Aldaris Porteris

Brewed by Aldaris (Baltic Beverages Holding - Carlsberg)
Style: Baltic Porter
Riga, Latvia

Little over the top on sweetness for this beer. Even for the style. Poured with a huge light tan, foamy, frothy head and some lace. Color is dark mahoganey. Aroma is malty and a little roasty. Flavor is more full and also includes some caramel and dark ripe fruit. Malty sweetness rules here. Body is full and lush with good carbonation. Finish is exactly what you’d expect in this case - same as above. Almost tastes and feels like a milk or cream beer. Bit sweet for a session.

Bottle in a snifter: Pours dark black with large off white head. Arouma is grainy, lager yeast and chocolate. Flavor is pretty good. Chocolate and licorice. Finishes with alcohol kick.

Bottle BBE 12/08/2008. Opasque dark brown beer with a beige bubbly head. Aroma has suryp, dark chocolate and a bit alcohol. Sweet flavor is malty, nutty, chocolatey some to mention. Medium bodied. Enjoyable and non-expensive beer.

Pours black with brown head, the nose is malts and caramel. The taste is burned and choclate mocha flavor. This is a great baltic porter and I found it at a wonderful price.

A deep dark porter with a thick creamy moka head. In aroma, pleasant plums and chocolate with warming alcohol, light signs of oxidation and metallic notes. In mouth, a nice sweet chocolate with an oily mouthfeel, some licorice, a bit on the light side but pleasant. Bottle shared with probstk and Michael, Oct. 7 2009.

almost black color, sweet, with chocolate flavour. large beige head that lasts. Too sweet for my taste.
