Big Thanks to kemoarps for this one from NBS BIF 3
Black and very thick looking with a finger of tan foam that's quick to kick back.
Full strength, delectable aroma that features a beautiful mocha flavor, but also has wonderful smoky roast, hints of yeast, cherry, and tobacco.
Wow a blast of chocolaty goodness leads all the flavors of the nose plus some raisin flavors added to the mix. The mocha is so delicious, and the flavors just get better as it hits room temp.
Creamy and strong flavored, med. carb., very easy drinking, killer clean finish.
Fantastic beer that I don't hesitate to give high recommendation

Poured from a can at fridge temp. Pours black with a good amount of tan head. Nose is chocolate, coffee, vanilla, marshmallow, and some roasty notes. The taste follows the nose. Chocolate fudge, coffee, a bit of black licorice, some charred wood, molasses, and some dark fruit. Really tasty. Mouthfeel is full bodied with a strong roasted malts aftertaste.

16 oz can, dated 1/18/22. Pours dark brown black with a medium frothy tan head that retains well and laces the glass.
The aroma is sweet roasted fudgy chocolate malts.
The flavor is sweet chocolate malt and black licorice with a heavy roast finish with a little coffee. The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with smooth carbonation.
Overall, I liked the chocolate, but the licorice seemed out of place and the roast was a little strong with not much coffee to it.

Pours an opaque dark cola brown with a finger or so of medium-tan colored head that was beautiful while it lasted. Plenty of roast on the nose, accompanied by chocolate and a hint of smoke. Plenty of roasted flavor with maybe a little more smoke than ideal of the style, but that's my gain, as I like burnt / smoke flavors quite a bit. Less sweet than I expected, likely due to the dominance of the roast. Feel is smooth and fairly full-bodied. Maybe a little imbalanced, but still a nice beer.

Pours a dark cola brown on the edge of black with a dense, creamy tan head that grips the glass all the way down. Beautiful beer. The nose has some cocoa, dark chocolate, a significant roasty coffee aroma.
The cocoa and dark chocolate are forward on the taste, but it’s that roasty coffee that appeals so much to me with this beer - it’s rich, decadent, and packed with flavor at 7% ABV. Outstanding stuff.

Beautiful dark brown pour, almost black, with a one inch tan head. Aromas of malt, slight coffee, cocoa, and an overall roasted quality. The taste was of big roasted malts with a finish on the bitter side. I would never have guessed that coffee, cocoa nibs, and chocolate were used in the brewing, but that's not a bad thing. A medium body kept it easy drinking. I would hesitate to call this a dessert porter, and instead just call it a solid baltic porter. Nicely done.

Adopted from my NBS post. Poured from a 500ml brown glass bottle into my spiegelau stout glass.
She developed a very thick, abundant light to medium brown head due to a slightly over-aggressive pour but it quickly subsided to a persistent cap of medium brown bubbles on top of the beer. I'm not getting much coffee from this beer but I am getting a lot of dark chocolates and caramel malts, especially in the back of the mouth. The mouthfeel is not thin but also not thick and it leaves a dry, almost crisp, feeling in the mouth after swallowing. I really enjoyed this beer!
