Deep dark brown coloured body with a very thin, single centimetre tall rich brown head tha fades relatively quickly and doesn't leave anything on top. Aroma of oats, a ton of anise, licorice and grain with a big alcohol and pungent ouzo character along with a dose of light caster sugar and even some notes of lactose and milk sugars. Lightish to Medium-bodied; Mild and subdued mushroomy, meaty and grainy malts throughout with a roast quality, some raisins, figs, grapes, milk, alcohol with a peaty and even a bit of a lightly smoked profile with some meats and vanilla tucked away at the end with a bit of pungent grain and malt flavour with bitterness and little else at the tail end. Aftertaste shows more of the anise and peat than anything else - not many sugars here and not much pungency, which is in all honesty, a good thing, but slightly off to see it this thin and subdued, especially just after ~two years this tastes as mild as an Imperial Stout at ~5 years. A good offering, and aged nicely with a very subdued profile, as what I was hoping for, but a touch too thin and too mild and simplistic. I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased from Whole Foods in Clarendon (Arlington), Virginia on 24-March-2015 for US$9,99 when my second kid was just two months old, now I've got three kids with that one being more than 3, sampled at home in Washington on 07-April-2018.

Draft at Spacebar. Poured a very dark cola color with a small slightly off-white head. Aroma was roasted notes, lots of raspberry. Chocolate raspberry. Sweet, light syrup. Some chocolate roast. Wife liked this one.

Deep dark brown coloured body with a thinnish light brown head, about three centimetres tall that dies down fairly quickly. Aroma of roasted malt, light anise, some licorice, a good deal of earth and nuts and finished with a good deal of lactose. Medium-bodied; Relatively mild roasted malt flavour that shows some lactose, grain, hazlenuts and a little bit of toffee and caramelised sugars noticeable. Aftertaste shows more of the malts than anything else, but definitely on the dry side of things and showing only a bit of the anise and licorice notes that ends with a little bit of peat and a lot of bitterness throughout. Overall, a pretty standard Irish Dry with some nice malty characteristics, but not enough depth, complexity or body to make this stand out. It's definitely not a bad beer and shows well, but isn't for people to go out and try to find, unless you absolutely love the style or want to drink it on Saint Patrick's Day! I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Total Wine in Manassas, Virginia on 31-January-2018 for US$2,24 sampled in my hotel room here in Lexington Park, Maryland on 07-March-2018.

Draft: Charred oak, coffee, blackberry nose. Mahogany, thin tan head. Charred oak, raspberry, tree bark. Medium body, easy carbonation. Tastefully done.

Feety oak nose, earthy orange. Hazy copper, medium yellow head. Oak, moss, orange. Medium body, soft carbonation. Much less sharper hop bite than the non-wood conditioned.

Dude, I love the name of this bottle, porter or not. Drank right ou tof the bottle, it is a pretty good example of a baltic but hey, made in america? Not quite as perfectly rude as the old country baltic but so be it. I would not have think it was 7%, heheh. Sneaks up on you in the end. Just, maybe, just maybe, I think I feel a feeling of elation on the finish? Could use a tiny more manners for a dark beer. I really do like to watch crows around my homestead!

$1.95 Bottle from Wine Warehouse. Pours black with a frothy tan head. Aroma is cocoa. Flavor is cocoa, light coffee. Only a bit of flavor - really plain, but also drinkable.

I presume its pale gold in color, drank right from the bottle, heheh. Its clean, its fresh, its not in yer face. Almost as peachy as a lager, no?
