Mar 4, 2009 Bottled.
Dark brown colour with solid head. Aroma is dominated by smoked sausage, there is also a hint of chocolate. The beer offers a big maltiness, in good companion with a solid, chewy carbonation. There’s the customary residual sweetness that might tone down the smoke in flavour, but it is there and nicely so. Good maltiness in flavour. It seems to be a bit more bitter than the average Baltic Porters. Smoke is solidly nice in the finish. Clean and flawless beer, and one of the best beers I’ve had from this brewery.

Mar 1, 2009 Bottle and draft at Capones. Poured a nice black body with good size head. aroma is smoke meats, chocolate and burnt hair. Flavor is chocolate, peaty, smoked meats. The flavor at first can be a little too aggressive but smooths out very well in the end. Nice cocoa finish to it.

Feb 26, 2009 750ml bottle, 2006 vintage. Pours dark brown with a moderate tan head. Nose is a powerful and inviting blend of meaty and campfire smoke; very nice. Flavor is more hearty smoke, with some light chocolate and coffee. This one is not shy about being all about the smoke, and that seems to work just fine. Good stuff, but you better be in the mood for a lot of smoke; this ended up being a great choice for a cooler rainy evening.

Feb 25, 2009 Below average smoked porter. Soy sauce is prevalent in taste and smell. I much prefer stone and east ends offerings.
