0.5l bottle kindly traded with ElDesmadre. This one pours a clear deep deep ruby body and it has a medium sized light brown head. On the aroma this is sweet with lots of licorice, some alcohol and roasted tones of chocolate and malts. Perhaps a little bit of purple fruits as well. In the flavor I get dried cocoa powder, chocolate and a little bit of roastiness. It's quite soft on the carbonation and it has a somewhat thin but slick texture. Light sweet as well, and it's what I would call tasty. Leaving the mouth with nice hints of prickling booze. Not to exciting, but yeah, tasty! I enjoyed this one. 19.04.2012

Can. Clear golden color with a tiny white head. Aroma of some cooked corn and a bit of hops. Sweetish grainy flavor with a bit of corn and a drier, slightly bitter, short finish. Watery. Not good, but pretty clean and drinkable.

500ml Bottle picked up in London while visiting my son. This bottle had a best before date of 2 Dec 2011 and was reviewed over Easter 2011. The beer pours a rustic reddy brown, not a true Porter black. I found coffee and fennel in both the smell and taste, in equal quantities. Neither were over stated, but they were the over riding flavours throughout the tasting, allowing nothing else to get at my tastebuds. The body reminded me of the better dark lagers produced in Germany more than a Baltic Porter, so rather thin body wise. OK, but I’ll not be rushing back to get a crate load.

Tall clear half litre bottle found in Cambridge, England: reviewed two weeks after its best before date in Jan 2012. Poured twice into a Palm badged tulip: the beer is a lovely dark ruby red and on top sits a deep tan coloured head. The smell is sweet molasses, buckets of them, roasted caramel and toffees. The taste follows the nose, a sweet malty flavour with no or very little hop infussion to be found. On the thin side for such a good looking dark beer and just a bit too sugary for my taste, even though I normally prefer the maltier, sweeter brews. Glad I found it, along with a few other Baltic/Eastern European bottles while visiting Cambridge.
