Tap as admiral stache. Dark brown pour with light brown head. Smells of toasted malts, chocolate and slight butter(?). Tastes of the same with bourbon notes. Very good.

The 2012-2013 version of MKE’s baltic porter is dominated by vanilla sweetness from first scent to smooth finish. It pours to a lovely, huge head that lasts and lasts. A side note: I hate to accuse the brewer of enjoying its own product too much and perhaps not paying attention to all details, but MKE Brewing recently updated the name of this beverage and on the six-pack cardboard holder refers to it as "Admiral Stache" and the label on the bottle as "Admiral Stash." Considering how good the Admiral tastes, though, why quibble?

2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottle poured a clesr reddish brown witha lasting creamy tan head. Aromas of carmel, oak, light fruittiness and light cola. Palate was light bodied and smooth. Flavors of carmel, light oak and a hint of fruittiness with a smooth finish. A very boring Baltic Porter, as well as a waste of Barrel aging.

Bottle. Dark pour, but pours a bit thin and the head is minimal. Nose is pretty nice - roasted malt and a bit of charred wood. Palate is moderate. Taste is roasty malts, and a bit of cigarette ash. Unspectacular.
