| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Sep 28, 2008 Bottle. Black on the pour with a lively, quick head - good amount of carbonation. Not a terribly thick beer despite the dark color. My first beer of this type (Baltic Porter). Taste is much like that of Baltika 4. Sweet, roasted caramel malts with a fair amount of bitterness at the finish. DaSilky1 (2019), San Diego, California, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Mar 17, 2004 wet milky notes get soaked up into the roasted barley atmosphere turning the air almost whiskey-like, in an irish way..this dark creature had a secret, a brilliant ruby undertone selectably visible to the brightest of youths...the tan head had a chocolate milk-like appearance, was thin in the middle, but wasn't afraid to climb the glass...campfire smoke on coffee grains leads to sweet chocolate flavors...slight iron aftertaste, and a thin yet not quite watery palate leave questions as to where the alcohol is...Yes indeed it is the unthick; but flavors are still abound, and for what its worth, i like it. dirtymike (2018), Manchester, New Hampshire, USA

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 3, 2007 bottle from Plaza Liquors - Pours a dark brown color with a one and a half finger thick light tan head. Aroma is light roasted malt and faint chocolate. Flavor is lightly sweetened caramel malt and light chocolate. Palate is only slightly bitter and a little thin. This beer was a little better than I expected. Worth a try. mjg74 (2000), La Mesa, California, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jan 14, 2005 Pours a deep dark almost pitch black color. Aroma is mostly that of roasted malts and coffee. Beer has a really nice roasted malt flavor. Is somewhat bitter as well. Not quite as rich as some porters. Still it is quite good. sebletitje (1995), Tampa, Florida, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 11, 2009 pours dark brown, beige/mocha head.
Aroma is definitely roasted and malty with hints of dark fruits.
Flavor, fruity; prune, currants with possibly apple, some brown sugar and malts, light spices. Caramel profile is not dominant but a big part of the mouthfeel with a nice thin hoppy finish. beerbill (1975), Laurel, New York, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Jul 28, 2007 16.9 oz. bottle. Pours a very dark brown, not quite black, with a rich, creamy tan head that lasted until about mid-glass. Light but pleasant aroma of roasted malt, chocolate and alcohol. Slightly sweet flavor of roasted malt, chocolate and caramel followed by some hops bitterness and alcohol. As the beer warms, the alcohol flavor becomes quite strong and really overwhelms this beer. A bit thin with a surprisingly strong alcohol burn for a beer with 7% abv. This is a style I typically enjoy, however, this beer came up short. MIBRomeo (1965), Wisconsin, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | May 22, 2004 good froathy head.. dark color... good carbonation for a porter..
smell was mild but hinted of something sweet that I just can’t seem to place. strong roasted coffee malty style taste w/ just a tiny touch of bitterness.. a good beer for the price that I would definatelly drink again.
