Bottle @ home. Pitch black appearance with a dark brown head that disappears pretty quickly. Roasted chocolate malty and quite nose. Milky, smooth mouthfeel. Dark roasted chocolate flavor that’s a bit milky and creamy. The roasty flavor comes through nicely on the finish and lingers somewhat afterwards. Good Baltic Porter.

starting to appreciate the coffee and raisin flavors of porter. this seemed to be a good authentic baltic porter, and it didnt dissapoint. first taste is of dark fruit, but as the taste lingers, the extreme bitterness kicks in. very enjoyable, and one that im looking forward to appreciating even more now.

Shared bottle. Black body with a two finger thick creamy head leaving a very good lacing. Wood, roasted, coffee, chocolate and flowers fills the nose. In the mouth milk chocolate, roasted malts and oysters notes are added to the aroma along with sweet, bitter and acidic flavors. Smooth to drink, the body is medium to full. Nice one.
