750 courtesy of Glouglouburp. Pours dark brown with a thin off white head. Smells of roasted malt, a touch of cherries, burned molasses, some dark licorice. Tastes sweet and malty with some nice chocolatey hints and some tartness on the finish.

Thanks to bitbucket tasting. Mild coffee. Really smooth. A little soy and black licorice. Nice roast. Manages to be both rich and smooth at this ABV; well done.

750 ml bottle @ liquid sunshine tasting - thanks to after4ever for this gem; easily one of my favs from the night; dark brown, flat tan head; aromas of rich chocolate; smooth, roasty and rich, nothing off putting in any way as many baltics can be in that stale sense; thick, rich body; tons of chocolate; wow, just a kick ass baltic a not like any i’ve had before except for perhaps the one from cascade; very rich and just a delight; thanks tom!!
