sersdf (916), chicago, Illinois, USA Jun 29, 2008 not thick looking. thin in fact. tons of yeast chunks. pretty small. thin head, but big bubbles. close to black. smells nothing like a porter. smells of metallic ale. hardly any flavor. tastes infected. sour as ****. there’s something wrong with this. Tyler appropriately pointed out it’s much loser to a cherry stout.
BrewDad (1803), Olympia, Washington, USA Dec 11, 2008 22oz Bottle – 99 Bottles – Federal Way, WA – A big Porter with a Baltic flavor. This beer had so much flavor it could have given to the next beer. Loved the finish on this beer. Great porter, chocolate flavors. riversideAK (1946), Shoreline, Washington, USA Oct 28, 2008 Dark brown/black pour with very thin to no head. The aroma is very roasted/burnt with some earthy bitterness and a touch of alcohol. Flavor is roasty, fruity, and bitter. Thinnish lager body. Somewhat clean finish for the amount of alcohol. Enjoyable on draught. robforbes (848), Bremerton, Washington, USA Sep 3, 2008 pours a jet black with a wisp of a tan head, some lacing.<br />
smell is a touch of cocoa, touch of coffee, some nuttiness.<br />
taste is carbonated, a little sour, cocoa, some vanilla, some licorice, a little roastiness, some coffee, finishes dry and slightly bitter and a little sweet. argo0 (6332), Washington DC, USA Aug 28, 2008 (22oz bottle, thanks CaptainCougar) Brown-black body, small beige head.

Basic chocolate and roasted malts in the aroma. Lively carbonation. Medium mouthfeel: citrus acidity, tart (definitely infected a bit), cocoa, and chocolate; lightly infected, messy, with plenty of milk chocolate throughout. Medium finish: chocolate, cocoa, and lightly tart with some lemony acidity.
