Nov 28, 2009 A fabulous aroma of malt, coffee, and an alcohol warmth. The first sips are good, rich and roasty, but it gets a bit syrupy with a kind of grainy body to it.

Nov 22, 2009 Nice coffee aroma. The flavor is a bit similar; slightly stale coffee with hints of licorice and a dry coffee finish.

Nov 17, 2009 Bottle thanks to daknole: Pours a transparent dark mahogany with a thin, froth of off-white head. Has a lightly sweet toasty dark caramel nose with some dark fruitiness. Starts with average fullness and a toasty caramel and milk chocolate sweetness before a mild, bittersweet finish. Could use more body and sweetness, but still a pretty enjoyable brew.

Nov 14, 2009 Dark brown with a 2 cm pale beige head that settles rather fast. Some lacings.
Quite a lot of butterscotch in the nose. Some fudge. Malts and dark fruits. Notes of coffee. A decent smell with quite a round character. But the butterscotch seems a little out of place.
The taste is mostly smooth dark malts with notes of rye bread and chocolate. The finish is kind of short and has a minimal bitterness to it with notes of nuts and a gentle spicy hop bite. Some alcohol. The taste is overall quite uninteresting and one-sided, but nothing is really off.
Medium body, too much carbonation and an almost watery texture.
An okay beer. Nothing I will remember for the rest of my life, but still decent. But decent is not really enough for a Baltic/Imperial porter - there are so many better beers of this style out there.
