Keg at Craft. Black with a small beige head. As Petter said, 'tastes like Christmas'. Lovely aroma or liquourice, honey, spiced dried fruit, burnt sugar, and bit of bread. Quite an oaty taste and slightly oily in the mouth. Nice fizzy finish. Great stuff.

Draught @ Craft Beer Co., 82 Leather Lane, London, Greater London, England EC1N 7TR.Clear dark black brown colour with a large, frothy to creamy, good lacing, mostly to fully lasting, light beige head. Aroma is moderate to heavy malty, roasted, caramel, chocolate, raisin, plum, prune. Flavor is moderate to heavy sweet and light to moderate bitter with a average to long duration, sweet glogg (mulled wine), dark malt, spicy, odd spicy ! Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. Tasted for a bit like chrismas, but I did not get much of the coconut. [20120115]

A - Dark brown. Single head leather.
S - Nuts and almonds. Copper and peanuts. Honey and German malts.
T - Total standard but brown ale. German malts pretty sweet but an alight balance
80% carbonation medium. Very dry malty finish. Musky?
O - 79/100. Standard but not amazing.

Cask Pub & Kitchen, post RBESG tasting. Opaque black beer, tiny white head. Light semi dry palate. Fresh dark malt but it’s a little papery. Dry finish with a trace of vanilla. Too much paper!

Tap @ Beer Temple. Dark brown color, beige head. Aroma’s of brown sugar, roast, caramel, coconut, a hint of sour fruit. Flavor is mildly sweet. Fairly full body. Finishes roasty & bitterish. Coconut clearly detectable, but not overpowering. Very nice.

Draught @ Gastropub Nordic
Aroma is typical to baltic porter with roastiness and liquorice. Very smooth palate, lots of slightly salty liquorice in the flavour, also hints of ash. Dry finish. Well done.

Keg at CBC, London. Pours dark brown with a rich, tan head. Lots of roasty cocoa in the nose with serious notes of lactic sugars. Medium sweet flavor, dark and lightly roasted malts, milk chocolate, some dark berries perhaps, ash, hints of licorice. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Mostly sweet finish, some oily coconut, dark malts, light chocolate, subtle lactic sugar, mild roast. A delicious, understated beer with plenty of nuance.

On tap at Ølfestival 2011. It’s a dark brown beer, topped by a minimal-sized dark beige head. Malty, roasted aroma, tending towards butterscotch, with hints of coconut. Roasted, coconut flavor, could use a bit more bitterness I think, but it’s nice anyway. Smooth, medium to full body. I like the roasted and coconut flavors in this one, unusual but tasteful, well worth drinking again. 110526

(Draught at Pikkulintu, 20110903) The beer poured almost black and clear. Its head was medium sized and almost white. Aroma had roasted malts, liquorice, chocolate and vanilla. Palate was medium bodied and dry with medium carbonation. Flavours were coconut, roasted malts, sweetness, liquorice and bitterness. Aftertaste was roasty and bitter. Coconut flavours and other beer flavours aren’t made for each other.
