Commercial Description:
This thick, rich, dark ale was brewed with a special German roasted malt which has had its husk removed, producing a very smooth, sweet flavor. We also used British crystal malt, which contributes some caramel flavor, and spiced the brew with Lublin hops from Poland. This strong beer boasts flavors of chocolate, coffee and licorice, and is best enjoyed in moderation paired with full-flavored grilled meats or with chocolate. 7.5% alcohol by volume

Black color, tan head, nice lacing. Nose of licorice, astringent roast and bitter raw cacao chocolate. The flavor has way too much astringency and it is far too dry to be called a baltic porter. The tail is starchy and the finish is lacking. I’m not sure why they labeled this a baltic porter but it seems more like an imperial dry stout. I sense that Darrin is somewhere entering his rating simultaneously, I better hurry!

1 ltr. swing-top 2005 bottle poured a very dark nearly opaque brownish black with a small lasting tan head. Aromas of mocha, dark chocolate, light licorice and a hint of smoke. Palate was medium bodied and smooth. Flavors of roasted malt, mocha, bitter chocolae, hint of licorice and light smoke with a smooth lingering bittersweet finish.

Bottle: Very dark brown, moderate to thin beige head, spotty lacing.   Mild cocoa nose, softer wintergreen or spearmint.   Moderate cocoa tongue, but not as hearty as other examples.   Body and mouthfeel are quite big however.   Roasted malt and woody finish.   Not so much a Baltic Porter, but a Porter none the less.   Still enjoyable.   Thanks for sharing Ken!

750ml bottle via trade with Indiana_Red! - Thanks Ken! Pours deep dark brown with not much head at all. Aroma is chocolate, coffee, and a bit of pine hops. Nice smooth blend of flavor between coffee and chocolate with a nice bitter hop pine finish. Palate is medium bodied and quite drinkable not thick at all. Just drinkable and smooth on the palate. Very nice...

Courtesy of Indiana_Red <P> Aroma is very malty, chocolatey and slightly roasty. Smells like ice cream malt quite a bit. Deep black with slight ruby hues and a thumb thick, but quickly fading tan head. Fore is burnt and bitter. Hops are very piney and strongly concentrated. Chocolate malt and cocoa through the middle and into the finish. Powdered ice cream malt lingers in the finish.
