Pours unclear dark coffee in color with a big creamy sandy head.The nose is smoked malts and wood. The smoke is smooth, pure, but a little bit bacon. Body is medium, carbon light. Palate is overhelmed by smoked flavours. B@H

Bottle filled to the cap. Coffee in the nose. Pale large head. Dark black color. Bitter coffee taste with some smoke too. Hop bitterness at the end.

Pours dark and black with a thick tan head. The nose is smoke, roasted coffee, some chocolate, some vegetable though, not great. The taste is high sweet and low bitter. The texture is smooth and creamy, the body is heavy and finish is long. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Draught at reuben’s. Pours a dark brown with a finger of fine tan head. Settles in minutes with thin sheets of lacing. Aroma is smoked malt, roasted malt, hint of chocolate and bacon. Flavor is smoked malt and roasted up front with a mild dark chocolate finish. Nice roasted aftertaste. Soft carbonation, medium body and very smooth mouthfeel. An excellent, rich, and smooth porter.

Draft, at The Local Pub (Athens, Greece). Creamy, rich, smokey, malty, dark, smooth and balanced. A grown-up beer.

UPDATED: MAR 30, 2013 L’un de mes baltic porters préférés.C’est sur ce genre de bières que l’on distingue bien la différence entre le porter et le stout. cette version est bien gourmande, un bon coupe faim. Une belle réussite, comme l’american ipa de la gamme.

33 cl bottle from de hopduvel in Gent. Deep dark brown color with light brown head. Aroma of strong roasted meat, smoked meat? Dont like it but thats probably because i am a vegetarian. Taste burned malts , meat. Not my taste.

Black with a small, compact and resistent tan head. Aroma is coffee, mushrooms. Taste is coffee, some Coke. Overly carbonated, but pleasant. You don’t feel the 7% alcohol

Refrigerated 75 cl brown bottle from the rare beer of the month club caged and corked and poured into a snifter. Pours opaque black with dark brown highlights, medium light brown head which dissapates fairly quickly. Light smoke aroma, medium body, good thin lacing, and medium/low carbonation. Taste is roasty, some milk chocolate, salty, and some smoke (meat). Good, but not great.
