May 15, 2008 On tap at Flossmoor Station and served in a shaker. This beer poured a deep, dark brown with a thin head of tan foam that quickly settled into a lasting ring. A small amount of lace coated the inside of the glass. The aroma of the beer was made up of mild bittersweet chocolate, dark fruits, and a touch of earthy yeast esthers. The flavor included a smooth roasted note, dark fruits, chocolate, and a hint of alcohol warmth at the finish. The mouthfeel was full-bodied with mild carbonation. A nicely crafted Baltic porter.

May 3, 2008 Growler shared by crizay. Thanks! Pour is mahogany and suprisingly still had a good head after almost a week in the growler. Aroma is bigtime chocolate and roasty malts. Flavor follows through with big, roasty chocolate and fruity sweetness. Palate is just a tad thin, but this is very tasty.

May 1, 2008 Pours dark brown and slightly reddish. Smell is chocolatey roastiness. Taste is mild roasty and nicely hoppy. Dark, dry chalky flavor too. Pretty decent roast flavor, but a tad thin again. Didn’t strike me as what I thought a baltic porter would be like, but certainly wasn’t bad.

Apr 25, 2008 On tap at the brewpub. Pours black with garnet highlights and a creamy mocha head that reduces to an oily surface. The nose is of dark roast, chocolate cake, dark fruit and a light ashiness. Full-bodied and oily with a roasted, lightly bitter finish. Dark roasted malt blends with notes of dark fruit and chocolate ending roasty and lightly dry. This is a tasty brew.
