Almost black in colour, with dense pale brown head. Rich chocolatey nose with mint and more hoppy than the old style Baltic Porter. Clean flavour profile, with apparent low levels of residual sugars. Bit like Gonzo, with a mish mash of darker malt flavours, that is not really any outspoken toasty or chocolatey flavours, just dark. An elegant and "modern" Baltic Porter that’s just very tasty. Low bitterness. Miksu (2241), Jyväskylä, Finland

Thick roasty aroma with charcoal, diesel oil, leather and apple. Firmly roasty flavor with charcoal, licorice, chocolate and leather. I found the diesel and apple aroma disturbing.
