ABV: 10.0% IBU: 45 Ticks: 65
You’re holding an original, boundary-pushing lager. This is a big Baltic Porter that might remind you of an Imperial Stout with noticeable sweetness, balanced by roasted malt and hop bitterness. A lengthy conditioning creates a smooth, chocolaty mouthfeel enhanced by brown sugar.

New Beer Distributors, NYC bottle: somehow I have had a number of these barrel-aged versions but never got around to the original. In any case pours pretty black with a beige head. Aroma is molasses, ok quality dark roast coffee, general maltiness. Body is smooth and alcohol is well covered. It is kind of sweet but far from cloying. Body is not too heavy. Kind of chocolate and molasses aftertaste. Good.

Bottle pour into nonic pint glass from Tuckaway Tavern and Butchery. Appearance is almost opaque black--very dark brown with red with light source directly behind--with light sparkle at the edge of the glass, cascading effervescence like a nitro beer on initial pour, 3-finger width foamy light brown head with fair retention and fair soapy lacing. Aroma is rich roasted malts with coffee, dark chocolate and licorice. Taste is strong roasted malts, coffee, chocolate and dark fruits--very imperial stout-like as described. Palate is full bodied with smooth, creamy texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste with dryness representative of the style. Overall, this is one helluva beer.
