jcwattsrugger (3793), Florida and, New Jersey, USA Aug 20, 2008 #458 11/07 @Richmond/Williamsburg Gathering-33 cl bottle-pours with no head and black color. Aroma is dark malt-roasty, slight vegetal, dark fruit. Taste is vinuous, dark malt-roasty, slight vegetal, dark fruit, some salt/acidic. Thanks dkachur/Dan for sharing. DA (2376), Portland, Oregon City, Oregon, USA Aug 13, 2008 RBSG 2008. Pours dark brown with a soft tan head that fades fast. Very smoky and earthy, heavy burnt flavors give an impression of BBQ’d steak, some charred hefty concoction. Finish has a touch of saltiness, that when mixed with the charred flavors brings out a touch of soy sauce. Immy (1547), Virginia Beach, Virginia, USA Aug 11, 2008 Richmond Summer Gathering. Bottled 1NOV07, #458, courtesy of dkachur. Black with no head. Mild nose, roasty malt, chocolate, raisin, a whiff of smoke. Excellent body - slick and satiny. Slightly burnt malt flavors, chocolate and a touch of licorice. Just a bit of saltiness in there somewhere. Excellent! The_Beer_God (2827), Newport News, Virginia, USA Aug 9, 2008 Bottle at the Williamsburg Gathering courtesy of dkachur. Labeled #458. Near black dark brown pour. Absolutely no head on this except a larger bubble or two. Nose is soy sauce, roasted malts, salt, dark chocolate and cocoa. Taste is salty and soy sauce-like with more roasted malts, slight burnt coffee and light dark fruit. Body is near flat but has a nice slickness and is velvety smooth going down. Ends with hops and licorice, soft chocolate, soy sauce, and some odd herbalness. A unique Baltic porter! dkachur (723), Charlottesville, Virginia, USA Aug 7, 2008 Bottle #458 courtesy of bierkoning. Thanks Edo! Shared at the 2008 Richmond Summer Gathering in Williamsburg. Bottled 11/11/07. Very dark brown pour with a small head. Roasty aroma with notes of alcohol, soy and subtle hops. Taste of chocolate, soy and smoke. Very sticky texture.
