Brewed in collaboration with Shelton Brothers. Lots of rye malt and spices inspired by the dark German bread.

Pours black with a rich brown head that stays. Looks almost like an espresso with creamy froth. Trailing lace slides down glass with some stickage.
The smell is of roasted coffee, chocolate, pumpernickel bread, carroway seeds and minty rye that is quite noticeable.
The taste is of pumpernickel bread and minty rye. Spicy with a firm chocolate/roasted coffee character.
It has a rich, velvety/silky full body.
An interesting brew - minty spicing from rye, at times, just a tad too forward, but works well to give an extra spiciness to balance the sweetness and breadiness. Interesting pumpernickel character that is not too overwhelming. Pretty complex. Certainly unique.
Contract brewed by Nogne-O - in small letters says it's a stout brewed with spices. To me, more of a stout than a porter, though in that boderline between the two (and the name fits better with porter, anyway). Definately recommended!

Poured from a 0.5 L bottle into a room temperature snifter.
A: Pours opaque with a thick khaki head that maintains well and laces beautifully throughout.
S: Some notes of coffee and chocolate take a back seat to hops, fennel and rye, making it spicy in the nose.
T: Some roast up front, with coffee and a little chocolate afterwards, move quickly to a little hop bitterness and dry bready flavors of rye and fennel, but without being overpowering. All of the notes come together and leave a pleasant roast aftertaste.
M: Medium body with decent carbonation, the rye and fennel notes lend a little bit of astrigency to the beer, but it is not unpleasant.
O: A well-balanced and novel approach to the style, the rye and fennel add to the hop bitterness, leaving you with a big Baltic porter that flirts with the Russian Imperial Stout style.

A - Black with some dark brown edges and a dense, three-finger, cappuccino-like head that dissipated extremely slowly. Big bubbles with moderate lacing.
S - Lives up to the name. Bready, roasted malts. A very peaty, earthy aroma is also present. It all works well together, with a heavy pepperiness to it.
T - Rye bread upfront, followed by a moderate liquorice flavor. The fennel really lingers, and although enjoyable, I felt like paired with food it would be better (I tried a few different cheeses, which didn't quite seem to work. Switched to a complementary bread, which really intensified the spices.)
M - Mouthfeel was moderately thick, with a dry, bitter aftertaste.
O - Overall, a really nice beer. However, I would recommend sharing the half litre bottle, as the spices are quite pronounced (although I would say this is the beer's strength, as it is a 'pumpernickel porter' after all.)
