Victory Baltic Thunder

Bottle, from Julio’s. Good aroma, sweet. Cocoa, Milk Chocolate, Roasted malt, Paper. Clean orangy brown color. Small head that quickly faded to nothing, no lacing. Bitter sweet flavor. good roasty chocolate mix. Bit smoky. Medium body, creamy mouthfeel. Bitter dry finish. Tasty, flavor was best part. aroma didn;t open up the way I though and I thought was better cold. Still A good one to have

Bottle. Sweet malty aroma, brown sugar with raisin and a subtle stroke of chocolaty smoke. Slight herbal/licorice note. Coke pour with a noisy, soapy tanned head. Taste has obvious alcohol and chocolate and a medium-strength, earthy smoke tone. Yeasty component reminds much more Heavyweight than anything Victory has put out; indeed its Perkunonian predecessor is readily evident, though slightly tweaked (for the worse - the fruit just isn’t there). Thick, viscous malty body with a dry chocolate aftertaste, reminds a bit of DFH’s Palo Santo but less fumey / whisky-like. I’d keep this from the top shelf, but it’s still a warm, rounded offering that’s sure to please.

Lovely baltic porter. Not too thick and not too licorice-y for my taste. Aroma was strongly chocolate with a heavy roasted malt backbone. Pour was a nice near black with a one finger tan head that lasted half the glass. Taste was spot on in my taste. Nice medium mouthfeel with heavy chocolate and bitter roasted malt in the front. There is a nice lingering hoppy/bitter roasted malt in the aftertaste. Hides alcohol perfectly. Best of the style I’ve had.

I’m curious if this was mis-labeled. This tasked much more like a sweet, dark lager than a big bodied baltic porter. Mild sweet malt flavors - not very robust.

Deep red mahogany color with a big beige head. Nose of cereal grains, raisen, plum, and ash. Lots of fruit, with cherry, raisen, plum, banana, something spicey, lightly toasted bread and some earth hops that got overtaken in the finish by the burnt toast. Nice beer.

Dark brown body with a tan head. Sweet chocolate, roasted malt aroma with a bit of coffee. Starts out with a nice, moderate sweetness; overall a nicely balanced flavor. Excellent roasted malt, dry, lightly chocolatey finish.

Smells like salty tobacco, filtet mignot, and burnt coffee and tons of pepsi/cocacola. Very earthy and black tasting, though the beer is a light see-through black. It is very thin in the sense that it drinks easily but has a potent aromatic flavour that lingers long after it leaves your mouth despite it being light on its feet. Great beer, I will buy this many times. Victory for your taste buds!

Bomber. Aromas of near toasted malt, chocolate, coffee and some darkish fruit. Near opaque brown/black color with a tan head that fizzed into non-existence. Full bodied with chewy carbonation. Lots of toasted (but not burnt) malt flavor with coffee. Then some medium dark fruit peeks out. Although there is some sweetness, seems to come from fruit, the finish is actually rather dry. Balance is from toasted malt rather than hop I’d say. Rather tasty. Helps to give lager a good name.
