Mar 29, 2008 Thanks abcfan. Pours a dark ruby brown with a one finger light tan frothy head. Looks lighter than I would have expected. The aroma is sweet, caramel, smokey, meaty, light raisin. The flavor is roasty and sweet, peaty, light smoke, warm, alcohol, meaty. The palate is pretty carbonated. Pretty good but not up to par with some others in its style.

Mar 28, 2008 BT pours dark like coffee with a tall creamy head. Good head retention reducing to a full fluffy lace. Belgianesque aromas with coffee and chocolate yet mildly. Medium full nectar with good carbonation creating a cotton fiberous texture. Thie brew is refined. It’s not as decadent as others in this style. Only mildly sweet and roasted with coffee bean, cocoa, vanilla, a little herb and bubblegum. The finish is a little weak leaving remnants of coffee. Overall: a good beer but a poor specimen.

Mar 27, 2008 Thanks to drmatt for sharing this baltic porter. Pours very dark with a dark crimson hue with medium tan head. the aroma has some cream, chocolate, dark malt and very light roast. Medium / thick body with some light carbonation. The flavor starts a bit watery with light chocolate, sharp fruit, some metallicness and minor roast. The finish is sharp and is a bit sour. An okay beer, but on the underwhelming side.

Mar 27, 2008 Updated: Jun 10, 2008Bottle thanks to Crosling, thanks dude. Poured a deep brown/black color with a thick, rocky beige head. Aroma of roasted malt, light chocolate, and a nice fruitiness. Flavor consists of a lightly fruity, sweet entry that leads into a nice chocolate flavor with undertones of roasted malt and more fruity flavors with a light coffee finish. Smooth, drying finish. Better than I anticipated, pretty solid beer. Thanks Crosling for just giving me this.

Mar 25, 2008 Bomber, much love to Vanette for bringing it down for me. Pours black with amber edges and a very small beige head. The aroma is quite roasty with some notes of chocolate, berry, toffee, and even a slight hint of smoke. The flavor is quite fruity, but with a prominent roasty character as well. There is a sort of woody character after that, along with some bitter chocolate. The finish is light coffee and alcohol, with a little bit of twang from the carbonation. Not too bad.

Mar 24, 2008 dark brown pour, tan head. sweet malty chocolate aromas, roasted malts. creamy mouthfeel with a slightly dry finish. an almost burnt, malty taste, but not unpleasant. well lagered, pretty smooth considering the abv. not as rich or exaltant as some other baltic porters Ive had the pleasure of tasting, such as smuttynose baltic, but definitely and interesting and enjoyable brew.

Mar 24, 2008 Pours a dark brown color with a tan head. The aroma is a sweet chocolate and malt one, with a flavor that complements the aroma quite well. Touch of roastiness to it, and a smooth texture to it. Overall I really was impressed with this one.

Mar 23, 2008 Pours dark brown with tan head. Aroma is roasted coffee with a hint of chocolate. The initial sweetness is balanced by a chocolate toffee finish. Very smooth too. Really good porter.
