On my second flight on the patio of the brewpub on 13th August 2025. Dark brown, tanned roof. Malty with a plum and dark fruit mixture doused in mocha. Not enough alcohol to be a true Baltic Porter and it doesn't taste like one in my eyes! Liked it though.

473 ml can. Pours a dark brown with moderate head. Aromas of sweet dark fruit, chocolate, lactose, and roasted malts. Flavors of sweet juicy raisins, creamy chocolate, a bit of nuts and roasted malts. Nice.

Dark brown, sort of husky-fudgey on the nose, similar palate with a touch of sweet sugars and alcohol. Not much nuance though, and obviously nothing like a Baltic Porter.

Draught at St. Augustine's, Vancouver
Dark brown colour. Caramel based beer, with enough sweetness and enough flavour depth, a bit bready, especially in the aroma. Hint of dark fruits in the end.
Quite good.

Taster at St. Augustine with Alex, Josh, and Sunshine. Pours an almost black with a beige head. Aroma is fruity with some light roasted malt notes. Similar taste. Quite good.
