The Old Man and The Beer
Wolf's Ridge Brewing

 

16 ounce can, packaged on SEP 08 2025, thanks to Brutaltruth for this one! Served in a tulip-like glass, the beer pours dark brown/black with about an inch tan head. Head retention and lacing are both good. I like the aroma, the brew smells like roasted malt, coffee, dark chocolate and some earthiness. The taste is similar to the aroma, but there's also the addition of some licorice and a hint of blackberry. Taste also seems to have a little more of a kick here. Mouthfeel/body is medium, it's a bit creamy and has a moderate amount of carbonation. I liked this one a lot, definitely worth trying if you get the chance!

I tried this beer off the tapper at the taproom in downtown Columbus, Ohio as part of a five sample flight. It poured a dark amber with off white head that did not leave much lace. The sent has common baltic porter notes. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with semi sweet dark chocolate malt base and baltic presence. The mouthfeel was medium in body with good carbonation. Overall it is a great beer.

 

From the 16 oz can in a snifter. This solid Baltic pours a dark muddled
brownish black with a moderate head of khaki foam that settles to a thick ring,
thin dusty layer, and sports some light lacing. Nose of deeply roasted malts, dark
coffee, moderate char, deep roast, dark cocoa, subtle cream, and light herbal hops.
Flavors are excellent with dark cocoa, dark coffee, brulee, medium char, deep
roast, caramel malts, and herbal hops with a touch of brewers licorice. Mouth
feel is medium full leaning towards medium, medium light carbonation, smooth,
lightly coating, and finishing with a nice and balanced bitter malt and subtle
herbal hop note that is moderately dry.

Overall.....Don't worry old man, you'll get your big beer someday.

For a Baltic this is on point!

Cheers!
