Oct 20, 2009 Bomber - Pours a quite dark black/brown in color with a small light tan head that quickly faded to a thin rim around the top of the beer. Aroma is a heady mix of dark roasted malts, coffee and dark chocolate. Flavor is slightly sweet and malty to start and then the bitterness of the roasted malts fills in. Plenty of dark fruits and the flavor of dark chocolate add to the experience. Alcohol is not apparent at all. Finishes slightly bitter with roasty malts. Intensely flavored. I have also tried Heavyweight’ Perkuno (now retired) and I like this one even better...

Oct 17, 2009 Thick dark brown with red highlights. Foamy light brown head. Hints of purple.
Beautiful dark chocolate backed with a bitter dry coffee. Bitter first, then sweet at the end.
Sweeter than expected. Has a dark berry, red wine hit at first. Burst of balanced flavor as it warms. Quite strong; really bursts. Berry sweetness in the aftertaste.
Thick and oily. Chewy. A little burn on the way down. Really strong but full of flavor and balance. A very very nice brew.

Oct 17, 2009 22oz. bottle, best by Dec. 31, 2008. Pours a thin dark brown with a small beige head. Virtually no lacing. Aroma strong in licorice, molasses, and roasted malts. Flavor of licorice, molasses, toffee, caramel, brown sugar. Bitter and alcoholic finish. This one is rather boozy. Solid Baltic Porter, but not spectacular...
ksurkin (355), Norfolk, Virginia, USA
Oct 16, 2009 bomber from grape & gourmet. pours a deep, dark, translucent brown with a half inch khaki head and solid lacing. aroma is very nice with sweet roasted malts, toffee, vinous red fruits, and notes of plum, molasses, and smoked meat. flavor is very good as well with loads of sweet toffee and butterscotch candy up front with fruity notes of tart red apple, plum, raisin, and fig backed by notes of roasted coffee, nuts, and rum cake. palate is smooth and nicely carbonated by maybe a bit thin for a beer this big but leaves a lingering, roasted finish. overall, a very nice baltic porter.
