Mar 29, 2008 This Porter was recommended by the bartender at Capital Ale House. It was super. Deep black clor with a brownish head. The head dissapated. It is a bold porter rasins and coffee flavors.

Mar 23, 2008 long lasting caramel colored head- solid lacing on glass. aroma holds hops, malt, and slight coffee, dark chocolate, and a hint of raisins. taste expounds this, amplifying the espresso and bitter chocolate. nice mouthfeel with a good aftertaste. also ate with chocolate, very delicious.

Mar 23, 2008 Updated: Aug 4, 2009Pours motor oil black with large tan head that dissapates into a veneer. Nose of roasted barley, bitter chocolate, coffee, raisin, and hops. Upon first sip, I realized that this is one of the smoothest porters I’ve ever tasted. Oily and thick, caressing the tounge and mouth. Chewy and full bodied- this beer has so much character. Chocolate, deep roasted barley, and hops all fuse together in the perfect balance to create a true masterpiece.

Mar 23, 2008 Bottle. Pours dark black with a brown head and good lacing. Aroma of roasted coffee, chocolate, roast, and some notes of dark fruit. flavor is creamy and smooth with roasted malts, chocolate, coffee, dark fruit, raisins, and a hint of smoke medium bodied with a slightly dry finish. An awesome baltic porter

Mar 22, 2008 Very dark brown with thick dark brown head. Chocolatey, coffeeish nose with a slight (and rather unfortunate) phenolic note. Hot, with a harsh astringent coffee bean note. Unbalanced - not enough residual sugar. More of an impy, and a crap one at that. For one of my favourite breweries and coolest beer styles, this is a huge disappointment.

Mar 22, 2008 Yikes, what a great beer! On draft and very impressvie. Burnt motor oil pour with immmediate chocolate and coffee notes boomy out above a tastey thick beige head. Cocolate and slight fruit taste with a warm and wonderful mouthfeel. Yes, there is alcohol (might be only drawback on a warm spring day), but it suits the malt quite well.

Mar 21, 2008 22OZ bottle. Pours dark brown almost black with ruby highlights around the edge of the glass. Head is 1 finger with tight micro bubbles. Lots of carbonation in this. Smell is chocolate, coffee, dark fruit, raison, oatmeal and sweet candy sugar. Taste is same with a hint of alcohol and light hop bite. Light smokey after taste. Carbonation is a little to high and mouthfeel suffers. Tasty but needs some age to round it out.
