From the 500ml bottle, the beer pours an opaque brown, the head modest and creamy tan, as it evaporates, the lacing provides a concealing curtain to drape the glass. Nose has a sweet malt aroma, molasses, caramel, and a touch of earthiness, with the roasted grain present. Start is rich in sweet malt, a bit of bitterness at the back; touch of bitterness, top is rich and full in feel to the palate. Finish has a benignant acidity, the hops understated but noticeable, quite dry and sweet until the end.

Oct 8, 2008 EBF2008. It’s pitch black with a creamy head. The aroma has notes of roasted malt, caramel and chocolate. The flavour has sweetness and notes of roasted malt, licorice, chocolate, raisin, plum and syrup. It’s a pleasant, smooth and nice baltic porter.

Oct 1, 2008 My drink no.13 at European Beer Festival, Copenhagen 08. This one was provided by the Danish Beerhouse stand/bar. Mahogany appearance with a tiny, beige head. Caramelised malty aroma. Rich in taste with decent amounts of chocolate, nuts and plums. Bittersweet ending. Quite dry, almost woody, in the mouth (12.09.2008).

Sep 21, 2008 Bottle, bought @ Vinens Verden, Odense.<br />
Deep brown with an impressive, creamy, light-beige head. Stunning duration with a steady creamy top. Mild, smooth aroma, good chocolate, some light nuttiness and light coffee. Medium carbonation, fine mouthfeel. Flavour is nice and sweet, good milky chocolate and hazel nuts. A long, liquorice, lingering finish.
