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.

500 ml bottle from Jonathan Ron in Brielle. Pours a clear deep dark brown with only a small lacing of mocha colored head which leaves no lacing what-so-ever. Aroma is super sweet malts with onlt slight roastiness and loads of sweetness, sort of like Hershey syrup lite, nutts, slight grains. Medium bodied with the syrupyness only coming out as this brew really warms up. Flavor is similiar to the aroma with a lot of swetness and less roastiness and a slight alcohol touch. Good stuff especially considering the $1.75 price for 500 ml.

Reddish brown with a slowly diminishing light tan head. Aroma of caramel, roasted malts and coffee. Taste of caramel, chocolate, raisons and mild alcohol. Medium body is smooth and creamy but it was a step below some of the better Baltic porters I’ve had recently.

16.9oz bottle - Pours very dark brown almost black with a tall creamy tan head. Aroma of chocolate malts, some roasted nuts and a touch of molasses and brown sugar. Flavor is quite sweet, chocolate, caramel, molassess, some brown sugar. Palate is medium bodied smooth and creamy but very sweet. Some nice roastiness is there too but this was just a little sugary for a baltic porter to me. But for $1.49 a pint not bad at all.

Opaque nearly black with a huge Mocha colored head. Slight chocolate and coffee in the aroma, but overall it is somewhat weak. Flavor starts with a bitter somewhat salty start and finsihes with a touch of sweetness. Average if somewhat different Porter.

1st Tasted Porter from Russia. Very impressed by its smooth taste. Roasted. Sweet ...well balanced. Very Tasty.

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.
