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.

a well done baltic porter. though light in alcohol content for the style, the brew is redeemed by its malty and smooth qualites. chocolatey aroma mixed w/ caramel, it is full bodied and very tasty.

This is altogether a decent porter. It seems a bit "thin" in every category. Aroma isn’t quite strong enough. The head isn’t large enough. The flavor isn’t bold enough. And the mouthfeel isn’t heavy enough. But still, it’s pretty good.

Deep black opaque body with a small, quick dark tan head. Vanilla, mocha, coffee aroma. Medium bodied, smooth mouthfeel. Sweet chocolate, vanilla flavor. Nice roasted sweetness. Slightly bitter, smooth finish. Not much like other Baltics IMO. Very good porter.

Pours a clear, black color with a no head or lacing. This beer truly has a great nose- roasty and smooth with hints of chocolate. Flavor is very similar with a smooth palate feel. It’s gets better as I enjoy the beer and it warms. This is probably my favorite porter to date.

Thanks, jah noth! Opaque brown/black with almost white head. Aroma subtle, but increasing as it warmed. Could small coffee, chocolate and other roated malty aromas. Nice flavor, some additional sweet, flowery aromas emerged once it was in the mouth. Almost no bitterness. A little too sweet for me.

Deep brown/black, off-white head. Aroma of chocolate and coffee. Taste was smooth, rich but not overly thick, full of cocoa powder and coffee. Very nice, not as intense as I had hoped, but pleasant.

Pours black with a one-finger off-white head. Aroma of molasses, dark chocolate, caramel, and toffee. The flavor is much like the aroma, with a strong and lasting toffee and chocolate aftertaste. Could be more "Imperial," but still very good.
