Oct 21, 2008 GABF 08: Dark burnt sienna with tan halo. Roasty nose with tobacco and grains galore. Thick mouthfeel but also wet. Roasty, almost smoky flavors are caressed by a little bitterness in the finish. Average among the decent.

Oct 19, 2008 On tap @ FFF. I actually liked it more than FFF’s Baltic Porter they had on tap. Pours brown with a thin tan head. Nice coffee and chocolate aroma and flavor. Good stuff.

Oct 15, 2008 Updated: May 1, 2009Sample, on tap at FFF Brewpub. Pours black...very black. Coffee and choc. aroma. EXCELLENT roasted coffee and dark choc. taste. Very rich; slight alcohol taste comes through, but flavor balances it nicely. Wonderful.

Oct 15, 2008 Pour is a black with a small tan head. Aroma is a small chocolate followed by a strong burning. Flavor is roasted with some peat smoke and coffee. Tasty but not really a style i like.

Jul 6, 2008 Growler from Flossmoor. Pour was into a Ubiquitous Red Cup (tm HCwDB), so didn’t get to fully enjoy the dark mahogany color or the sturdy cream-colored head as I did at the brewpub last week. Coffee and dark chocolate aromas. Flavor follows the nose, and adds substantial molasses sweetness and a faint alcohol burn in the finish. Last week’s draft had much more roasty character than was found in the growler, but that was likely a serving temperature issue. As much as I love this complex, hearty beer, it probably wasn’t the ideal brew for a hot July 4th weekend.

Jun 10, 2008 Black with a beige head that has no lacing and very little retention. Smell is of coffee, burnt grain, dark fruits and some booze. Taste was roasty, with some toffee, alcohol, and bitter chocolate. An interesting beer, but not my favorite Baltic Porter. A little less than medium carbonation and medium bodied. I’d love to drink this guy again next time I’m near Flossmoor.
