(Finland) Pours a nice black color with zero head. The aroma is of roasted malts, chocolate, vanilla, and caramel. Taste of chocolate big time,with caramel, and malts. The mouthfeel is very smooth and ends with a slight bitterness. This porter is well balanced and is recommended. :)

33cl. pours black with a nice creamy looking tan head. aroma is roasted malt cocoa and a hint of vanilla. mouthful is dark bitter chocolate, some coffee, with a lingering bitter finish. very nice robust baltic porter.

330ml Bottle: Aroma of chocolate, smoke, and burnt malts. Poured black in color with a medium to large-sized, dense, rocky, creamy brown head that lasted throughout. Opaque. Excellent lacing. Lightly sweet flavor. Tastes of chocolate, malts, slight soy sauce, sour milk, cream, roasting, a tad of vanilla, and a hint of bitter hops. Medium to full body. Thick, creamy, slightly dry texture. Soft carbonation. Malty, chocolate finish is a bit dry.

Thank you, mcbackus! Pours black with a fairly large brown head, lasting ring of foam. Aroma of dark chocolate, chocolate milk, almonds, vanilla, coffee-astringency, toast, just really really nice overall. Tastes similar with dark chocolate, dark rye toast, nuts, coffee, wood and finishes slightly astringent at first. Thankfully the finish evolves into this really nice bitter toasted almond flavor. Really nice aftertaste effectively counters any astringent elements. Medium bodied, but the creaminess makes this feel substantial and the carbonation is also moderate. Quite good!

Bottle. Pretty much a total black pour wtih a pretty big head. Aroma of delicious toastiness and coffee. I smell some vanilla and wood as well. Taste is fruity and malty as hell with a predictable flavor of chcolate. Good beer indeed.

33cl bottle: Heartily pours from the bottle to the glass. Builds a deep, near black body and a rising, foamy, thick brown head. Intensely roasted nose is worth savoring. Loads of fresh coffee, brown sugar, caramel, sweet fudge, brownie batter, strong vanilla. Thick, viscous body with a very clean finish. I love this style - loaded with complexity but is easy drinking and finishes fairly clean on the palate. Finishes with a touch of ripe plums and bitter grapefruit.

Smells of sweet, dark fruits, and roasted malt. Pours a thick black with a small tan head that diminishes quickly. Taste is more dark fruit, roasted ashy malt, and chocolate. Smooth and sweet with hardly any bitterness. Long, dry finish of chocolate and nuts. Excellent after-taste that lingers well after swallowing. My favorite Baltic Porter so far.

11.2 oz. bottle from Wine Warehouse. This is the Sinebrychoff Porter IV label. Nearly black pour with a one finger head. Roasted malt aroma with coffee and milky notes. Taste is roasted malts with coffee, caramel, milky, nutty and bitter hop notes. Medium body.
