Sep 25, 2009 Picked this one up at Knightly. I’m originally from New Hampshire and I’m glad we now get Smutty here in Florida. The aroma shows coffee, molasses, raisins and cardboard boxes. Pours very deep dark brown that is nearly black with a thin to moderate sized foam head. Flavors are a bit roasty but also soft and creamy with strong raisin, milk chocolate, dates, coffee and marshmellow. Silky smooth, I really like how this drinks. A touch of alcohol is there that just warms this up a bit. A strong offering.

Sep 23, 2009 Bottle thanks to Cletus!
Very dark brown, small tan head that disappears quickly. Light nose of cocoa, raisin, cognac, and plum. More cocoa in the flavor, also light coffee and a tinge of alcohol. Lightly thin body pairing with the cognac notes in the nose. It’s baltic porter goodness, but it doesn’t feel fully developed.

Sep 21, 2009 So solid. Had this guy on tap at Rattle and Hum during Craft Beer Week. Pours pitch dark with a soft off-white head. Smells of roasted malts and coffee. Taste: delicious, rich, sweet yet somewhat bitter. Quite smooth and full.

Sep 20, 2009 bottle, from Julio’s. Good aroma, sweet and bitter. Chocolate, coffee, I’m getting marshmellow. Blackish brown color, good head, ok lace. Bitter sweet flavor. Like aroma. Thick body, oily creamy mouthfeel, though I thought it got liter as it warmed, bitter dry finish. Tasty brew, flavor was favorite part. stayed constant through out it’s consuming. Nice mix on the bitterness and sweetness.

Sep 19, 2009 22oz bottle. Silky black pour with a thin head of dark tan cream. Dark chocolate aroma, but not a lot of roast. I like what I’m smelling. I think baltic porters should be more on the chocolate side than burnt roast. There is only the slightest amount of dark fruit or vinous flavors, but those that are there are welcome. This is an extremely well-put-together beer. I like it.

Sep 18, 2009 2009 Bottle - Thanks JCB! - Pours is a vicsous dk brown with a brown head...aroma is chocolate covered cherry, sweet dark malt, and some tart roast...flavour is similar, cocoa, burnt coffee, a fine malty line that is ultimately sweet, but tempered with the bitterness of the coffee...ample carbonation and a lingering roast flavour in the mouth...I wish this was carried locally...
