4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Pours a dark chocolaty brown with a nice fizzy tan head. Very nice sweet chocolate, toffee, roasted nuts, and an almost balsamic vinegar like sweetness (in a good way). Nice medium carbonation with a great smokey mouthfeel. Nice sweet mollasses, toffee, chocolate, fig, and raisens as well as a hint of alcohol. Very nice Baltic, and a great bargain @ $2.99
4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Another great baltic porter. Probably the best. Aroma is very stong. Appearance is pure black with a frothy head. Mouthfeel and flavor are very smooth and full of burnt hops with a thick malty aftertaste.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
The color was dark brown with dark red hues. The head was medium beige and creamy. The aroma was molasses, sweet malt, and roast. The flavor was molasses, roasty, and alochol. It was similar to a stout. The palate was smooth and the finish, warm.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
I was looking forward to this one given my lack of exposure to and the overall rarety of Baltic Porters. This one was what I perceived to be average if not a shade below. Poured a dark brown with reddish hues, lacked overall depth and complexity, you could see through it when held to the light. The head was thin, light brown, and a little frothy. The aroma was rich, roastey, a sort of sweet with some molasses. The flavor was roasted too, had some alcohol, also that sweet molasses taste. The palate was a tad syrupy. The finish was slightly warm from the 8% and maintained that sweetness. Overall an average brew with some nice elements.
3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours black with red around the edges with a moderate sized tan head. Aroma is caramel and dark malts, and a small amount of alcohol. Flavor is dark and roasty with a finish of alcohol. Overall a good baltic, but not the best for sure.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
500 ML Bottle-Poured a black color w/almost no head & moderate lacing. Standard roasted Porter aroma. Smooth rinking Porter w/traces of chocolate, coffee, licorice, & roasted malt. Easy drinking beer, not complex but solid & enjoyable. Alcohol was well hidden. Long roasted finish w/a touch of sweetness.
3.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Burnt malt aroma, dark black color. Chocolate and coffee flavors, with strong alcohol finish and lingering sweetness. Not bad, a good winter beer.
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
This porter poured a dark black colouir with a bi-coloured head. Frothy at the bottom and creamy on the top. To the nose there is cocoa, ripe fruit and wine. First taste was smooth and roasty with flavours of chocolate and roasted malt with a little hop finish. The palate is slighly bitter with the roast lingering through to the end.
