On tap at WBF 2025, pours black with a frothy brown head. Aroma has pungent rum barrel, with toasted malt and a touch of vanillin underneath. Flavour is overtaken by a harsh rum barrel expression—perfumey, boozy, harsh—leaving the base malts obscured. What was once a good base beer has been ruined by harsh rum treatment. Not good.

On tap at Warsaw Beer Festival 2025. Pours nearly black with a tan head. Burnt toast and black rum on the nose. Flavour has burnt bread crusts, dry sugars, and a ton of harsh spiced rum. The base beer is great, but the rum barrel completely bulldozes the beer.

330ml bottle. Jet black colour with late awakening, small, creamy, fading, beige head. Chocolately, dark malty and slightly bitter alcoholic aroma, notes of dark chocolate, dark caramel, some rum, a touch of dark toffee. Taste is sweet-ish, chocolately dark malty, caramel malty and slightly alcoholic, notes of dark chocolate, dark caramel, some toffee, rum, some alcoholic bitterness; slightly warming, alcoholic finish. Creamy to viscous texture, smooth, soft and silky palate, fine, soft to flat carbonation. Neither overly deep nor rich, very homogeneous - a good but just an average one among the considerable number of excellent Baltic Porters brewed in this style's leading country Poland.

Lõhnab nagu arstikapp, maitseb suht ka, lisaks šokolaad, röst, linnased, mõrudus jms. Veider, uuesti ei kipuks proovima, aga väikeste lonksudena joodamatu ei ole.
