Czarny Boss Baltic Porter, in bottle at GBBF 2009. Looks great - black-brown with a brown head and a nice nose that gives black treacle, hints of port and smoke, a slight sourness. On the tongue there are raisin and burnt apple notes, but it is over-sweet, the finish too is cloying which detracts from the attractive smoky dryness.

bottle, traded with Wiking. Deep black colour, small but creamy beige head. Aroma of roasetd malts, caramel and coffee. Full-bodied, very smooth and velvety, full of intensive flavours of caramel, coffee, dark chocolate, cocoa powder, raisins and prunes. A very complex and delicious beer.

500ml bottle from GBBF. Deep reddy brown / black. Horlicks (milk & malt) and stollen cake then spicy raisin on the tongue. Great smooth and rich palate.
