12 ounce bottle from Riley's in Madison. Black, thin frothy brown head, good retention. Aroma of roast, cocoa, coffee, a bit of plum. Taste is cocoa, caramel, berries. brown sugar, hint of anise. Medium bodied, low carbonation, mild booze, decent balance but risking being a bit too sweet. Nice beer.

Tap at Old Fashioned. Lake Louie is really on the ropes, and should probably be put out of our misery. Another loser. The raspberry takes center stage, in a sweet, artificial, sugary way. Very weak example of a Baltic Porter. Underattenuated. No enjoyable character. Bad. Friendly numerical score for such a craptastic beer.

Really more of a dark malty berry beer. Not bad for that, but as a Baltic Porter?!? All I can say is I'm glad I just got a small glass.
