Poured from a 750ml bottle. Best by date of 10.03.14.
A: Pours dark brown with reddish undertones, faint amount of rising bubbles, ending with a thick off white head, very frothy with lots of big porous bubbles and decent lacing all around.
S: Sweet toffee, roasted malts with a light acidic, alcohol aroma.
T: Starts off with a more smokey - sour berries, malt flavour, only slightly sweet, a bit acidic moving into light bitter cocoa, that ends with a bit of a funky, Belgium style yeast and alcohol after taste.
M: Light to medium bodied, med - high carbonation, fairly smooth but a bit edgy, noticeable alcohol that finishes sticky.
O: An interesting Baltic Porter where the yeast adds a bit of complexity to a beer that maybe lacks a bit in the malt department, and helps to gives it a bit of sour edge. Pretty smooth and easy drinking because of the acidity and carbonation, though the 8.5% does pop up and reminds you that this contains a fair amount of booze. I'd recommend it as a beer to try that is not out of place in the summer with some food.

750ml bottle, part of a 3 glass, 3 beer gift pack recently available in Alberta, and apparently the rarest of the lot. A different sort of offering for this brewery, and again with that weird staple enclosure.
This beer pours a clear, very dark reddish brown hue, with two pudgy fingers of tightly foamy, bulbous tan head, which leaves a swath of specked snowdrift lace around the glass as it gently bleeds away.
It smells of somewhat sour caramel/toffee malt, sweet toasted cereal grain, generic brown sugar, softly nutty dark chocolate, and more than a touch of edgy vinous alcohol. The taste is bready caramel malt, sour black fruit, chewing gum, oily bar-top nuts, bittersweet cocoa, boozy vanilla, and soft, musty yeast.
The carbonation is effervescent, and frothy with a bare edge, the body a so-so medium weight, and just adequately smooth, as the multi-pronged tart, sour, and otherwise general edginess brings its collective weight down. It finishes off-dry, the toasted malts, tangy fruit, and understated mustiness all playing well enough together.
A kind of Baltic Porter lost in Flanders sort of deal, I would put forth. The edgy maltiness of the former, blended with the soft farmhouse notes of the latter, makes for a head scratching, but in the end, equitably drinkable affair - especially as the big ABV makes itself scarce, for the most part.
