(Bottle) Bottle came courtesy of Lubiere. Pours a god-sized, frothy, brown head. Amen! A body of an African sun-worshipper. Amen! And a nose of such distinction. Amen! The whiskey-barrels and coffee grinders worked this recipe down. Down. Down. The grit… oh Lord, the grittiness and scant scent of alcohol convicted this boy before trial. Because if… if one was to sample, they would know that the body, the heart, the soul was sold to Satan. Molasses stained dress, whiskey for breath, and bitter repress. Bless this soul. Bless this soul. Bless this soul! Amen.

Sep 6, 2008 This was like the love child of an IPA and a stout. Lots of nice chocolate and coffee tones on this beer, but then this unexpected but not unpleasant hop kick. Was surprised at the hops but ultimately I’m not sure if they helped or hindered. Might have to revisit.

Sep 6, 2008 Draft. Dark brown pour with a frothy off-white head. Coffee on the nose, malty and a bit fruity in taste. Delicious beer.

Sep 5, 2008 Pours a thick deep dark brown. The nose is a strong coffee with subtle chocolate notes. Comes across the palate very similar; but it has a very faint chocolate undertones.

Aug 30, 2008 Bottle BBE 20.08.09. Pours black with medium, dark brown head. Medicinal phenolic aroma. Some tropical fruits, like pineappe and mango as well as strawberries. Light lemon and grapefruit, with yeasty toasted, roasted malt. Egg nogg with lemon peel. Medium to light body. Slightly phenolic. Soft bitterness and some sweetness. Just a hint of sourness and soft roastiness.

Aug 30, 2008 From an 07 bottle, opened without fanfare, but the head grew anyway. Poured black with a mocha one finger head. Aroma is very malty with smoky/burnt and woodlike smell. Taste is intense, then goes right into bitter chocolate smoked flavor. Aftertaste is a little bitter/dry. Overall, a good representation of a baltic porter.
