Jun 6, 2005 (bottle) Almost black body with a big brown foamy head, slowly lacing. Molassy aroma with caramel, nuts and roasted malts. Medium to full bodied with a creamy texture. Mocha sweet flavour. Roastmalty taste with liquorice, turning into a long lasting bitterdry finish with notes of cold coffee and dark chocolate. What a gem ! The alcohol is almost not detectable.

Jun 4, 2005 Bottled. Pitch black colour. Even my halogen desk lamp couldnīt shine through it. Small brown head. Coffeish and bitter-chocolatey aroma with notes of dark fruits, mainly plums and berries. Initial flavour profile is a heavy bitter-chocolate flavour, roastmaltiness, as well as plums and raisins. Then a light sweetness and caramel. Ends bitter-chocolatey and leaves a strong aftertaste, thatīs somewhere between bitter-chocolate and medicine bitterness. But actually not bad. The only downside may be that itīs not exactly full-bodied, rather appearing a bit light, but also a bit fizzy, even after the beer sat for a while. Overall, a fruity, bitter baltic porter that is complex, yet not very demanding on the drinker. Thanks to moritzf for this long-wanted beer.
