May 2, 2007 Bottle generously shared by McBeer at Dark Lord Day. Baltic Porter aroma; somewhat sweet. Dark copper in color. Pretty decent. Drier than it smells. Malty. Not bad, not great.

May 2, 2007 While the nose is restrained, it contains roasted caramel/toffee malts, and chocolate notes. The flavors, chocolate, coffee, nuts, and toffee are pronounced. Tad thin-bodied, but overall a very nice brew.

Apr 30, 2007 Pouring a clear dark brown, this has a modest tan head. The aroma contains lightly roasted malt, chocolate, caramel, and soft nuts. Seemed a bit thin yet delivers a rich malty flavor balanced by a mildly bitter nuttiness. Pretty good. <font size=-4><a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/events-detail.asp?eve Lord Day 2007 at Three Floyds, Munster, IN, 4/28/2007.<font size=-1>

Apr 25, 2007 Bottle purchased at Vulcan Beverages, Birmingham, AL. Pours black with a small frothy light brown head, somewhat diminishing, fair lacing. Aroma is heavy malt (chocolate, coffee, cookie), light hops (herbs), average yeast (leather, dough) with notes of smoke and tar. Medium bodied, oily texture, soft carbonation and a metallic finish. Moderate sweetness, light acidity and bitterness; nice roasted chocolate and caramel malt flavor.

Apr 23, 2007 Not sure how this whole "organic" thing began....What is everyone else using...Plastic hops?
This is a nice dessert beer. VERY choclatey. Not bad, but certainly not Guinness. I’ll probably have it again. I’d sure like to try it on tap.....

Apr 16, 2007 drinking as i type...typical porter nose, malty, chocolate and caramel. taste is a bit like soy sauce. it starts sweet ends up hoppy and piney. tastes like liquified dry cocoa. nothing special but i could drink a lot of it.

Mar 26, 2007 This porter is lighter than most which easy to enjoy more than just one. Roasty, chocolaty in flavor and mahogany-brown in color this is a year round favorite.

Mar 18, 2007 (Bottle) Organic beer blind tasting at Brouwers’s in Seattle, March 3, 2007. Tan head. Enamel paint aroma and still cold coffee. Flavour is far better than the nose - gritty coffee and roasted malt. Very good.
