Smuttynose Baltic Porter

Waited a long time for this even though I bought it months ago. Chocolate. Big flavors. Strong. Lovely.

Bomber courtesy of hellbilly. Pours a crude oil black with 2 finger brown head but not much lacing. Nose is roasted coffee, chocolate and burnt malt. Taste is mild coffee, some dark fruits, chocolate and toasted grains with a slightly bitter dry finish. Full, creamy mouth feel. Very warming. This stuff is fantastic – thanks Joshua!

Bomber, 2008 vintage. Near black with a nice brown head that lasted the duration. Nose is a bit sweet, like bitter chocolate, some coffee and roasty malt. Rich coffee and chocolate flavors, a plummy fruit note. Very silky body, rather full. I shared this with a non-beer geek, and he was blown away. Delicious!

22oz, Bottle Conditioned in 2008 thanks to notalush, thanks! Deep brown pour--black in the glass--with a 1/2 finger tan head, fading to a thick ring and film. Coffee, raisins, tar, chocolate, vanilla, and a hint of soy in the aroma--sorry to list, but this was a big conglomeration of the above, with maybe a hint of piney hops--quite tasty. Flavor continued with most of everything and some light flower petals. Not too sweet, and not overly bitter--though it does lean a bit towards the sweet side. A little more ash in the finish than I would’ve liked--still a little piney and dry, with a bit of alcohol noted. Full body with moderate carbonation. An excellent beer, that I would compare to Ruby Black

Thanks iowaherkeye for sharing. The body was black with an orange brown head. The aroma was chocolate chip pancakes with some massive malt. A little bit of rasins also come into play. The taste was chocolate and malt with some roasted nuts. This had a nice and thick body. Definitely a sipper, but solidly made.
