrob_21. Pours a dark black that shows red when exposed to light. The aroma is mostly sweet candy and alcohol. The taste is mostly sweet brown sugar and fruit. Also some chocolate, bitter hops, and a generally smooth and silky body. Also some tobacco thrown in. Pretty good. Besides the aroma there is little notice of alcohol beyond the warmth.
