12 oz can purchased as part of a holiday mix 6 pack at Sandhills Brewing in Mission, Kanas. The pour is an opaque brown black with a hint of ruby topped with a ¼ inch tan head that falls quick. The aroma is rich toffee malt, big richness, roast, mild char, pine and a hint of saltiness. The taste is pine, chalky toffee, roast, salty iodine and finishing super dry with the char and mineral. Tons of flavors, nice transition of flavors with it all blended and balanced. The palate is medium to heavier bodied, soft carbonation and the bone dry mineral and char finish. Excellent version of a Baltic Porter.

12 oz can purchased as part of a holiday mix 6 pack at Sandhills Brewing in Mission, Kanas. The pour is a murky brown dark copper with a minimal off white head that falls almost immediately. The aroma is cane sugar, Belgian spiced yeast, a nuttiness and a general potpourri. The taste is very spiced, nutmeg, cinnamon, persimmons, nuttiness and then closes with big Belgian yeast esters and spices. The palate is medium to heavier bodied, with soft carbonation and the spice, yeast and nutty long lingering finish. Very much as advertised, I’d like to try a straight Dubbel from Sandhills, the base of this seemed nice.
