May 26, 2009 Dark brown with creamy light brown head. Lots of chocolate and dark fruit. A little licorice. Unique yeast flavors for a porter. Enjoyable, with quite a bit of hops/bittereness. Nice.

May 19, 2009 Bomber, many thanks to whoever sent this my way! Poured rather clear deep brown with a fine, well-retained cap of tan head. The aroma opened and maintained an almost brandy and oaky sourness that threw me off a bit (this isn’t barrel-aged, is it?).. rich, well-roasted dark chocolate and coffee beneath.. earth and more coffee grounds rounded it out.. not what I expected, but it certainly grew on me. The flavor had dark chocolate, coffee, and brewer’s licorice at the core with earth, oak, and brandy accents.. the bitterness came mostly from earth and coffee.. finished with more of the sourness and some roasted black malts. Creamy, full carbonation on the palate with less sourness than the nose hinted at.. spicy, dry, and well-roasted beyond that.. balance was alright, with the carbonation probably getting it an extra 0.1 here. Interesting beer.. can’t tell if it’s in the early stages of an infection or if that character was intentional.

May 18, 2009 Tap at Stone Bistro.
Wow, either this was the intended taste and aroma, and that’s just an amazing Baltic porter or I got poured the wrong beer.
Pours black, mocha head.
Aroma was just funky, with a sour nose.
Taste,. sour and not anything I would have expected in a Baltic, but it just made the flavor outstanding.
Dark fruits, some wood notes, malts and chocolate, some yeasty presence, toffee. I was getting a lot of brett / sourness.

May 5, 2009 22ox bomber courtesy of KingG, thanks for the trade! This thing poured fine but a massive head erupted in the glass and refuses to die! As you can guess, the color is solid black with a HUGE tan head. Very strong malty-grainy smell emanating from my glass. Not coffee-like but close. Very rich and decadent flavors of malty goodness. Maybe a hint of cacao in the finish. The alcohol is not present to the taste but I’m sure I will feel it soon. The drinkability is just ok mostly because of how rich the beer is. This is a fine baltic porter.
