Oct 25, 2009 Bottle via trade from ben4321. Thanks, Ben, this beer was awesome. Pours black with a thick tan head and good retention. Aroma is chocolate, coffee, roast, smoke, and dark fruit. Flavor is smoky with some meaty notes (which is a good thing IMO). Also roasted malt, coffee, rich chocolate, berries, and raisins. Palate is smooth and creamy with fairly full body and lingering smoke. Really good Baltic porter overall.

Sep 12, 2009 22 oz bottle. Pours a pitch black, thick color, solid thick dark tan head. Aroma is malts, chocolate, notes of dried fruits. Flavor is pretty phenomenal - creamy coffee and chocolate notes, full bodied. Alcohol is slightly present, but not overwhelming. A nice beer to let warm which allows additional flavors and aromas to be released.

Apr 26, 2008 Bottle. Dark brown pour, some tan head. Aroma is some sweet malt, meat, smoke, chocolate, and roasted malt. The flavor is similar, sweet chocolate malt, and some light smoke / meaty flavor in the back and finish. The carbonation was a bit too high though.

Jul 31, 2008 Poured almost a black color with a tan head. Aroma was very boozy, and kind of dry, but with some hints of sweet chocolate. Flavor was much the same, very roasted like most baltic porter, not too sweet, and a bit too boozy for only being 8.7%.
