Jul 12, 2006 Never had a Baltic Porter and I was quite pleased with this selection. Can’t comment on what everyone else hasn’t mentioned. Decent seasonal brew that will make me pay attention moreso next time it comes around.
axilla (962), New Providence, Pennsylvania, USA
May 20, 2006 Bel Air. Pour was a medium bodied deep mahogany/black color with a small bubbly tan head. Aroma was chocolate and raisins with some coffee. Flavors were sweet milk chocolate, roasted malts, vanilla, carmel, and raisins. Still, like most Du Claw, the body is the only thing keeping it from being great! Still a very tasty B.P. otherwise.

May 17, 2006 Big, meaty and dark with a tan head sitting on top. Heavy on the malt. Touch of the fruit way in the background. First few sips were awesome.However, the alcohol becomes more pronounced the more you drink.

Cobra (1060), In a van, down by the river, Maryland, USA
Apr 27, 2006 On tap at Bowie, Md release party.
Poured out thick, black, and had some reddish brown highlights. Tan colored head faded fast. Aromas are of espresso, dried plums, some cherries, strangely enough. Flavors are of roasted malts, dried fruits, slightly yeasty too. Medium mouthfeel, decent body, if a little thin. Finished somewhat chalky.
