3.5 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle. Light sweet, mild coffee. Average brown creamy head, mostly lasting, nearly black body. Moderate bitter start, in the middle a little bit sweeter, the aftertaste is again bitter, the taste of chocolate shines through; medium duration on the palate. Medium to full body, dry and creamy texture, soft carbonation. A nice one!
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle. Moderate roasted malts, grassy hops and doughy yeast aromas up front with ruby port and vanilla in the background. Large, light brown, rocky head with great lacing that hung around for the whole glass, color is black in poor lighting. Flavor starts and finishes moderately sweet. Medium bodied, creamy texture with lively carbonation and a slight metallic finish. A flavorful beer with some really nice aromas.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle. Aroma is molasses and caramel. Dark brown with a tan head. Roasty sweet malt flavor with a nice smokey finish. Medium to full bodied with a mellow carbonation and a smooth mouth feel. I didn’t know what to expect with this beer but I was pleasantly surprised.
3.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 13/20
This poured dark black sludge but with nice head and good lacing. Tasted of choloate and caramel mats with a little bit of smokiness but nothing too overwhelming.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Did I get something other than what was on the label? Not bad, but after getting the idea that this is THE Baltik porter I just felt way short changed. Thinnish and lacking in the elements I would hope to find - I’ll be getting another bottle for sure and updating this if my opinion changes.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
This was the 2nd from this brewery, and, better then the lower numbers. Typical of porters, this was dark, not black. Had mild roasted nose, and decent ABV, with no ABV tasted. This was ok.
3.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
1/2 L bottle. Black with a large frothy tan head. Aroma of caramel and roast malts with raisins and molases hints and a touch of alchohol. Flavor follows aroma with an almost candi sugar sweetness. Medium body with moderate carbonation. Finish is somewhat sweet with some roastyness and a bit of alchohol warming. Way sweet for a porter but still rather tasty.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle. Pours dark black red, with tan head. Aroma is coffee, molasses, pine, malt, banana. Flavor is molasses, banana, coffee, malt, slight anise, caramel, chocolate, nutty. Pretty good.
