Mar 25, 2008 bottle, thank you MoritzF! Clear dark brown colour, medium-size head. Intensive malty aroma. Full-bodied, intensive malty flavours dominate, hints of dark chocolate and caramel, roasted malt as well. Oily, tastes almost like liquid chocolate with a touch of booze.

Feb 24, 2008 courtesy of Laurent Mousson; labelled Lausitzer Strong Porter -clear dark brown colour, little beige foam; slightly toasted, aroma of caramel and not much more; good malt body, very sweet; late bitterness and quite dry; notes of alcohol and ashes in the finish - simplistic

Jan 20, 2008 (33cl bottle) Clear, dark brown colour with a reddish shine and a big, light-beige foamy head. Slightly sweet roast-malty and subtle fruity (plums) nose with strong notes of alcohol. Moderately bitter and slightly sweet flavour, quite slim body impression although it has 7.5% abv; soft carbonation. Roasty malty, bread-crusty taste; short, slightly bitter finish with an alcoholic burn at the very end. Mediocre.

Dec 29, 2007 (Bottle 33 cl) Courtesy of MoritzF. Clear, dark brown with a warm tint of red and a small, beige head. Aroma of roasted malt and alcohol. Medium body with sweetish, roasted malt and a very biting alcohol feel. Very subdued bitterness. A disappointing and simple brew. I have a sneaking suspicion that this is bottom fermented and hence really a Baltic Porter. 271207
