DarkElf (3424) - La Jolla, California, USA - MAR 8, 2019UPDATED: MAR 8, 2019 02-Aug-17 (500-ml bottle: Purchased 14-Mar-07 for $7.62 at Liquid Solutions in Tigard, OR)
This Porter is black in color and pours less than half an inch of light-brown head that settles to a bubbly sheet and ring. The nose is smoky and roasty with notes of coffee, blackstrap molasses, burnt toast, dark chocolate, and bacon. On the palate, there are flavors of dark chocolate, cocoa, prune, coffee, smoke, grilled meat, and a touch of ashiness in the finish. It's quite sweet, but the moderately dark roastiness and subsequent moderate bitterness help to offset all that sweetness. The beer is full bodied, medium-minus in carbonation, and smooth on the palate. Overall, this is an enjoyable, fairly complex Porter with a nice smoky and earthy character.

john44 (4634) - SW London, Greater London, ENGLAND - FEB 13, 2017Bottle. Pours very dark brown, almost black. Dominant flavours are burnt/roasted malts, dark bitter chocolate, espresso coffee, burnt sugar and dark fruits. Rich, smooth and full-bodied. Rather oily and tary. Very salty. Underlying hop bitterness. Alcohol well disguised. Very long dry roast finish. Not for the faint hearted. Terrific Baltic Porter!

martin00sr (9113) - Haderslev, DENMARK - DEC 9, 2016Black, beige head. Aroma has licorice, coffee, cocoa-like boozy notes. Thick, creamy mouthfeel, almost chewie. Coffee, licorice and chocolate. Sweet with licorice bitterness and smooth, warming alcohol. 3 years past BBD but still (I guess) with all the flavours intact. Very nice. Thanks MiP.
Bamsen78 (7609) - Sønderborg, DENMARK - DEC 9, 2016Bottle. Pours cloudy dark brown with airy tan head. Clear aroma of roast and chocolate, with roasty notes and touches of yeast. Bitter and roasty flavour with notes of coffee, chocolate and liquorice and touches of hops and malt. Lingering, roasty, coffeelike aftertaste with notes of hops. Well-balanced and delicious. Fantastic. A splendid BP! 3 years past the BBD and still going strong!
TorbenJensen (1877) - Valby, DENMARK - OCT 14, 2015Although a dark brown and very dense foam located close to the top of the thick coal-black porter. It hangs fat on the inside of the glass and reminiscent of an oily substance. The aroma is coffee and licorice, while the taste varies over dark bitter chocolate, lots of strong coffee and English licorice. It is a sovereign delicious porter.
Beerandhockey8 (468) - Three Forks, Montana, USA - JUL 25, 2015From 22oz bottle to English pint. Pour is a black with minimal head.
