Aroma of sweet malt, chocolate, roasted coffee, raisins, black licorice and dark fruit. It also has a peculiar nuttiness to it. Taste is chocolate, roasted coffee, dark fruit, black licorice and some berry flavors. Mouthfeel is peculiar with an almost acrid taste, however it?s well played out with regard to the roasted flavors and fruit notes. Theis (3765), Denmark

Spare+ lacing. Aroma is sweet, with dark roasted malts, milky chocolate and molasses. Full body, creamy mocha texture. Taste is mostly sweet with touch of bitterness. World class. Thanks, Trip.

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Jan 10, 2007 Thick black with a dark tan head. Aromas of powdered cocoa, roasted malt, some subtle hops. Mouthfeel is excellent - thick, silky, and not overly carbonated. A bitter roastiness begins the taste with chocolate coming in. Finish is roasty but smooth. Alcohol well-hidden. Not a Baltic like Zyweic or Koff, more akin to the Gonzo IP, but it’s still a fantastic beer. SpringsLicker (2043), Tennessee, USA

Opaque black pour that produces a huge, medium tan head.
Dark choclate and coffee dominate the aroma. Lots of roast malt.
Well balanced flavor that is divided between the sweet malts and the bitterness from the roasted malts.
Full bodied and satisfying. hellomynameis (794), Mayer, Minnesota, USA
| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Jan 7, 2007 Black in colour with a big old brown head on top of it. The head disappeared after about 10 minutes. Sure smells like a baltic porter, chocolate and fruit with some vanilla and roast. Nice thick mouthfeel with good soft carbonation. The flavour is of dried fruits and pure dark chocolate lending itself a bit of a sweetness and some roasted flavour in the end. brewblackhole (1384), Muskego, Wisconsin, USA

Rich deep malt dark chocolate,some roastedness and a touch or fruit in this very pleasing aroma, smooth as silk, cocoa liquer malt with a touch of anise vanilla and carmel and roastedness, a tad bitter and alcoholy in finish,not a baltic by any means but an extremely pleasant surprise
