bierkoning (5985), La Tropica, Netherlands Jul 9, 2007 Tap, Café Morshuis Albergen. Almost opague with a grey, lasting head. Roast bitter flavor with a pleasant raspberry fruitiness. Just a bit thin. Roast bitter aftertaste. Not a very rich Baltic porter but very tasty. aubreya (676), Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA Jul 9, 2007 The color was a deep coffee black. The head was dark tan, foamy, frothy, and thick. The aroma resembled an imperial stout. It consisted of chocolate tones and roastyness. The flavor was soy sauce, waxy, bitter, coffee malt, and roasty. The palate was smooth. The finish was roasty. crazyvin (1245), New York, USA Jul 8, 2007 Bottle, It poured an opaque black/brown hue with a tan head which had some lacing. Aroma was very rich with a roasted mocha note. Flavor was sweet with cocoa with a pleasant hop bite. Finish was almost syrupy. swoopjones (1862), Buffalo, New York, USA Jul 7, 2007 12oz bottle. One of the best porters Ive had to date. Pours a black oil like color. Thick. Khaki colored head. Roasted malts abundance, coffee, chocolate. Delicious. Need more emacgee (1859), Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA Jul 7, 2007 Poured an oil black brew but lacked the viscosity. Had a thick brown creamy head. Resembled an ris (minus the thick head). The nose showed soy sauce prominently, a slight sweetness, dark sugars. The flavor was dark roasty, coffee, sweet, soy sauce. The palate was thinner than an ris and more carbonated. The finish showed the 7% but just barely. I was thoroughly impressed with this Baltic Porter. rmalloy (195), los angeles, California, USA Jul 6, 2007 Pretty solid Baltic porter. Tastes a lot like the Baltika porter. Some off metallic notes. Very balanced and drinkable. iep (229), Amsterdam, Netherlands Jul 6, 2007 Black body, with a lasting tan head. Good lacing. Malty aroma, with liqourice, vanilla, and a surprisingly strong hop presence. A taste of roasted malts up front, proceeding into slightly sweet vanilla/liqourice territory, and finishing quite dry with decent hopbitterness and a lingering roasty finish. Medium/thick mouthfeel, slight carbonation. Enjoyable porter. wetherel (1565), Encinitas, California, USA Jul 4, 2007 $5 bottle from Takanaya. Pours pitch pitch black with no head. Had some off butter smell, that went away after sitting a few minutes, and became a mild malt aroma. The taste is very dry of roasted grains.
