Commercial Description:
Native to northern Europe, Baltic porters evolved from British porters once exported to the Russian hinterland. Unlike their British cousins, Baltic porters are often brewed as lagers, the tradition we’ve followed. This beer is big, bold & smooth, with malty flavors reminiscent of coffee, dark fruit & raisins.

Botella. The colour is pitch black with a medium well lasting light brownish head. The aroma is bustling with roasted malt along with coffee and chocolate. Very good well filling mouthfeel. The flavour has lots of roasted malt along with chocolate, coffee, coffee, bitter hops and some dark fruits. Tasty brew indeed.

Pours a deep black color like used motor oil. Tall brownish tan head. Powerful aroma of roasted malts, chocolate, and hops. Thick consistency. Roasted malts, hops, and chocolate flavors. Big, complex. Very stout-like. Great beer!

Pours to a dark ruby body with a thin creamy brown head. The flavor is black patent malts, fresh ground coffee that never got brewed, bitter black chocolate, English walnuts, very balanced with some nice hops. The aroma is bittersweet dark chocolate/black patent malts. Some nutty walnuts. The palate is fairly well balanced with bitter, nutty, oily, and dry components. A nice Baltic porter.

Bottle from Sean. He bought this one for me when he was in PA, and despite ass raping me with his mark up + PA markup, I was such a nice guy I figured I would share it with him. Pours out black with a small tan head. Smell is rich, malty, chocolate, coffee, and sweetness - no alcohol at all is present in this one. Taste sweet and rich, very smooth, easy to drink, high carbonation - yet not overwhelming. A great beer from a brewery that doesnt get much recognition (which is fine with me - more for me). Thanks Sean. Glad I drank 21.75 oz and you got the other .25 for your rating.

2008 Bottle shared by Ross. Nice bold fruity nose. Pours dark brown with a retentive light brown head. Medium bodied with a smooth creamy texture. Flavor of sweet dark chocolate, milk, and dried coffee grounds. Smooth, lagery, and dusty finish. Simple but solid, and an authentic Baltic to boot.

Bottle. Courtesy of Missdolle. Pithc black in colour with a medium beige head. Lots of roasted malts in aroma with notes of coffee and chocolate. Smooth bodied. Flavour contains a great roastyness that together with the chocolate, coffee and smoky notes makes this a great beer indeed!
