Aug 7, 2005 Pours a transluscent brown with a light head. Roasty taste with traces of something that reminds me of soy sauce and a pretty weak finish. A bit too thin in the mouth, too. Definitely drinkable, but could be better.

Jul 31, 2005 Deep clear garnet body, thick, puffy, dissipating light tan head. Light mocha aroma with hints of toffee and caramel. Rather thin body, metallic, with light tangy toffee and raisin notes in addition to burnt caramels. Odd, bitter, metallic finish. Maybe a touch of raisin, too. Sweet notes round out the palate, but there’s too much of a watery, thin, perhaps stale quality here. Not on par with the better baltic porters.

Jul 22, 2005 Pours a deep brown with moderate tan head, and some lace. Aroma is of a typical bland lager- slightly stale, metallic and a bit skunked. Flavor is a bit oxidized, some scorched malts leave a harsh acrid aftertaste. Also some cardboard, stale malts, some metallic flavors. Cidery and burnt aftertaste.

Jul 14, 2005 Dark copper. Thick heavy malt aroma. Upfront sweetness with a touch of cola. Nice Porter, perhaps a bit light for a Baltic. Sweet finish. Not high on the roasted notes.

Jun 5, 2005 This poured a deep, dark brown with a creamy light brown head. It’s got a roasty caramel aroma with a hint of juicy plums &/or raisins. This is a real smooth, creamy drink. It’s flavor is caramel and raisins with a hint of chocolate and brown sugar. It’s got a sweet, but not overpoweringly so, finish. Nice Baltic.

May 3, 2005 Bottle poured black with a nice creamy head.
Very light aroma of sweet roasty malt.
Good medium body with a good roasty start, sweet alcohol in the middle with a very slight metalic palate.
Not bad!

Apr 13, 2005 Updated: Jul 26, 2007This was an insanely smooth porter. By far the best of our little international tour. I got flavors of vinalla and bourbon. Still kinda thin ,but quite a good brew

Apr 11, 2005 Deep brown and carrying a milky thick head. Aroma of fruit, caramel and chocolate. Big in body with a strong raisen and caramel flavor and a little malt. Finishes clean with some chalky bitterness. Big and juicy. Could almost be catagorized as a dopplebock if if was a little lighter and had more of a malt profile.
