Medium brown, not much head. Light but kind of sour smelling. Boring choc, light body, not good malt dev but then low bitterness too. All told, meh. Ok but precisely the sort of timid underwhelming attempt at strong beer that you get all the time in BC. Yawn.

Draught at the brewery
Dark mahogany color, near black, with generous beige head. Some aroma of burnt sugar, nice. Smooth mouthfeel, just some dark caramel and bread flavour, but very shallow, with a touch of liquorice; light residual sweetness, low bitterness, weak body (compared to expectations). Lager-clean.
A decent dark lager, but hardly a proper Baltic Porter, and without depth anyway.
