Bottle thanks to Matt! Pours a near clear deep brown with a tan head that dissipates completely. Aroma has a good amount of dark fruits and an alcohol burn as well as some dark grains. Flavor has smooth sweet dark grains with a bit of toffee and a touch of fruits in the finish. A touch thin.

22oz bottle pours a mostly translucent, copper amber with two clumps of white head. Nose of toffee, orange, a little cardboard, brown sugar, caramel. Flavors of toffee apple, caramel chips, cookies, oxidized oranges. Medium bodied, sweet finish. The hops are totally gone from this 2005 bottle, but it is not bad.

Bottle as shown. Pours a dark brown with a small quickly diminishing tan head. The aroma is roasted malt and chocolate. Thin mouthfeel with a smoke and vanilla. Easy to drink a good Baltic porter.

Black muddy body. Brown creamy head. Quite nice aroma of chocolate, coffee and some caramalts: not overwhelming, but interesting aroma. Moderately sweet, lightly bitter flavour: well balanced, nice complexity.

Older bottle thanks to cquiroga. Pours with a black body and a lasting deep brown head. Good lace. Aromas are very vinous and estery, big fig notes, brown sugar, plum, dark fruit, roast, fudge and milk chocolate. Flavors are somewhat oxidized. Roast, vanilla, lots of raisin notes, dark fruits, fig and milk chocolate. On the sweeter side of things. Creamy, mellow and light oxidation. Low carbonation. Good, but was probably better a few years ago.

Courtesy of Blazer06. It pours ruby deep red with mocha head. The aroma has some spiciness from yeast and winter like spices but seems to roll quickly into full rich sweet dark fruity esters. The taste is even more so with the dark fruitiness with smooth sweet blueberries and ripe dark grapes mixing with thick sticky malts and smooth mellow spiciness. Nice.

Süßlicher, stark malziger Antrunk mit leichten, kaum erkennbaren hefenoten. Weiter sehr aromatisch malzig, vollmundig, zum Ende auch etwas scharf, dafür aber untypischerweise kein bisschen bitte. Gelungenes aromatisches Bier! 12/12/10/12/11/12
