Can from Brewcraft at home. Dark cola brown nearly opaque with slight ruby hue at edges. Minimal sudsy white head. Aroma is fruitier than expected for Baltic porter - dried cherries and berries more than stone fruit, but some of that too. Christmas bread. Taste is more straightforward but not bad. Bitter start gives way to smooth dried dark fruit, some chewy bread, and alcohol warmth. Bready malt finish - like from some other Lovecraft beers. Palate is light and a bit slick. Not bad at all. Worth a try for sure.

Bottle from Brewcraft at home during quarantine. Slightly translucent copper amber pour with puffy fine white head. Aroma is wet grass earthy hops, soft bread malt. Taste is sweet grass and toasted caramel bread, some earthy bitterness. Soft carbonation. Crisp finish. Very nice.

Bottle from Brewcraft at home. Copper pour with barely any head. Aroma is super grape and apple juice, with some earthy hop and caramel sweetness. Taste is big round earthy bitterness, then sweet plum and orange, with a bready malt and alcoholic warmth. Very nice. Palate a bit watery as carbonation so low. Would get again.

Fruity esters and toast. Deep dark brown with a small white head. Estery and watery with a bit of tamarind. Not up to par with their lighter beers.

On tap at 99 Bottles, pours a cloudy golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out dank, grassy food upfront, with a crisp biscuity malt base. Flavour is along the same lines, with grassy and dank hops, and crisp biscuity malt. Dank and grassy. Good stuff.
