3.01/5  rDev -22.8%
look: 4 | smell: 3 | taste: 2.75 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3
Appearance: Dark brown, near black body with a light tan head and producing minimal lace on the way down.

Smell: A dark, dusty that not particularly vigorous maltiness, some meek hints of chocolate and muted coffee. The addition of the berries stand out in the nose, but not really in a good way, coming across as a tangy berryish, faux grape quality. Instead of adding, they seem to detract.

Taste: A dark maltiness housing tastes of chocolate, coffee and cola, though not particularly lush. The ingrained dark fruitiness mingles with the unique fruity aspects associated with the goji and elderberries, though, for me, it's a bit conflicting. Minimal hop character and bitterness. More of those dark malts on the finish, with that peculiar fruitiness lingering into the aftertaste.

Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation.

Overall: Neither the goji nor the berries of the elders seemed particularly fitting. Falls far short of many emboldened porters, Baltic or otherwise.

Pours a dark brown color with khaki colored head. Berries, chocolate, roast, and some earth on the nose; follows onto the palate. Medium bodied. Finishes like a chocolate covered berry, very nice.

Baltic Porter with Goji heroes and Elderberries. Milder than their Night Swim porter but with a ABV kick.

Goji berries and elderberries. Very interested fruited baltic porter. The fruit is first, then a smokey finish. Thanks for the extra, trade partner. Great beer for Springtime.
