I finally found this damn thing in Huntington. Well worth the search. Pleasant malty aroma with candy fruit notes. the appearance is an opaque dark brown, persistent tan/brown head. The flavor is roasted coffee, chocolate, malts, caramel. Very nice. Pleasant lingering palate with malt sweetness. Great porter.

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.

Dark brown pour with thick tan head. Very sweet malty aroma. Sweet taste with dark fruit and caramel malt with a little anise. This is a surprisingly good beer!

Brewed in Russia !!! Pours a sweet black color with a med dissipating tan head. Aroma of molasses, caramel, figs, and malts. Now the taste is much of the same but with some chocolate notes. The mouthfeel is kind of spritzy and finished on the dry side. Pretty good porter !!

Bottle, pours black with dissipating tan head. Smells of roasted malts, dark fruits, caramel, alcohol and slight metallic tinge. The taste reminds me of an imperial stout (albeit, a much lighter version) with its dark fruit and licorice flavor up front. Mouthfeel is smooth and rather light for a beer this dark; the beer has good carbonation and isn’t all that sticky. It finishes with a strong flavor of roasted malts, molasses and dark fruits. There is definitely a slight alcohol kick in the final notes. The lingering flavor seems to be a mix of dark fruits, caramel, alcohol and licorice. Pretty decent brew for my first baltic porter. I could’ve used a bit more malt presence, but overall pretty tasty.
