3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Black pour with slight light penetration around the edges - smooth but quite sweet, although that is not surprising for the style - a lot of vanilla bean and bittersweet chocolate - moderate coffee roastiness - milk chocolate finish and light hop pepperiness to compliment the light alcohol heat - pretty dang good Baltic porter.

Poured hazy reddish brown with off white head, aroma had notes of some sour grain, toffee, coffee, some chocolate and some slight roast. Taste is watery, slight notes of grain, sour roast, and a touch of vanilla sweetness, really unappetizing combo of flavors but it was ok.
