GBBF Day 1. Cask. Light haze on this amber brown beer, small pale tan head. Light palate, semi dry, reasonable fine carbonation. Smooth dark malts, that lactose twang. Tangy dark fruits. Mellow tangy dark chocolate. Light finish. Good for its style.

12 ounce bottle. Opaque dark brown pour.msmall creamy tan cap. Rich roasted malt aroma is reminiscent of prune and Worcestershire sauce. First sip has notes of soy sauce and roasted portobello mushrooms. Subtle notes of licorice, balsamic vinegar and plums. Medium bodied as you would expect for a Baltic Porter. Complexity grows as brew warms. Outstanding!

Black with a creamy, beige head. Aroma full of smoke, tobacco and oatmeal. Sweet up front, tart as it moves on. Creamy, smooth medium body. Pleasant.

Surprised Duck-Rabbit made such a weak barleywine; seems like it would be a natural fit. Very fruity, with pronounced red apple notes amid caramel, toffee, cardboard, wet malt, and an outsized medicinal bitterness on the back end. Just seems...askew.

Bottle from BeautifulBeers.co.uk. Black with a light brown head. Aroma is sweet, malty, roasted malt and light hoppy - citrus. Flavor is quite sweet and rather bitter. Dry and rather bitter finish. 090419

No surprise Duck-Rabbit nails the Baltic porter so well; these guys know dark beer, and their spot-on version of a difficult style only furthers this assertion. Deep veins of chocolate and dark fruit are layered on top mild notes of anise and bitter coffee. Never grows roasty, though, staying firmly entrenched in the classic porter unsweetened cocoa profile. Not a trace of the 9% ABV, and the fade leaves lingering traces of pumpernickel bread and pitch-black chocolate. Very nice.

Leans heavily into the toffee-caramel sweetness of the style, loaded with dried fig and date backed up by hints of molasses and black cherry. Very Americanized doppelbock, for sure, but lacks the needed hoppy dryness and minerality to offset the onslaught of sugary dark malt notes. Just a heavy, sweet beer, man, a bit too comfortable with being unyielding in its sweetness for me. A four-ounce pour? I'm probably in love. But a full twelve ounces is pushing my limits.
