Solid porter of the baltic style. This is a style that should be exploited more. Its a porter that hits you hard with its notes of chocolate and smoke. Dark and delicious...just like I love my men.

Aug 31, 2008 Bottle from PilsnerPeter, thanks man! Poured a deep brown/black color with a moderate off-white head that faded to a ring. Aroma of chocolate, some dark fruit, caramel, some light coffee, and roast. Moderately sweet chocolate malt entry with some light hints of dark fruit (plum, dark grape, and raisin), molasses and roast, finishing with some moderate yeast. Smooth and creamy, light carbonation.

Aug 23, 2008 black under a small creamy brown head. aroma of molasses, chocolate, and dough. a medium bodied beer with a smooth creamy palate. flavors of chocolate, molasses, light hops, hints of dark fruit(raisin, plum). not a sweet beer nor is it the big, dark, full, robust baltic i expected. i feel like i’m missing something.

Aug 20, 2008 22-oz. bottle received via trade with yobdoog. Pours black with an average, frothy, light brown head, somewhat lasting with fair lacing. Aroma is heavy malt (cookie, molasses, chocolate), light hops (herbs), average yeast (dough, leather) with notes of prune and tar. Full bodied, sticky texture, average carbonation, and a bitter finish. Long duration, light sweetness, moderate acidity and bitterness.

Aug 12, 2008 22 oz bomber, very little head develops even with an aggressive pour. Aroma contains overripe and dried dark fruits (but not nearly as much as you might find in a doppelbock or dunkel weiss), dark caramel, slight roast, humid wood. Taste is mild roastiness, slight astringent twang, hazlenut chocolate bar. Flavors fall away to leave the hop backbone that was present all along. Nice beer, not huge but still big, balanced. Could use just a bit more fine bubbled carbonation to create a creamier mouthfeel.
