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.

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.

Sep 4, 2009 2009 bomber... pours a dark black with a quarter inch tan head... big aromas of roasted coffee and malts... medium body with some licorice and sweet malts up front while fatter and richer over the top with big coffee notes and a much deeper body... some dark fruit and raisin start to develop towards the back with a strong biting finish across the tongue... leads you to drink more and experience this again... superb Baltic Porter.

Sep 4, 2009 A big fan of Smuttynose and was surprised to see a beer of theirs in the store I hadn’t had. Nice label design. Dark coffee smell. When I tipped the bottle, the darkest night slipped down and thickly filled my glass. Black. I lifted the glass to the light, but, like a hefty patch of dark matter, none got through. A brown slick comprised of the tiniest of bubbles coated the surface. Upon first gulp, the fizziness introduced itself and managed to sneak in its flavorful malty, molasses-y, earthy friends. A few moments later, a warming feeling accompanied by a mild chalky mouth feel sauntered up and hung out for a while. Good stuff. I feel lucky to have such an amazing brewery nearby.

Sep 4, 2009 Appearance is deep black with a dark tan head. Aroma is black coffee with a slight dark chocolate smell. Taste is bold and bitter up front like a strong roasted coffee. In the finish it’s a little sweet but still bitter like strong bittersweet chocolate. Overall, excellent beer would definitely recommend.
