Review based on the BJCP2008 guidelines (style 12C). Bottle 33 cl - Batch 01-15. AROMA: very faint malty caramel notes, mixed with a slight background sour and plum-like aroma. Some cereal hull notes and no hops. APPEARANCE: dark brown color and hazy, thin beige head with low retention. TASTE: very faint dried grape notes and some roasted malt flavour. has a bit of port-like aspect but with faint solventy notes. low bitterness with a semi-dry finish. PALATE: medium-low body with low carbonation. some alcohol warmth. OVERALL: a baltic porter that needs more complexity on the aroma and flavours. to be improved.

Bottle. Pours hazy deep amber with a large creamy beige head that dissipates slowly and laces well. Aroma is malty, breath, nutty, hints of grass. Flavor is medium sweet, medium bitter, apple tartness, lots of acidity. Lightish body, high carbonation. Lingering bitterness. Definitely a British IPA in style, and not a good one

Re-rating (2015) - Review based on the BJCP2015 guidelines (style 30C - Christmas/Winter Specialty Spiced Beer). Bottle 33 cl - Batch 01-14. AROMA: spice aromas of cardamom and ginger, mixed with a sweet background and slight lacquer notes.

TASTE: flavour equal to the aromas (ginger) with very faint supportive malt flavours. sweet background. low bitterness with a semi-dry to dry finish.

OVERALL: an unbalanced Christmas ale too much strong on the spices (ginger) which masks the base beer (no malt support). low body for a specialty beer.
