A dark reddish copper brown ale with a thick frothy lacing mocha head. In aroma, sweet caramel malt with light grassy hops, light mineral notes, light oxidation, OK. In mouth, a nice caramel malt with loads of treacle, light butterscotch, oily mouth feel, nice and smooth.

Nice beer with a better aroma than taste, which comes through as advertised: dark dried fruits. Good beer, but just average for an imperial stout.

A little over enthusiastic on the barrel like rolling over Niagara Falls. Black pour with decent head and lacing. Roast and whiskey with a little dark chocolate. Caramel. Bottle.

Bottle - Funky sour notes, cocoa, cherry and dark chocolate. Jet brown with a nice light brown head. Sour and smooth roast with some cocoa and a light cherry finish. Although you get sourness, acidity is gone and you have a slick and long balanced finish. Very interesting and quite surprising.

2015 version. This years version is a nice malty one, with Belgian notes that have been subdued over the months. All around one of their better beers. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

bottle - Pours dark copper colored with a small head. It has a resinous, hoppy aroma. The strongly bitter flavor has more resinous character and some caramel malt in the background. It’s medium to full bodied, a solid but certainly not fantastic beer.

330ml bottle, shared with Blackhaddock in his man cave. Many thanks to Duffman for this. Pours very dark brown, good off-white head. Aroma is dried dark fruits, dark malts. Taste continues in a similar vein, lots of chewy dark fruits, dark malts, cocoa.. good complex, tasty baltic porter.

355ml bottle, shared with minutemat on 5th Aug 2016. Cheers Mat for this. Black bodied, or very dark brown: tanned topping. Malts all the way here, you pick your favourite malty flavour or aroma and you’ll find it in this beer. Coffee, toffee, chocolate, caramel, liquorice, all there waiting to be found. Nice balance between the maltiness and the body depth hides the alcohol well: a very pleasant beer all round.
