.5L bottle best before 8/20/08. pours a very dark opaque brown with a thin tan head. aroma of caramel and biscuit. tastes of roasted malts and a bit of chocolate. very smooth and silky feeling, though it leaves a thick feeling at the base of your throat. way too drinkable to be 7% abv. a nicely drinkable beer though it is lacking a bit in complexity.

4.4 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
This is a nice, smooth, very drinkable Baltic porter. It’s almost black with a medium light brown head that steadily dissipates to a foamy ring and wisps. The roma is very nice, molasses, chocolate, prunes, toast. It’s full but smooth and leaning lightly to the sweet side, faintly winey. The taste is nice, rather as above, mostly spicey with chocolate, molasses, and some fruit. It’s smooth and light despite the full taste and feel.

Bottle: Poured a deep black with a tan color head. The aroma is roasted malts and caramel. The taste is smokey and yet sweet and calky almost closer to a stout in my mind, but this was my first baltic porter.
