The appearance is dark brown with a tan head. The flavor is like the aroma but with a burnt rubber finish. The palate is thick. This isn’t low quality at all, I am just not a fan.

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jun 17, 2009 Just about black in color with a small/medium lasting light brown head. Roast, light smoke, some dry chocolate, molasses, and light spice in the aroma. A good amount of roasted malts, some molasses, and smoke in the taste. Solid malt backbone with some licorice hints. Bought this one on a whim and I am glad I did- a very solid strong porter. OSLO (826), Perth, Australia
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 15/20 | Jun 12, 2009 [Bottle, thanks Guerde!] Pours dark brown with a dark tan head. Aroma is mostly smoke and deeply roasted malt, with light milk chocolate, Taste has alcohol, smoke along with char, and anise. Good mouthfeel, incredibly long mouthfeel. A very solid beer that is bordering on too deeply roasted, but manages to pull it off. Guerde (705), Welcome, Minnesota, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jun 12, 2009 (bottle) Pours dark brown with a thin tan head that leaves a little lacing. Smells of smoked bacon, salt, wood, roasted malt, burnt graham cracker, and tart berry skin. Tastes of chocolate, light smoke, and salt, which is then signaled by a spike of roasted malt that rounds out to a nice and smoky finish which lingers very well. Warming reveals just a touch of dark fruits. Eventually after the smokiness subsides, a bit of bittersweet chocolate emerges upon exhalation on the finish. Mouthfeel is medium and carbonation is as well. An interesting take on a baltic porter.
