Lancaster Baltic Porter

Pours pitch black with a thick beige head. Arom of oatmeal, roasted malt, coffee and chocolate. A lot of oatmeal up front followed by roasted coffe and chocolate maltiness and a swet creamy finish.

Pours darker brown with a small tan head. Feint aroma of coffee and chocolate. A little more hop in the taste thatn I had expected. Still mostly dominated by a roasted coffee and dark chocolate flavor. Nice warming feel also without a strong alcohol taste. Very enjoyable porter.

Draft at the brewpub. Deep brown color with ruby edges and tan head. The aroma is roasty malty and chocoffy. The flavor is roasted dark malty, with hints of dark chocolate, coffee, and a very slight rauchy finish. Notably complex and well balanced for this style.

On tap. My first Baltic-style porter. Opaque garnet in color, which surprised me - I was expecting something darker. Not too much aroma, but hints of chocolate/mocha up front. Very, very nice. A very enjoyable brew.

Draught @ Brewery: Poured cloudy dark brown/ruby color with average white head, that lasted for a while then diminished. Excellent Lacing. Smelled of roast and choclate. Malty flavors of molasses, choclated, and nuts, with resiny ops, and a bit of smoke. Easy to drink. Medium body with cremy, texture, and lively carbination. Overall, a pretty good porter.
