3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
comes in a nice russian looking specially shaped bottle with a logo carved into the glass (prettier than the RB photo)
clear very dark brown small light brown head.
aroma of brown sugar, dark roasted malts, semi-dark caramel, spicy note that could be very slightly smoke or peat, mild dark beer / porter aroma.
flavor is brown sugary sweet, natural licorice, faint roasted grains, hops bring some faint honey like flowery and some pine or grapefruit notes. ends hard roasted , faint charcoal,licorice, aftertaste is roast ,charcoal and licorice. Quite a lot of taste for a "macro" porter, but it does not get as heavy as some of the extreme brews of recent time. Nice licorice, roasted grainy porter with a good alc% and a nice roasted aftertaste.

Thin, right amount of sweetness, nice dark malts, but not maltiy enough. Such a light body : Was hoping that this one would at least be as good as non-baltic-region porters... It’s also a drag that I needed to buy 5 and 7 (awful beers - down the drain ones) to taste this one out...
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Tasted from a 500 mL bottle purchased in Aurora, Colorado. Deep coal black appearance with a creamy black head. Dark chocolate malty aroma with a hint of alcohol. Dark malty flavor with hints of chocolate and alcohol. Creamy mouthfeel and alcoholic finish. Not too bad of a Baltic Porter.

4.3 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Bottle from Beers of Europe. Dark brown pour with a beige head. Aromas of butterscotch, caramel, treacle toffee and soy sauce. Warm, inviting flavours of coffee, chocolate, demerara sugar and a little smoke. Very smooth indeed. Sweet, dry finish.Very tasty indeed. By jove this one went down very well amongst the lager heads in my back bar! Deservedly so too as this was a fine brew. It’s a shame there’s not more Baltic porters available over here.

Flaske 0,5l fra Alko/Enontekiö. Gave fra Bjørn Olav. Mørkebrun / svart. Høyt mokkafarget skum som varer veldig lenge. OK aroma med litt kaffe. Litt lite smak men en fornemmer kaffe & litt sjokolade. Smaksmessig en lettporter. Hvor ble det av alkoholen? Gjorde lite av seg.
