Black colour, slight beige head. Aroma of caramel, coffee and nuts. Caramel flavour, walnut, light metallic touch. Finish caramel, roasted malts and nuts.
Pleasant surprise. Very decent porter.

Sad to think I’ve never rated this beer, but looking through my notes, its something I need to do. Pitch black coloured body with a lighter brown body when held up to a light with some ruby tints, all with a two centimetre tall tan head - looks great, of course. Aroma of roasted malt, raisins, nuts, earth, caramel, toffee and a lot of alcohol - some anise as well. Medium to Full-bodied; Strong roasty flavours up front with quite a bit of coffee and chocolate noticeable, a hint of milk and lactic notes, some light toffee and a lot of alcohol warmth and good earthy maltiness. Aftertaste shows a great complexity of all aformentioned flavours with some good alcohol, earth and toffee noticeable. Overall, quite simply, the best beer for this style - this is the beer that all Baltic porters should be measured. Drink this immediately if you haven’t, and if you live stateside, buy it as much as possible, given that it’s relatively cheap and a great beer. I sampled this beer many times, but the most memorable was on draught in Zywiec, Poland on vacation.

Der Porter zählt such schon länger zum Produktportfolio der Brauerei. Es ist ein solides, geschmacklich gutes Porterbier mit schönen Dunkelschoko und Kaffeearomen. Sie sind schön betont, könnten aber etwas harmonischer sein.

Bottle looks really good. Beer in the glass very dark, black as oil. Small head. Starts strong, but not too alcoholic. Malty, roasty, wonderful chocolate notes. Not as dry as others porters. Finish well balanced, still with chocolate and earthy notes. Very nice!

Bottle at a Ratebeer "sticky floor" tasting, Den Haag. Poured a dark cloudy brown colour with a broken tan head. The aroma is malt and liquorice and the flavour is much the same. A decent beer for the price.

Bottle at Dean’s sticky floor tasting. Dark Brown color with a deep dark red glow coming through. Smell dark malts, roasted malts, dark chocolate and mocha. Taste dark and roasted malts, chocolate and bitter. Medium to full body and a decent carbonation. Very nice actually.
