Inspired by the thousands of Still Creek Crows that fly over our brewery to their nightly roost, this Eastern European style beer is as dark as their wings. With balanced notes of dark chocolate, caramel and dried fruit, this complex beer is sweet, yet crisp and quaffable thanks to a cold lager fermentation.

Bottle - Dark malts and a touch of toast. Dark brown with a light brown head. Light toffee and a touch of roast. A bit of a sweet mess.

Tasting at Matt’s
Black color, the brownish head disappears quickly. Aroma and flavor of dark caramel, but the body is a bit thin, and the flavor doesn’t have much depth; mild residual sweetness; roasted nuts in the final.
Simple, but not bad.

650mL bottle, pours a deep dark brown with a small beige head. Aroma brings out toasted caramel, cocoa, and dark fruits. Flavour is full of toasted bread, caramel and a touch of dark fruits. Quite dry and bready. Restrained, but pleasant. Decent stuff, but lacks oomph.

Hazy light brown, thin head. Toasty aroma is basic porter, nothing Baltic. Light body, sweet and chocolatey. An alright porter but disappointing in the sense that it has absolutely no Baltic character.
