Commercial Description:
Native to northern Europe, Baltic porters evolved from British porters once exported to the Russian hinterland. Unlike their British cousins, Baltic porters are often brewed as lagers, the tradition we've followed. This beer is big, bold & smooth, with malty flavors reminiscent of coffee, dark fruit & raisins. Share one with your comrades!

Dark, dark pour and bubbly head. Tart aroma including notes of anise, chocolate and soy sauce. Maybe chicory (?) sweet chocolate, slight hope finish and some roast. Very easy to drink in comparison with something like Duck Rabbit.

22. Thanks, Riverside! Jet black. Thin, moussy tan head. Big roasty, chocolatey, pruney nose with tons of coffee. Medium body, firm carb, very clean and drinkable. Chocolate, roast, fresh ripe pie cherries, and prunes on the mid-palate, along with a shit-ton of coffee. Long coffee finish.

TFODRBSG08 Courtesy of MissDolle. It’s pitch black with a creamy head. The aroma has notes of roased malt, chocolate, mark fruits and licorice. The flavour has sweetness, notes of roasted malt, chocolate, licorice, dark fruits and it ends on a sweet and slightly roasted bitter note. A really nice baltic porter.

2008-09-28. Pitch black body with a modest dark tan head. (4+) Aroma is big up front and gets shy later, has a lightly acidic note to dark malts, touch of mocha. Flavour is rather nice, rich sweet malt base with accents of acidity and hoppy bitterness, notes of herbal or anise in the back. Smooth medium body. Rather nice. Bottle from Premier Gourmet, Buffalo

Botella. The colour is pitch black with a medium well lasting light brownish head. The aroma is bustling with roasted malt along with coffee and chocolate. Very good well filling mouthfeel. The flavour has lots of roasted malt along with chocolate, coffee, coffee, bitter hops and some dark fruits. Tasty brew indeed.
