| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | May 7, 2007 Updated: May 8, 2007Bottle from Kristian (mikkeller). Pours deep brown with and creamy brown head (think chocolate milkshake). Aroma is very roasty, along with some nutshells and perhaps some chocolate milk. Flavor of dried dark fruits, roast, nuts. Strong notes of tobacco mid palate, that carries through to the finish and lingers. Finish also has some alcohol and dryness, and the lager characteristics make an appearance as well.. A decent traditional baltic, but I liked Alderis Porteris better as far as flavor (this has a much better mouthfeel). Do not drink this cold, as the bitterness is unpleasant with the lager yeast. jfm (1695), Holbćk, Denmark
