May 17, 2005 Sampled with the last 5 guys who rated this at heavyweight. Nice deep dark brown with mahogany highlights. Aroma is chocolate, a bit of coffee, caramel, and a bit of roast. Flavor is very rich and smooth with lots of sweet malts including munich, chocolate and crystal. Some nutty hints as well. Good smooth robust and complex beer. Nice smooth finish.

May 12, 2005 05.07.05 Thanks to MaiBockAddict for bringing this 1L swingtop in my vicinity not once, but twice. Dry and bitter for a baltic. Plenty roasty, creamy, lightly eff. Tar. Resin. Railroad tie. Very bitter and terribly dry on finish. Potent. I’m glad I only had a sample and not a whole bottle. Love the style, love the beer, but I’m not in love with this harsh and over the top interpretation of baltic porter...I so wanted it to be perfect, too.

Apr 24, 2005 3/19/05. Poured out of 1 L bottle, sampled courtesy of jcalabre on RateBeer at Pizza Port 12-Hour Belgian Fest in Carlsbad, CA 3/19/05. Dark brown-auburn in color with some transparency. Dusty lacing that separates at the rocky bubbles, very nice and dense where it goes. Thin whisp of a dark tan head but an otherwise excellent appearance. Nose of light chocolate, unsweetened, and dark malt. Cocoa powder with soft peat and moss. Dark malt and dry bitter flavor, chocolate dust and big leafy hops, faint wood. Really good mouthfeel, medium-full, slick and silky. A lovely texture that offsets the dark malt, chocolate and wood. Finishes really dry wtih stern roast and dark malt. Very well-balanced, very good stuff.

Mar 28, 2005 With a dark fruit sweetness on the nose, there was really nothing else. The smell was thin as was the flavor. The flavor had a little coffe and a caramel sweetness but that was it. The beer poured a dark brown color w/ slight head and lacing. The mouthfeel was medium bodied and creamy. I didn’t like this beer very much.
