Near black in colour with medium-to-high carbonation. Aromas of lightly roasted malts, caramel, and a bit of molasses. Malt forward in the mouth (as expected), but with a surprising amount of caramel. A touch of fruit and toffee as well, along with some black chocolate. The snappy finish makes for a fairly drinkable pint. Pretty good.

Pours deep black with tan head with good density. Aromas of coffee, malt, fruit and chocolate. Flavors are similar with roasted malt, strong coffee, slightly smokey with a bitter finish. Thin mouthfeel with a little bite on the back of the tongue. Overall it is a tasty brew with good malt and hop balance. Coffee aftertaste hangs around a little long though.

Dark brown, almost black in colour with a tan head. Vinous, slightly spicy aroma with some chocolate. Slightly sour taste with chocolate and raisins. Excellent.

Deep, dark black color with an excellently fluffy light brown head.  Tamed Roasted malt aroma, roasted malt flavor.  A standard, traditional Baltic style porter.  No lasting aftertaste other than a light roast.  A little bitter for a porter and not as sweet as most. Can’t go wrong with this pick.

Pours dark brown black with a nice beige head. Nose has quite a bit of dark fruit could be mistaken for a belgian. Palate follows suite, with caramel malt, more dark fruit and the slightest hint of choc/coffee dark malt. Also a bit of licorice. Certainly worlds away from others of the style: zywiec, okocim etc but still quite enjoyable. Can’t shake the Belgian-esque feeling though.

I got some bottles in Liège (Belgium) wich were very cheep (1€). So I didn’t expect to drink a so nice black beer as this one.

Bottle. Pitch black. Tall, fine, thick head. Not a strong aroma. Roasted malt, maybe a bit sweet but seems dry. Strong malt flavor. Very well roasted, very burnt. Quite sweet, with strong coffee taste. A bit too sweet for me, but loaded with flavor. Long-lasting burnt aftertaste, dry in the finish. Great malt taste.
