Wolf Spit
Fonta Flora Brewery

Poured into a Fremont small snifter. Pours a very dark mahogany brown, appearing opaque in the glass with a quarter finger, dark khaki head that slowly dissipates to patches with light lacing. Aroma of dark toasted and biscuit malt, dried plums, faint cocoa and a vague woody note. Flavor is dark toasted and biscuit malt, hickory, dried plums, mild dates, cocoa; a light smokehouse taste in the finish. Medium bodied with moderate creaminess. The base malt provides fine dark fruit character that is befitting a Baltic porter. The hickory provides a flavor that is mild, but reminiscent of well smoked malt with a savory quality. An excellent and unique example of the style. Nicely done. Hope I see this again.

Pours from the growler into a 1/2 liter stein a deep dark chocolate color with a creamy-like half finger deep beige head atop.A mix of chocolate and dark fruits in the nose,the smoke is on the lighter side but is detectable.A really well rounded and flavorful palate,starts out with bitter chocolate, dark fruit,and earth,then the hickory comes into play and lingers in the finish....Like it should.FF did this the right way,the smoke doesn't smack you in the face,it just compliments the other flavors very well.Nicely done.

 

A: The beer is very, very dark brown in color (black when viewed from afar). It poured with a quarter finger high light tan head that left a thin layer of bubbles covering most of the surface, a narrow collar around the edge, and some lacing down the sides of the glass.
S: Moderate aromas of dark and chocolate malts are present in the nose along with notes of hickory.
T: The taste follows the smell, except that there are a bit stronger flavors of hickory and these seem to stand out in the finish.
M: It feels light- to medium-bodied on the palate and has a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: I thought that this beer had just the right amount of hickory in the taste as it wasn't too strong or overpowering. It was also quite drinkable compared to other beers in the style and didn't seem that heavy in body; any traces of alcohol were well hidden from the taste.

Serving type: can

 

Look: It pours dark brown with a dark brown head. head retention is moderately low.

Smell: It has aromas of chocolate and wood with a hint of smoke. It has some roasted notes and dark fruits low in the background.

Taste: The hickory and some smoke are more prominent with the chocolate and dark fruits in the flavors. Roast is low in the background.

Feel: It has a medium full body with low carbonation. The hickory, smoke, and roast carry into the aftertaste.

Overall, an interesting flavor for a Baltic porter with the hickory and smoke taking over a bit in the flavor, but it is good even with that.

 

Sampling a cellar temp 16 oz can into a pint glass. The beer is a part of a trade with @jerryfreak. thank you.
the beer pours a clear cola brown and some light passes through on the edges of my glass.
A fizzy beige head foams up 2 cm and fades quickly to nothing after the pour.
The aroma is all malt with some brown sugar and a bit of molasses coming through. there is also a decent charred note on the nose. Booze and hops stay hidden on this one.
First sip reveals an average body with very smooth texture and very fine and tingly carbonation that tickles my palate on each sip.
Flavor is similar to the nose with molasses, charred wood, brown sugar and a bit of lingering bready notes with maybe a hint of anice. Finish lingers and is enjoyable and I find that the glass is empty much sooner than I thought it would be for an 8.5% brew. Could be dangerous as its very drinkable and enjoyable.
Glad to have tried this tasty baltic porter.

 

 

 

 

Jet black, thick, than head left no lacing. Smells woody, smoky, chocolatey with coffee. Nice medium to full body. Moderate to low carbonation. Sweet, roasty, char, tree bark, earthy, chocolate and coffee flavor. Nice bitter and woody finish. Strange but wonderful.
