Aromas are roast, dark malt, cocoa with some molasses and a hint of coffee. Flavors are similar to nose, add in some tart and bittersweet. Very well balanced overall. Maybe a touch thin in body. Good drinking beer.

16oz can from Tavour. Dark brown pour, rough pour yields a two finger fluffy beige head, which settles out to a filmy tan covering, ring around the glass, lacing. Beautiful so far Aroma is chocolate, licorice, roasty malts, woody, sweet. Taste is woody, roasty, chocolate, licorice subsides a bit, sweet but not overly so. Creamy feel, nice heft. So damn good...

From Good Times Oakland, canned November 13th 2023.

It pours black but not pitch black, small off white head of foam that disappears quickly, no lacing.

The smell is roasted malt, dark chocolate, hint of coffee, chocolate of the sweeter kind.

The taste is roasted malt, has some nutty notes, toffee, dark chocolate, pretty well balanced between bitter and sweet.

Mouthfeel is okay; not much carbonation here but not flat.

Super delicious Baltic Porter.
