Bottle at the Pre-Christmas CBC - Clerkenwell Tasting, London - this was one of my contributions. Pours rich, black-brown with a tight beige cream head. Ashy roast nose, hints of dark berries. Medium sweet flavor with dark bread, cocoa, mild char, faint earth. Medium bodied with fine, smooth carbonation. Moderately sweet finish with smooth cocoa, dark sugars, charred malts, light roast. Very decent baltic porter.
