Butters (1622), Virginia, USA Sep 7, 2009 Bomber sampled at Butters’ 1500 / MmmcKay’s 200 tasting. Near black pour with wispy tan head. Notes of expresso, rich milk and bitter chocolates, roasty oats, a little boozy, but not overpowering. Medium chewy creamy body. Great beer at a reasonable price is a terrific combonation in my book. smith4498 (822), Miami, Florida, USA Sep 7, 2009 Pours dark brown with light brown head. Aromas of chocolate and coffee. Similar flavors with some dark fruits and alcohol. Moderately sweet. Medium to full body with mild carbonation and a nice creamy mouthfeel. ScottyP (314), Brentwood, Tennessee, USA Sep 7, 2009 Pours an oily dark brown with tan head. Aroma of roasted malts, brown sugar, hints of coffee, dark fruit. Similar taste, very warming. Very good stout, er, I mean baltic porter. MmmcKay (269), Brentwood, Tennessee, USA Sep 7, 2009 Pours black with a reddish tan head. Smells of smoke, dehydrated coffee, instant coffee. Nice long creamy mouth feel. Spice, coffee, clean flavors. Surprising for this style. Expected more cloying flavors. Good stuff. Barrios (852), Nashville, Tennessee, USA Sep 7, 2009 Pours a lasting ring of tan head with a dark brown body. Aromas of roasted malts, come coffee. Flavor is toast, coffee, roasted malts, some brown sugar, and a note of soy sauce. Sticky, slightly bitter finish. lamas (709), Adams Morgan, Washington DC, USA Sep 7, 2009 22 oz. bomber. Bottle-conditioned in: 2009. Pours an oily, VERY deep mahogany with a thick mocha head. A rich aroma of roasted coffee, raisins, dark chocolate, vanilla beans, and a touch of grapefruit. Medium to full-bodied and silky smooth. The flavor starts with some sweet caramel, raisins, and molasses. Dark chocolate and coffee follow. Some sour grapefruits at the end. A roasty, lingering dryness finishes things off. A bit of warming alcohol is apparent. JMFG (1514), Florida, USA Sep 6, 2009 Bottle. Black pour with a moderately thick dark tan head. Nice aroma of mild powdered cocoa, slight chocolate. Nice mouthfeel. The taste is quite chocolately and is more intense than the aroma would let on. A very rich, very well put together baltic, I’m going to try and stock up on these. darn1207 (528), Tallahassee, Florida, USA Sep 5, 2009 bomber. oily brownish-black pour with a sturdy looking medium tan head that disappears quickly. aroma is dark chocolate and fruit - with hint of toffee. taste is slick chocolate and cocoa. then bitter coffee and alcohol finish. light peppery spices too. interesting.
