Dec 5, 2009 Bottle. Pours a dark brune with a tan off white head. Light chocolate and toasted malts, some nutty caramel, with a light mineral sweetness. A bit hoppy roast to finish. Still thin and rather simple, its no DR.

Oct 28, 2009 Tap at brewery during GABF 2009.
Pours a deep black with a nose of plastic chocolate. Flavor follows suit, with a big steaming pile of plastic chocolate dumped into the mix. Average mouthfeel. Not a good beer. At all.

Aug 14, 2009 Bottle. Chocolate milk, roast and coffee in the nose is masked by a moderately strong butter/diacetyl presence as well as some dusty/moldy milk powder and some peppery asparagus/vegetal notes. Overcarbonated with a slightly weak body, certainly weaker than I would expect for Baltic porter - but let’s be serious, I didn’t expect anything close to true Baltic porter from Twisted Pine. For porter, even, the body is lacking depth and roundness, poor malt presence all around, really. Mildly hoppy in the finish... pretty much your typical chocolate/coffee/toast. Worse as it warms.

Jun 11, 2009 12 oz bottle. Pours dark brown with a large frothy tan head that retains well going to a thin film eventually that laces the glass.
The aroma is grainy chocolate malts and stale coffee.
The flavor is watery chocolate malts and some dark fruit. The mouthfeel is medium bodied and watery.
Overall, it showed promise but could have been so much better. It would’ve been better if bigger and less grainy and watery.
