3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Pours a nice almost black brown with medium tan head, decent lacing. Aroma of roasted malt, chocolate, vanilla, sugar, slight coffee, and alcohol. Flavor matches well, but is pushing cloying in sweetness. Can’t beat the price, but really have to be in the mood for this one.
2.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Purchased at Bevmo for $1.97. Best priced baltic porter ever? Probably, however the value just isn’t there. Pours practically jet black with an extremely minimal head. Aromas that come across are fruity yeasts (think a hot fermented carribean stout), chocolate, and some hot/fusel alcohols. Taste reflects this, and yet remains quite sweet. Some definite bourbon notes. Lots of fusel/hot alcohols, and buttery. When it is colder, it is like drinking rubbing alcohol. Not very good, even for $1.97.

500 ml bottle purchased at Total Wine Pembroke Pines, FL for $2.99 Very good!
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
I bought this based upon a previous recommendation and at $2.69, why not? Dark black, looks like a porter to me. It smells like syrupy molasses but it is faint yet sticky. The flavor is super malty and complex, fruity, nuts, molasses, brown sugar, what the hell? I guess I don;t know much about Baltic porters because this is much different than what I expected but it is still good. My first Polish beer!

Aroma has some bitter chocolate, toffee and nuts. Dark pour with mocha head. Flavor has much more toffee than expected, with chocolate coming in far behind. A little almond presence at the finish. Creamy palate with bubbles galore. Bravo!

Big gazumping beer. 500 ml bottle took me an hour and a half to drink. The ABV is huge and lurking in there. Chocolate mocha predominates with a bit of sweetness. Quite liked it as a winter sipper. Not a session ale.
3.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottled, 500ml at Pod Wawalem, Krakow. Black with tan head. Strong but slightly musty beer, there are big alcohol flavours with yeasty, fruity, sweet notes, carboardy and CO2, there is bitterness in the close. Could be better though.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
Sweet, chocolate mocha covered cherry flavor and smell. Dark as hell, strong flavor that tingles the roof of your mouth, but still thin like a lager. great product.
