1.9pint. Pours blackish/red with a semi thick tan head. Armoa is light roasted malt Some caramel some sweet hops. Flavore Is sweet and light grain, roasted grain, carmel some fruit on the back end. the mouth feel is a light and dry. A pretty good porter. Would buy again

Bottle. Pitch black. Tall, fine, thick head. Not a strong aroma. Roasted malt, maybe a bit sweet but seems dry. Strong malt flavor. Very well roasted, very burnt. Quite sweet, with strong coffee taste. A bit too sweet for me, but loaded with flavor. Long-lasting burnt aftertaste, dry in the finish. Great malt taste.

Dark brown with a lasting off-white head. Aroma of caramel and bready malt. Sweet chocolate and cocoa powder flavour

Bottle shared by phaleslu, Thanks Peter! Pours a dark brown with a small tan head. Notes of roasted malts, malty gross coffee, malt balls, dark fruits, earth, and grain. Some light semen notes. Something about this was a little offputting.

Bottle from The Party Source. Pours a dark brown with a small tan head. Aroma of roast, malt, chocolate, dark fruits, sugar, and pinch of coffee grounds. The flavor follows suit, with more sweet malt and some caramel and alcohol. Medium-bodied, very smooth, and slightly syrupy. Roasty on the finish and in the aftertaste, also some alcohol. I tried this a little after the Utenos Porter and this is an improvement. I worried this would be crap after seeing another Baltika beer in a plastic bottle at the store, assuming this was just the big Russian brewer owned by a conglomerate; the last part may be true, but this was not bad at all. I’d go with an Okocim Porter over this, though.

Bottle. Thank you Nightfall. Pours black with a small creamy head and lacings. Nose is fruit, roast and chocolate. Smooth. Lots of dark fruits. Vaguely roasted and dry end. Tasty.

Bottle. Thanks Dolle! Pours deep reddish brown coloured with a small light brown coloured head. Aromas of coffee, licorice, caramel and some alcohol. Flavours of sweet malt, caramel, dark fruit and chocolate. A decent brew. Well done Carlsberg..

smells a bit like copper or is that just me. looks lovely biggest surprise from this beer is that for such a high alcohol content its very well balanced a massive burst of flavors which doesnt stay in the mouth a lovely roasted sweet aftertaste. i dont agree that its weak but for such a strong kick at the start the subtle aftertaste is a bit wierd. strong tastes of coffee, chocolate and alcohol an excellent porter to be had with respect very easy to drink yet keeps itself interesting.
