Nov 19, 2009 The Dan Journal #297. Tasted 9/14/09. Growler purchased from the brewpub 9/13/09. Opaque with a dark pitch hue. Quickly dissipating off-white head. Aromas of cocoa dust, toffee, coffee, dark dried fruit and toast. Quite a complex nose. Medium to full bodied with a changing palate. Sweet inital malts then a good blast of carbonation. Finishes bitter with a lingering tingle. Quite good. Nice coffee astringency and toffee sweetness. Well done.

Dec 6, 2008 Sample at the brewpub. This beer pours black with a medium tan head that diminishes steadily. Rings of lacing on the glass. Roasty aroma of coffee and malt plus a bit of dark fruit. Medium, dry body with flavors of coffee and hops along with roasted malt in the background. The finish is malty with a cocoa and coffee aftertaste. Above average overall.

Mar 1, 2008 The first taste give you a nice strong kick. Heavy roast. But as you work your way through, the baltic aspect settles and you are left with a fairly traditional porter.

Jan 12, 2006 Draft: Deep chestnut. Dense light-beige head slowly dwindles. Charming nose of earthy roast, baker’s chocolate, vanilla, and black currants. Silky body with a light carbonic prickle. Vague grittiness initially bolsters the lush malt softness as a rich dose of chocolate-covered raisins quickly ensues. Beautifully restrained char gently brushes the roof of the mouth and lends a hint of dryness. Hint of nuttiness deepens the roast. Brisk cookie malt leanings emerge late, but the overall texture remains soft despite this, as a plum and vanilla nougat cushion underlies the deeply roasted malt hull finish. A superb lightweight Baltic.
