Really nice stuff, one of the best porters I have ever tried. Lovely dark chocolate notes, coffee and caramel, creamy amd smooth on the palate. Full bodied and deceivingly powerful.

The aroma is of roasted coffee and chocolate malts. The beer pours a deep black with a tan head. There is a slight coffee and chocolate flavor and the finish is fairly mild.

12 OZ bottle via RegallacMC(thanks!). Pours a dark brown almost black with an average size tan head. The aroma is of mocha, toffee, band-aid and vanilla. Taste is of fruity esters-plums, cherries, cantelop, nuts as well as some burnt chocolate and caramel malts. Like many Baltics, this reminds me of a good dopplebock. If there is a Baltic porter that is ’the measuring stick’ for the style this is it..or is it? Seems nobody really know..but i think this is close.... Maybe not the tastiest of them all to my tastebuds, but the baraometer perhaps?

got this beer at red apple in bremerton, washington. pours opaque with a small khaki head, good lacing. faint smell that is cocoa, roasted malt, brown sugar. taste is sweet, milk chocolate, touch of coffee, slightly bitter, leaves the mouth on the dry side.

ya know, not all that bad. Had this at the CU beer fest and it was most definately one of the best things being offered. Dark in color with a tan thin head. The nose is soft and malty with a touch of spice. The taste is smoothe and slightly hoppy underneath lots of coffee malts. Good overall,

Pours pitch black with brown head. Aroma is nice and of roasted carmel malt. This beer is very sweet but I guess that’s the style. Lots of carmel malt in this one. Doesn't taste of burnt malt like most porters... more like toasted malt. What I like a lot about this one is the mouthfeel- nice and round, silky smooth going down... Very little aftertaste though.
