thedm (3405), Fort Wayne, Indiana, USA Mar 21, 2005 This draft brew from the brewery poured a small sized head of fine to medium sized light brown colored frothy mostly lasting bubbles that left behind a dark ruby red brown colored semi-transparent body with no visible carbonation and a fair lacing. The aroma was very mild with subtle malty notes. The mouth feel was initially smooth with a mild tingle in a finish that contained a malty bite to it/ The flavor was sweet with roasty dark malty notes. hotstuff (3038), Indiana, USA Nov 27, 2004 Draft at Rich O’s in New Alban, IN. Small tan head, good lacing, opaque, and a dark brown hue. Malty, sweet, roasty aroma. Sweet, malty, smooth, and a little acidic. Smooth mouthfeel. barenada (211), Georgetown, Indiana, USA Jul 26, 2004 What a scary beer! It tastes very good, with no bitternes at all, and just the right amount of carbonation. The scary part is that it’s over 8% alcohol, and that’ll sneak up on you real quick if you’re not careful. muzzlehatch (4425), Burlington, Vermont, USA Jul 16, 2004 Sample at the brewpub. Dark brown, oildy. Grapy, roasty nose, quite malty and sweet. Very sugary intiial flavor, nicely smooth and silky throughout, bittersweet chocolate roastiness develops late. Very nice, though I guess I’m not loving it as much as most. CaptainCougar (4624), Rockville, Maryland, USA May 9, 2004 Pours a rich, oily blackish brown with a dense tan head. Aroma of sweet caramel and roasted malts with some molasses and dark fruits. Body starts rich and sugary sweet with good malty complexity and a nice balance of lager yeast. Very smooth, despite its viscosity, and it hides its alcohol quite well. An excellent baltic porter!
