| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Apr 17, 2009 Cask and handpump at the Plough & Harrow in Hammersmith. Black-brown with beige head, lots of liquorice on the nose and palate, sharp bitter finish, but the body is oddly dry and slightly salty - echoes of salt lakrids! A bit thinner than I expected and dry rather than creamy. Reminds me of a beery Black Pig or North Sea Oil... rosenbergh (933), Helsinki, Finland

Dark brown colour with big fluffy tan head.
Roasted malts, dark chocolate and dried fruits in aroma. Rich flavour is roasted malts, coffee. Very dry and warming (without taste of alcohol). Excellent. esjaygee (1545), Oak Creek, Wisconsin, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Apr 12, 2009 Brown with ruby lowlights and a large tan creamy head that slowly disappears and leaves some spotty lacing in its wake. Aroma of chocolate, molasses, raison, cocoa, roasted and dark malts. Taste of chocolate, roasted malt, cocoa, molasses and raison. Beer has a nice full mouth feel but finishes up coating the tongue with a residue that reminds me of artificial sweetener, not so pleasant. There’s some warming on the back end. nuplastikk (1206), Madison, Wisconsin, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Apr 8, 2009 Full pint pour, draft at Birreria Paradiso in DC. Opaque black-brown with a tan orange head. Sweet and malty, sort of middle of the road. Sugary with touch of roastiness, it’s not unlike other standard Baltic Porters. thejon375 (392), Tampa, Florida, USA
