Ungstrup (14723), Frederiksberg, Denmark Jun 16, 2005 [Listed as Old Bourbon Porter at GABF 2004] A red-brown beer with a disappearing orange head. The aroma is sweet malty with hints of bourbon, and so is the flavor, though the alcohol mixes in with a slight burn. dirtymike (2018), Manchester, New Hampshire, USA Mar 29, 2005 GABF 2004 Brown in color with ruby highlights and a small off-white head. Aroma of bourbon,roasted malt,oak and cherries. Oak flavor, malty with a sweet finish. mj (4971), Colorado, USA Oct 11, 2004 Listed as Old Bourbon Porter @ GABF 2004 - Good solid bourbon and wood aroma, buttery, with less stout and porter characteristics than expected. Wood flavor dominates with an artificial and candy-like bourbon or scotch flavor... too sweet and cloying in the finish. DaSilky1 (1924), San Diego, California, USA Jun 19, 2004 brownish color with a big bubbled halo. Sweet caramelly hazelnut aroma with notes of sticky fudge brownie. Chalky and astringent nuttiness, followed by a mouthful of peanut skins, and a touch of bitterness...harsh grains here and over cooked hops, but not really as bad as I’m making it out to be. Vac (2389), San Diego, California, USA Jun 14, 2004 This baltic porter pours with a dark brown body topped by a medium thick head with some lacing. The aroma is slightly sweet yet slightly sour with a slight roasty note and some malt. A slight vinegar note was noticed in one sample. The flavor is slightly sweet, malty and caramelly with some bitter notes and a touch of vanilla. Medium to full bodied and smooth.
