Bottle. Pours with an average sized brown head over a dark ruby body. Soy sauce-like aroma. Quite subdued flavours of soy sause-molasses notes, finishing with a hint of sweetness.

Bottle purchased from the brewery. Pours a deep reddish color with a nice, long lasting head. Initial aroma hints of coffee, chocolate and caramel. Nice mouth feel - slightly chewy. Above average finish.

Aromas of dark chocolate, a touch of orange peel. Enticing. Fruity esters. Deep brown, ruby colour. Dark chocolate flavour with a touch of tangerine at the finish. A very pleasant drop and one worth going back for.

Bottle at Minibar, Queenstown. Pours dark brown with a small white head. Aroma of roasted malt, coffee and cocoa. Similar flavour and also nutty. Smooth, bitter finish.

Danish bottle. Pours a light black with a beige head. Sweet with lots of burnt malts. Hints of coal. Medium bodied. Dry burnt finish.

(Bottle 33 cl) Pours a clear, dark, orangey brown with a small, rough, beige head. Lightly burned, peaty aroma. Medium in body with sweetish, roasted malt accents - almost port like - and some burned caramel. Almost no bitterness. Baltic Porter? 200208

Dark colored with hints of cofee and chocolate. Normal head. Malty, sweet taste with oily feeling.

Bottle. The toasted malt flavour was very enjoyable, with coffee and a little bit of chocolate. The hop presense is subtle. I like.

I’ve had this one in New Zealand on my honeymoon. Visited the brewery too.
Had this one from tap from the brewery pub. Dark colored, coffee flavored brew. Roasted malts.

I tried all 3 beers on tap at the Wanaka Beerworks micro-brewery. Tall Black poured beautifully. A rich malty, sweet beer, full-bodied, flavours of chocolate, coffee, slightly smokey. Appearance is a red ruby hue. Smooth on the palate.
