Poured a reddish brown color with a small, tan head that left light lacing on the glass. Aroma of warm melted chocolate, nuts, smoke as well. Taste was earthy, some brownie chocolate, raisins, and other dried fruits, and no alcohol at all. Enjoyable, better than I expected, considering the blend this is. Thanks Jack!

Jan 22, 2008 Draft. Sampled at Drafting Room Exton’s Baltic Thunder Debut, 1/5/2008. I heard about this blend during the Craft Brewers Conference in 2005, and I really wanted to sample it. I figured that it was all gone, so I’m glad that I had the opportunity to sample it. The beer poured deep browish amber, with a moderate sized tan head. Aroma was primarily chocolate, with some caramel notes. Chocolate came through in the flavor, with some smoke and nutty flavors. This beer was definitely showing its age, but I’m still glad that I was finally able to try it.

Jan 5, 2008 On tap at Baltic Thunder release party at Drafting Room. Blends are always a tricky thing, especially one and a ahlf year old porters. This stuff doesn’t really hold up too time. Chalky mouthfeel, still a bit hoppy but stale tasting.
