Notes:
Robust dark lager inspired by Porters from around the Baltic Sea region. This beer is luxuriously round with a mild bitterness. The malts contribute flavors of coffee, chocolate, and vanilla. The use of cherry-wood smoked malt provides a subtle hint of smoke.

Style is too sweet for my taste but clearly a great one for the style. Intense and no booze - impressive

look: 4.5 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4.5
Poured from bottle into my Cheers drinking mug.
A) This is dark brown, pretty much black. There was a nice 2 finger khaki colored head that settled to a dusting. There was a good amount of sticky lacing.
S) The aroma is of dark roasted malt and smoke. There is a sweetness, like brown sugar slowly cooking down. As this warms there is also some pleasing pipe tobacco.
T) There are quite a few layers here. I picked up coffee, chocolate, dark fruit, drown sugar and a hint of sweet rum. This has an earthy/woody finish, and an aftertaste of smoke. The 10% ABV is remarkably well masked.
M) Rather full bodied, and lightly carbonated. This beer is rich and very smooth. A pleasure to drink.
O) Absolutely delicious... I wish I had another one of these in the cellar. Highly recommended...

Pours dark brown with. 1cm creamy parchment coloured had that falls to a frothy film and ring that leaves good lacing. Aroma: leather, sour cherry, toast. Flavour: Prunes, Chocolate, dark cherries, raisins. Despite the high ABV the alchohol warmth is minimal. Full flavoured, creamy but not too heavy. This is an extraordinarily fine beer.

This is a great beer, and spot on for style, the bottle I have to review is a bit young, but still excellent.
Pours deep black with a deep red tint and mocha head.
Smells of Cherry, raisin, hints of chocolate.
The nose translate well to the taste with nice malt roundness and a touch of heat from the ABV.
