Commercial Description:
Our imperial, Baltic-style porter is inspired by the strong, dark brews exported from Great Britain to Eastern Europe in the 18th and 19th centuries. Rich and flavorful with upfront notes of chocolate, caramel and toffee.

Dark brown pour with thick tan head. Aroma is chocolate and malt and not much else. Medium mouthfeel with nice, smooth finish. Taste has chocolate, dark fruit, and nutty flavor to it. Good beer.

Big Bottle. Pours very dark with ruby edges, medium white head, some lacing. Aroma is malty, coffee and chocolate, slight caramel. Flavor hints more toward coffee, but is subtle, and the alcohol is well hidden.

Draught at the SPH Brewpub. Poured an almost completely opaque black with a cream coloured head. Aroma was the expected nutty / coffee one would expect of this style. Bitter to dry flavour.

What a beer, I loved it. It had a black body with tan head. It was simply delightful, with a gentle chocolate taste, and somehow there was almost a little cherry taste to it.

very dark black body with no head. The aroma is nutty with a little coffee and a bit of an oxidized and cherry aromas. This beer is a lot lighter than I expected, but would be much better if there wasn’t this little hint of oxidation.

Opaque black with thin brown head. Aroma is toasted chocolatey malt... rather sweet. Taste is slightly bitter up front, with toasty biscuit and a dry, lightly soapy finish. $6/22oz

Bomber. Pours a dark amber black with small beige head. The aroma is chocolate, nuts, black cherry, a mellow sourness, some caramel and toffee. The flavor is tart fruit and caramel up front with a bit of a zing to it. Some ash and chocolate notes come out after that. The finish is like oily nuts, maybe walnuts, with a bit of a dry chocolate to it. Toasty and dry aftertaste. Pretty good.

Bottle. Dark brown color with good head that quickly disappears. Cocoa/molasses, coffee, and dark fruit. But really faint and tough to figure out. Taste is similar with milk stout/lacotse note. Better and more expressive at room temp. Alcohol comes in strong at the finish. Thin to medium body.
