Bottle. Poured dark brown with a grayish brown head. Aroma was a bit weak with some sweet malt notes (caramel). Flavor has more punch with a combination of roasted malts and caramel.

A good porter. Black. Aroma of burning wood. Thick malt texture, giving a heavy palate. Flavor is simple, as porter usually is, moderately roasted grain, and very lightly hopped. Dry finish. Thanks to Skyview for sharing.

Pours dark brown with minimal brown head. Aroma of roasted malts, cocoa and some coffee. Bittersweet dark chocolate, toasted malts and mocha flavors. Full body with minimal carbonation. Syrupy mouthfeel with a nice bitter finish.

Half liter swing top pours very dark with creamy yet mildly bubbly impressive mocha head and modest cobweb lacing. The aroma is sweet with malts, malt balls, molasses and a touch of vanilla. There’s a thin layer of dark fruitiness as well. The taste begins with a creamy mouth feel to start bringing in a mix of sweet caramel and coffee then moving toward a modest level of ripe plums, cherries and dark grapes. The roast and caramel re-surge into the finish. Tasty brew that has a mild pine hop bite lingering into the after taste.

16.9 ounce bottle courtesy of riversideAK. Thanks Alex! Bottled 2006. Pours a viscoud brown color with a brown one and a half inch head, moderate head retention and nice lacing. Aroma is rum soaked fruits, nuts and leather. Taste is very nutty, with tobacco and some very subtle caramel notes. Very dry and different entirely from the aroma. Alcohol is quite noticeable. Full bodied.

(Bottle 50 cl) Courtesy of Kramer17801. Pours a hazy, deep brown with a reddish hue and a beige head. Lightly tart nose with burned malt accents. Medium body with burned malt and both sweetness and acidity. Malt astringent finish. The slight infection doesn’t spoil the fun completely. 290607

Bottle courtesy of IMtheOptimator: Poured a hazy slightly dirty yellow color ale with a huge foamy head with good retention and good lacing. Aroma of estery yeast and spices is quite dominant as well as some tropical fruit- like sweetness. Taste is spicier then I would have expected which might be from the spice mix use in this beer or from the yeast strain use in this beer. Body is quite full and alcohol is not discernable. I thought this was reasonably well done for the style and would mind having another taste of it.

Poured a deep, oily black with a foamy tan head. Aroma is sweet, malty and bready with a hint of flowers. Flavor starts out sweet, nutty with a heavy roasted malt flavor. Finish really transforms this beer. Coffee touches, caramel and toffee with a chocolate flavor and texture. Great beer, great brewer. Very impressive.

1L Flip Top pours a very dark brown with almost no head. Only traces of lacing. Nice woody, dark caramal aroma. Quite smokey charcoal flavor. Another good Baltic, Nice sharp bitter trailer.
