Flavor very nice, dark, chocolate malts, alcohol spice, coffee, sweet. Meium carbonation. Medium mouth feel. llcooldave (309), San Antonio, Texas, USA Apr 11, 2008 Slight licorice aroma. Pours dark and thick. Beautiful cola looking head. Sweet flavor with a clean roasted coffee aftertaste. Overall, not too bad, finishes clean but a touch too sweet for my taste. douglas88 (1555), Salt Lake City, Utah, USA Apr 9, 2008 Bottle thanks to beastiefan2k. Pours black with a thick and foamy head that goes down slowly. The aroma is roasted malts and some sweet brown sugar. The taste is pretty good; sweet molasses and brown sugar, some roasted malts, and a nice alcohol burn. For 7% this is really quite warm. Overall, I liked it. It is a smooth and sweet porter. IlanMan (816), Appleton, Wisconsin, USA Apr 9, 2008 Pour is dark with an aroma of sweet molasses and alcohol. Flavor is smokey, alcoholic, and sweet. Too sweet for a porter. Not real good. Alcohol is not hidden very well either. Won’t buy again. Liked the smoke but most of the other beer sucked. ChainGangGuy (2522), Kennesaw, Georgia, USA Apr 8, 2008 Appearance: Pours a dark brown body with a thin, beige head.
Smell: Sweetish aroma of molasses, a bit of roast, and a cup of simple syrup.
Taste: Dark malts with a taste of molasses with a bit more sugar added. Some roastiness. Never much in the way of hops or bitterness. Just a touch of astringency in the lightly roasty finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation.
Drinkability: Not the best baltic porter I’ve gulped down, but, for me, it was definitely the best stop on the trip through Baltika Land. BustedFlat (552), Edina, Minnesota, USA Apr 4, 2008 Poured black with a dark tan head. Aroma - Sweet malt and mocha. Very sweet like coffee and cream and a whole lot of sugar, Some roast malt, cocoa and molasses notes. This one was way to sweet and cloying and I like sweet.
jrmac (210), USA Mar 30, 2008 Good but not outstanding. Black in color, coffee, and chocolate on the nose. Taste follows with these flavors and that of roasted malt. TrefwoordPunk (549), Leiden, Netherlands Mar 24, 2008 Updated: Mar 25, 2008Bottle 50 cl. Pours a pitch black with a medium tan head and a a very sweet and burned aroma. The flavor is sticky and sweet wit lots of burned malts and of course alcohol promininent. I like it, but it is a tad too sweet for me.
