The flavor is black patent malts, fresh ground coffee that never got brewed, bitter black chocolate, English walnuts, very balanced with some nice hops. The aroma is bittersweet dark chocolate/black patent malts. Some nutty walnuts. The palate is fairly well balanced with bitter, nutty, oily, and dry components. A nice Baltic porter. ross (1709), weddington, South Carolina, USA Sep 20, 2008 Bottle from Sean. He bought this one for me when he was in PA, and despite ass raping me with his mark up + PA markup, I was such a nice guy I figured I would share it with him. Pours out black with a small tan head. Smell is rich, malty, chocolate, coffee, and sweetness - no alcohol at all is present in this one. Taste sweet and rich, very smooth, easy to drink, high carbonation - yet not overwhelming. A great beer from a brewery that doesnt get much recognition (which is fine with me - more for me). Thanks Sean. Glad I drank 21.75 oz and you got the other .25 for your rating. illinismitty (1790), Nashville, Tennessee, USA Sep 19, 2008 2008 Bottle shared by Ross. Nice bold fruity nose. Pours dark brown with a retentive light brown head. Medium bodied with a smooth creamy texture. Flavor of sweet dark chocolate, milk, and dried coffee grounds. Smooth, lagery, and dusty finish. Simple but solid, and an authentic Baltic to boot. plovmand (1588), Helsinge, Denmark Sep 14, 2008 Bottle. Courtesy of Missdolle. Pithc black in colour with a medium beige head. Lots of roasted malts in aroma with notes of coffee and chocolate. Smooth bodied. Flavour contains a great roastyness that together with the chocolate, coffee and smoky notes makes this a great beer indeed!
