Apr 19, 2009 22 oz Bomber-black, cola like pour w/almost no head. Full aromas of chocolate, & roasted malt. Very flavorful, roasted malt, chocolate, coffee, & pine hops. Very woodsy w/a little bit of a smokey flavor. Very smooth, alcohol was well hidden. This was a very good brew, & I’ve used the word very way much too often in this review, but I’ve got a very good buzz which this excellent brew has very much helped along! Rich mouthfeel w/a long full finish w/a touch of carbonation.

does not count  Apr 14, 2009 First baltic porter in a while. Tastes much more like a lager than any porter (euros included) I’ve ever had. Pea flavor like pee flavor...
Not my favorite brew but it got me buzzed if that’s anything to anyone?

Apr 11, 2009 Taste 4/9 bottle. Looks: Opaque black with a few tan bubbles after the beer calms down. Aroma: Some wood, some fruit and a little chocolate and alcohol. Taste: Some spice hops atop the chocolate, fruit and vanilla. Not astounding but nothing amiss either.

Apr 8, 2009 Aroma of dark fruit, some chocolate,and light roasted malt notes. Perhaps light brown sugar notes are there as well. Pours dark brown with underlying red hues and no head at all. Dark fruit, roast, more dark fruit, a touch of metal, chocolate, alcohol, and a light coffee note round out the succession of flavors in this one. Lingering mix of roast and dark fruit in the finish, maybe a touch thin on the palate.

Apr 5, 2009 bottle - Pours very dark brown with a one finger tan head. The ample aroma is of roast malt and milk chocolate. It has a sweet chocolate malt flavor with a hint of vanilla and some good balancing hops. The full body and smooth palate feel make it a pleasure to drink. Excellent.

Apr 2, 2009 Bomber from Boston. Pours dark brown with a small head. Aroma is milky chocolate, roasts, and herbal hops. Flavor starts with cocoa, cream, and roasts, with later notes of ash, alcohol, and dark chocolate. Palate is medium, a bit thinner than I would have expected. Finish is long, with nice roasted character. Good.

Mar 30, 2009 Pours from the 22oz. bottle a root beer-ish dark brown with a one finger tan head that quickly fades away into almost nothing. Can’t tell what degree of carbonation is going on in the darkness. Aroma is of smoky yet sweet toffee-ish malts. Taste matches the aroma exactly...a pleasant, damned near perfect mix of smokiness & sweetness! There is a nice "sparklyness" on the tongue that is not too fizzy. The mouthfeel is down the middle...not too heavy, night too light. Now I see why there was such a clamor for this beer. I’m really not a porter fan, but if there are more like this, I soon will be! Cheers, Victory!!!
