16oz @ Ryan's (thx for the beer, man!). Appearance: black with a beige head. Aroma: roasted malts, coffee, dry, some roasted seeds. Taste: along the same lines, good body, a bit crispy, roasted malts and seeds. Finishes with hoppy bitterness. Overall: pretty good.

16 ounce can from Tavour. Dark brown color. Rocky tan head. Sweet roasted malt aroma hints at brown sugar. Flavor mirrors nose. Dark roasted malt , brown sugar, dark dried fruit, dark chocolate and resiny pine hops. Rich and decadent. Smooth and flavorful.

16oz can from Tavour. Dark brown pour, rough pour yields a two finger fluffy beige head, which settles out to a filmy tan covering, ring around the glass, lacing. Beautiful so far Aroma is chocolate, licorice, roasty malts, woody, sweet. Taste is woody, roasty, chocolate, licorice subsides a bit, sweet but not overly so. Creamy feel, nice heft. So damn good...

From Good Times Oakland, canned November 13th 2023.
It pours black but not pitch black, small off white head of foam that disappears quickly, no lacing.
The smell is roasted malt, dark chocolate, hint of coffee, chocolate of the sweeter kind.
The taste is roasted malt, has some nutty notes, toffee, dark chocolate, pretty well balanced between bitter and sweet.
Mouthfeel is okay; not much carbonation here but not flat.
Super delicious Baltic Porter.

Can from Elizabeth Station, Bellingham, WA, via Sergey
Dark brown colour. This is totally a caramel beer, it has a good malt depth, moderately sweet, full bodied and sweet, with accents of dark caramel in the finish; it doesn't have the fruity esters of many American doppelbocks.

Can. Pours near black with a light brown head that dissipates quickly to the edges. Aroma has a combination of sweet dark grains and roast with a bit of earthiness supporting. Flavor has earthy roast and sweet dark grains with a hint of chocolate underlying.

Poured from a 16 oz can dated November 16, 2020. Aroma is fairly malt forward, but balanced with quite a bit of fruity esters. Moderately strong roast and chocolate malt notes with lighter caramel, toffee and toasted bread. Moderate notes of fruity character with raisin, cherry and prune. Light alcohol notes. Pours black with dark brown hues on the edges and a medium sized, thick, light mocha head that recedes steadily to a small film that lingers on the edges. Light lacing and small legs. Flavor is somewhat sweet with moderately strong notes of chocolate and dark caramel with lighter toasted bread, roast and toffee notes. Medium bitterness and light alcohol notes. Moderate notes of cherry, raisin, casual and prune. Faint herbal, woody hop notes. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a solid Baltic Porter. Nice malt notes with balanced esters and a light hop note. Alcohol is well hidden and nothing harsh.
