About as classic a Baltic porter as you can get, layers of rich chocolate and caramel, underlined by fig, black cherry, pumpernickel bread, and raisin, with hints of grass, walnutshell, roast, and coffee. A little more body would be nice, but otherwise a tasty pint.

Pours a deep brown colour with copper-ruby highlights. The head is quite big for such a high level of alcohol. Brown-beige coloured, frothy, almost creamy, like a latte, with good retention and some patches of lace. Lots of dark fruits in the nose with dates, raisins. Mild nuttiness with the roasted malt base. The taste has these darker fruits with the roasted malts and a nice finish of coffee, molasses and nuts. A decent dryness as well with the hops. All is nicely balanced and easy to drink.

Aus der Flasche 2015-07 im Hopfen und Malz Berlin getrunken. Groß und breit kommt dieses polnische Porter daher. Schöne Balance zwischen Röstaromen, Malzigkeit und etwas Süße. Mit steigender Trinktemperatur steigt die Süße. Achtung Lecker!

Smooth on the palate with dark fruit and Ethiopian coffee cherry notes. Medium body/carbonation. Lingering plum, blackberry and dark chocolate.

Wet dog, beef jerky, tobacco, kibble, smoke nose. Oh my that's rich! Cloudy brown, thick tan head, nice lace. Tobacco, toasted brown bread, smoke. There's an elusive subtle treacle and blueberry undercurrent that is wonderful. Raisin and prune finish. Full body, soft carbonation. Well damn if that isn't one of the best beers I've had in awhile! Exemplary!
