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.

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.

Nice aroma of chocolate, roasted coffee, raisin, malty. The appearance is an attractive deep brown/black, tan head. The flavor is chocolate, fruit, raisin, coffee, cream, light roastyness. The finish is sweet, with a bitter chocolate, and roasted coffee bittering, and a relatively small hop component, which takes a minute to surface. Nice thick, creamy mouthfeel. Excellent representation of a great style not so easy to find.

Bottle shared by Crosling, thanks man. Poured a deep brown/black color with a moderate tan head that diminished to a thin layer. Aroma of chocolate malt, some caramel, light brown sugar, some moderate dark fruit (plum, grape, and fig) and a hint of yeast. Smooth, lightly sweet entry with some chocolate malt and some light toffee/caramel that transitions into a moderate fruitiness (plum, red grape) that finishes smooth with some light roasted coffee. Moderate carbonation. Smooth, thick, and full on the palate. Definitely a good beer, I could use a couple of these.

Happy 4th everyone! Picked this one up at Greens on Ponce, 22 oz. Tried this last night; this was the best porter I have ever had! Holy crap, poured like a stout. Nice chocolate head that looks amazing. Very creamy and smooth palate. Has a lovely palate. Ah....so creamy it is great. The beer has a very pugent ash/roast/stout aroma. This beer is just insane. Can’t belive Smuttynose is offering this one. Not so much coffee, but a lot of ash and roast flavor(s). Can’t believe this porter, but very good. Nice smooth ash/stout/roast flavor that just lingers on the tongue. The alcohol is hidden well. The beer is just so smooth it is insane. Overall, if you have a chance to get this porter do not be a fool and NOT purchase it!. This beer has the best roast/ash aroma that I have ever had. Very much an amazing beer. Cheers everyone!

Aroma is strong, malty, slightly smoky and chocolaty with a hint of yeast and quite appetizing. It pours an opaque dark chocolate brown, just about sable, with a very thick, if not too persistent, tan head. Flavor is chocolaty and a little sweet with an undertone of roast coffee. Texture is thick, oily and strongly tingly so it practically dances down the pipes. Recommended!
