Sep 3, 2009 Bottle. Clear brown, light tan head, doesn’t last long. Nose: toffee malts (munich?), cake/fudge/chocolate, light oxidation, light mineral/metal note, but overall the nose is rich, toffee-centered and inviting. Body is medium to light, dissolves in the finish. More of the minerally/metallic character shows up, still chewy, slightly sweet, little bit of roast at play. Close to being really delicious.

Mar 29, 2009 22 oz. bottle. Pours a very dark, almost black color with a thin tan head that quickly recedes to a small ring around the perimeter of the glass. Held up to a strong light, a dark ruby hue is exposed. The aroma is heavy on coffee, mocha, and roasted malt. Hints of vanilla and dark fruit are hidden in the background. The palate is dark roast coffee, chocolate, and heavily toasted malt. A delicious coffee flavor persists on the tongue, along with a slight bitterness on the back of the throat. This is a well done Baltic Porter - easy to drink and very enjoyable.

Mar 21, 2009 Bottle, thanks to WeeHeavySD for sharing! Pours a deep dark reddish-brown with an off-white ring. Rich sharp aroma, of burnt malt, coffee and chocolate. Taste is big and sharp, of burnt toasted malt and chocolate. Lingering burnt notes. Very nice.
