| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Aug 18, 2008 Updated: Sep 27, 2008Bottled, thanks oh6gdx! Very black, small beige head. Aroma of dark chocolate and coffee. Medium sweet with dense malt. Lots of heavily roasty ground coffee. Long salty bitterness. Typical Baltic Porter with it’s simple but powerful flavour, that otherwise less interesting brewers seem to master. This is really good! Laitilan Wirvoitusjuomatehdas are certainly moving in the right direction!
