3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Can from Premier. Pours thick chocolate brown. Lovely Aroma of coffee and chocolate. Long lasting head. Creamy mouthfeel, toffee. Coffee works, just why so high an ABV? Strong porter, yes. Good drinkability.
Baltic porter?I don’t know.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Can. 3/24/13. Pours opaque brown-black with a thick fluffy beige head. Aroma is dry; vanilla, cocoa, spicy, bitter, bread. Taste is complex; bitter chocolate, unsweetened vanilla, coffee, spicy, long bitter chocolate finish and some booze. Very dry; very bitter. While the alcohol is well-hidden, the flavors on their own are pretty aggressive. This porter caught me by surprise and not really in the best of ways. Aggressive but still very flavorful. I wish I could score this higher.

12oz. Can. Dark brown pour with a thick tan froth. Love the aromatics on this beer. Huge well rounded roasty coffee nose without any harshness. Flavor is similar to cold brewed coffee with a light roasted character and minimal bitterness. Some cocoa notes in the background as well. Only real knock on this beer is that the body is too thin and watery for the big coffee punch. Still an enjoyable beer that I’m glad I got to try.

Dark black pour. Completely opaque. Thick khaki head with good lacing. Very chocolaty aroma. Plenty of roastiness. Noticeable alcohol aroma. Medium to thick mouthfeel. Very roasty oaky beginning. Very chocolaty middle and finishes with coffee. Can tell its cold brewed coffee. No bitterness. Mild booziness throughout.

3.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pour is dark brown with a nice frothy tan head. Nose is dark chocolate, coffee, malt and roasted goodness. Taste is bitter at first from the hops but mostly black coffee. Hint of sweetness with bitter dark chocolate as well. Mouthfeel is medium and lively with nice carbonation. Certainly a lighter porter and not nearly as viscous as a stout. Nice drinkable beer with no real alcohol burn from the 10% abv.

3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Pours dark brown/black with a medium lt tan head. Aroma has roasty coffee and hints of dark fruit...slightly boozy and a faint hint of magic marker. Flavor follows suit...i like the coffee but the dark fruit doesnt seem to work with it. Mouthfeel is medium and the finish is roasty/burnt and warming.
