Victory Baltic Thunder

Pours a wonderful dark brown with a white/ lite brown forming head. Good smell of toffee notes and many malts overwhelm this one. Good overall feel and not a long lasting flavor make the palate good overall. Good brew Victory.

decent beer. nothing special here though. I wouldn’t buy this a second time. Taste is barely worth mentioning. Tries to be smokey/ roasted but it seems to fail at that

Pours almost a jet black. You can see some ruby highlights. Medium thickness on mouthfeel. Mild carbonation. Aroma of dark roasted malts and mild chocolate. Flavor is accented by coffee, chocolate, dark fruits.

Bottle. Pours a deep brown/black, with a yellow-tan head with large bubbles. Aroma of smoky roasted malts. The flavor is a nice blend of malt flavors - smoky and sweet, with notes of chocolate and coffee. Tasty, but a bit subtle. Smooth, creamy mouthfeel. A very good example of the style.

22oz bottle. Pours adeep brown almost black, with a fizzy tan head. Light nose of dark fruits like plum, fig, black cherry and toasted malts. Medium/full in body.

Pours dark brown nearly black with a small light tan head. Aroma is roasted malt and a lot of chocolate and cocoa. A small bit of toffee and a hint of floral hop spiciness. Flavor starts with a bit of fig and dark plum and raisin fruit. Picks up a nice roasted chocolate and bitter cocoa notes. Finishes with a delightful coffee and nutty character. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Very nice baltic but a little thin bodied. Well balanced and rich.

I have actually wanted to drink this beer for a long time, but I have never seen it until now. Pours out a dark brown color without much of a head on it. Kind of weak in the smell, a little bit of chocolate, and thats about it. Kind of reminds me of the heavyweight version of this, but I dont think it is as good. Taste is sweet and has a little bit of alcohol. Coffee and chocolate are abound as well. Interesting beer, but perhaps not my cup of tea as much as I wanted it to be..

This is a really fine American Baltic porter, but no Pekuno’s Hammer, the late great offering from Heavyweight. Dark fruity aroma of figs and dates with some milk chocolate and caramel. Taste echoes aroma, but with prunes and espresso added in. Alcohol is hidden. Very nice.
