Pours a deep black color with a medium top of cappuccino coloured head that dissolves quickly.
Aroma is of roasted malts, chocolate, dark and dried fruits and vanilla.
The taste is of roasted malts, chocolate/tofee and coffee in the back, while the the front has s nice sweetness with notes of dark fruits. The finish has a slight bitterness that is balanced great with the malty background, and leaves a long aftertaste. The flavours are greatly balanced. Mouthfeel is soft and oily with a medium carbonation and a full body.
A really great porter. Another surprise from Estonia.

The colour is black with a brown edge. The low head is beige, it sinks slowly leaving some nice lacing.

The smell is a bit sweet with notes of candy and caramel. Roasted malt and chocolate. Ripe bananas and apples.

The taste starts with passing notes of plastic and perfume, the roasted flavours are lighter than expected. Red apples and chocolate toffee, mixed dry fruits. Medium to full body. Grapefruit and orange peel in the malty aftertaste and clean bitterness. Hints of chalk, ginger snaps and banana peel in the finish.

The carbonation is strong; the long-lived bubbles are small. The liquid is smooth and somewhat thick.

Lots of grand flavours, all working well together. A highly balanced American porter!

Really dark brown color with tan head. Aroma has some brown sugar, dark malts and a hint of caramel. Taste is slightly roasty, even a bit acidic, mostly coffee like. Really balanced, just slightly bitter on the aftertaste. Medium to full bodied with low carbonation. Quite smooth porter with a really balanced taste.
