Toasty aroma at first lending to a malty sweetness of licorice and cocoa. Roasted flavor of dark malts brings thoughts of mocha coffee. Full body is ever so pleasant going down. This is yet another fantastic Scandinavian brew. airforce1 (61), Atascosa, Texas, USA

Aroma is very sweet with notes of dark frruit, malts, mollasses, and bitter sweet chocolate. The flavor on this beer has notes of brown sugar, plum, malts, coffee and semi sweet chocolate.

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jan 7, 2008 500 ml. bottle, from Holiday Wine Cellar in Escondido. Pours ebony and opaque with a thin brown head that diminishes rapidly. Aroma is roasty and floral, with notes of bitter chocolate, brown sugar, ash, alcohol and herbs. Flavor is delicious, with a nice interplay between the sweet, bitter and ever so slightly sour notes of the malts, roasty with dark chocolate, prune juice, coffee, floral hops and alcohol barely detectable in the finish. Medium to full body and light carbonation. Quite porter-licious! hellbilly (1532), scottsdale über alles, Arizona, USA
| 4.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 19/20 | Jan 6, 2008 !muchas gracias! if you’ve sent me one of these!!!! viscous pour is nearly black and topped by a fluffy purple cappuccino colored head. aroma is very baltic like...brown sugar/molasses, cocoa, wood, charcoal, dried fruit (cherries,blueberries and raisins) and a bit of alcohol sting. flavor is packed with everything you’d want in a baltic as well... super roasted almost ashy malt, dark dried fruits, chocolate, licorice, light molasses sweetness and soy. coffee even pokes it’s head in the aftertaste. the finish is lightly acidic. full bodied. the mouth feel is past creamy (if that’s possible)... very ’tight’ carbonation when its sloshed makes it seem if it is non existent. ya’ll can keep sending me these ;-)... performula (147), Triangle Area, North Carolina, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jan 6, 2008 Not bad. Expected a little more kick from its rating. Chocolate scent with a malty aroma as well. Beer is good but has an odd metallic/fish taste. So the finish is pleasant until the taste creeps up.
