BeerGestapo (320), Windsor, Pennsylvania, USA Sep 5, 2008 (Finland) Pours a nice black color with zero head. The aroma is of roasted malts, chocolate, vanilla, and caramel. Taste of chocolate big time,with caramel, and malts. The mouthfeel is very smooth and ends with a slight bitterness. This porter is well balanced and is recommended. :) carl4beer (272), Fairfax Station, Virginia, USA Sep 5, 2008 33cl. pours black with a nice creamy looking tan head. aroma is roasted malt cocoa and a hint of vanilla. mouthful is dark bitter chocolate, some coffee, with a lingering bitter finish. very nice robust baltic porter. michael-pollack (1391), King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, USA Aug 23, 2008 330ml Bottle: Aroma of chocolate, smoke, and burnt malts. Poured black in color with a medium to large-sized, dense, rocky, creamy brown head that lasted throughout. Opaque. Excellent lacing. Lightly sweet flavor. Tastes of chocolate, malts, slight soy sauce, sour milk, cream, roasting, a tad of vanilla, and a hint of bitter hops. Medium to full body. Thick, creamy, slightly dry texture. Soft carbonation. Malty, chocolate finish is a bit dry.
RollinHard (533), Fort Worth, Texas, USA Aug 23, 2008 Thank you, mcbackus! Pours black with a fairly large brown head, lasting ring of foam. Aroma of dark chocolate, chocolate milk, almonds, vanilla, coffee-astringency, toast, just really really nice overall. Tastes similar with dark chocolate, dark rye toast, nuts, coffee, wood and finishes slightly astringent at first. Thankfully the finish evolves into this really nice bitter toasted almond flavor. Really nice aftertaste effectively counters any astringent elements. Medium bodied, but the creaminess makes this feel substantial and the carbonation is also moderate. Quite good! daknole (697), Plantation, Florida, USA Aug 22, 2008 Bottle. Pretty much a total black pour wtih a pretty big head. Aroma of delicious toastiness and coffee. I smell some vanilla and wood as well. Taste is fruity and malty as hell with a predictable flavor of chcolate. Good beer indeed.
