Very dark brown beer with a minimal tan head. Aroma is sweet and roasty. Flavor is sweet, with roasted malt, dried fruit, and dark chocolate. Finish is roasted malt and alcohol warmth. Sweet for a porter, but nice nonetheless.

Baltics aren’t really my thing... now that that’s out of the way. Pours a thick brown, with minimal head, but nice lacing. Aroma is burnt sugar. Flavors are sweet and malty, with little to no hops. This is sweeter than I prefer a porter to be. The finish on this beer is nice, as is the texture. I prefer the roasted nutty flavors of standard porter, over the "clean" flavors the lager yeast gives this beer.

Roasty and very sweet. Nice and creamy. Seems to be very consistent. Bottle or tap and each bottle I have is the same. Almost milky, smooth. A nice bite of alcohol but is hidden well by rich body and full flavor. Some lingering burnt coffee but is still sweet.

pours black in body with a thick tan mousse a top. viscosity is evident while pouring. aroma is sweet toffee, butterscotch, raisins, and a smooth roastiness. flavor was much the same as the aroma. actually a little too sweet for the first half, but it dried out and really started to grow on me as I got to the finish. Finish was more refined toffee, burnt sugar, that really lingered into a long finish. full bodied. Pretty good beer, but not excellent.

Clear, deep brown appearance with a small, light brown head. Malty aroma full of dark fruit, molassass and caramel. Sweet, malty, fruity taste with hints of chocolate and caramel, even some nuttiness buried beneath the sweetness. Full bodied mouthfeel with a good kick from the abv. Lingering finish allows time to dwell on the positives.

Pour was nice and dark with a wonderful tan head. Aroma was of alcohol and brownies. Flavor began with an alcoholic kick that finished more with the porter flavor of chocolate, malt, and light molasses. Decent brew except for the alcohol dominating the aroma and flavor. Also a bit high for a porter. Body was too thin to support that much alcohol. Probably won’t go out of my way to buy again

Pours black with tan head that dissipates readily. Both sweet and bitter flavors. Very nice mouth feel and clean finish. Very strong and too much for drinking alone. It should be paired with strong, maybe salty, food.

(POLAND) Pours black with med tan head. The aroma is of molasses, chocolate, and licorice !! The flavor has a sweet cookie dough / alcohol taste, with a ultra smooth palate and some nice lacing, The finish is dry, But mild. Overall i would say it’s refreshing and well balanced.
