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. Share one with your comrades!

(Botle 65 cl) Courtesy of MissDolle. Pours completely opaque black with a light brown head. Vinous aroma of hard roasted malt and a little vanilla. Medium-bodied with sweetish roasted malt, vanilla and a little licorice. Malt bitter finish. 230808

Very dark brown with thick dark brown head. Chocolatey, coffeeish nose with a slight (and rather unfortunate) phenolic note. Hot, with a harsh astringent coffee bean note. Unbalanced - not enough residual sugar. More of an impy, and a crap one at that. For one of my favourite breweries and coolest beer styles, this is a huge disappointment.

(22oz bottle, vintage 2008) Large brown head atop solid black body. Aroma is medium sweet, espresso, chocolate, cream. Taste is moderately sweet, rich, chococoffee, some plum, caramel, faint smoke. Some alcohol warming. Smooth, full body with a lovely creaminess and some syrupiness. What a great beer!

Opaque black color, beautiful creamy expresso head, lace. Chocolaty, a bit milky aroma. Very liquerish palate. Roasted, burnt malty flavors. Milky flavors like in some sweet stouts. A bit sticky finish. Smooth and balanced, although not very complex.
