A silky and robust Baltic porter reminiscent of raisin, burnt caramel, roasted coffee and molasses. Very malty and somewhat sweet, it finishes with a dry and balanced bitter taste. The aroma is molasses and malt. Like a moderately hopped bock, with chocolate and coffee notes. This brew is bottom fermented and well rounded, with its potency hidden in its easy-drinking quality. Rummy, raisin and licorice notes similar to an old ale reside in the profile. The character also has hints of chocolate and coffee, and at times, a roasted background.

24/8/2019. Can courtesy of Colin shared at the Ipswich & North Essex beer share. Pours clear mid-brown with a small creamy off-white head. Aroma of milk chocolate, roasted malt, dark fruit, caramel, light coffee and cake. Medium plus sweetness and light to moderate bitterness. Medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation. Enjoyable.

Can. A deep brown beer with a small beige head. Heavy aroma with roasted malts, nuts, caramel, dark chocolate hints, some prunes, treacle and oats, and a light alcohol touch. It's full-bodied, smooth and nicely carbonated, with a good sweetness and a pleasant light warmth. Some bitterness to bring a slight balance to the accounts. Molasses, caramel, prunes, some dark chocolate and coffee in the flavor, followed by some roasted malts and dark sugar. Everlasting sweet finish with lots of good stuff. A light warming sensation left in the throat and mouth. A pleasant, tasteful and dangerously easy drinkable beer that I sure wouldn't mind repeating. 190726

Tap at Salon piva. Mostly sweet, fully malty, loads of caramel, full body, rather light chocolate, no deep roast. Fruits absent too. Rather low bitterness as well, alcohol hidden too. Good, but too sweet for my liking.
