Victory Baltic Thunder

22 oz bottle. Pours dark brown with foamy brown head. Aroma of chocolate, roasted malt and hops. Taste of roasted coffee and dark chocolate with bitter finish.

Bottle: Poured a dark dark brown almost black color with not a lot of head. The aroma was that of battery acid. The flavor was pretty good, with hints of sweet malt. A very good beer.

2008-04-04. Black body with a modest tan head that fades. (3+) Mild aroma, muted cocoa and roast. Tiniest touchstone of vinous fruit. (7+) Similar flavour with sweet malt accent by tangy notes and extra light roast, tiny notes of bitterness in the finish. (7+) Smooth medium palate. (3+) Pretty solid, and surprisingly drinkable, but lacks complexity and is somewhat less interesting because of it. Alas, Tupalev stole my "oomphy" descriptor leaving me with few adequate substitutes. :) Bottle from Premier Gourmet in Buffalo

Bottle, shared by and courtesy of Jerc and Mabel. Black, lots of red hues. Creamy brownish tan head. Nice aroma - sweet, roast, slight metallic notes. Very smooth body. Good taste - rich malt, sweet. Simple, not the "oomph" or complexity I was expecting. A solid straightforward Baltic Porter.

*liked it, would buy it* smell: like a lager. would have never guessed it to b e a porter app: fine, i like the hue! flavor: NICE. big suprise after the bland nose. nice dark malts. specially for a lager. it is not rich deep or copmlex.. just good.. but real good. this would be a great session beer. not much of a bitter to it. its smooth and easy. my dogs reaction pushed my score from a 6 to a 7 pal pal: fine bit spritzy OA: fine simple beer. good job.

I think I got this as a bonus rom adrian910ss. Pours cola brown with a finger thick, cream colored head. Nose is complex, with brown sugar, molasses, dried fruit and roasted malt. The flavor is similar and very smooth, with a warming sensation following in the earthy, lingering finish. Good beer.

bottle poured into a Duvel glass. pours a very deep brown/nearly black with one finger to tan head. smells of caramel, brown sugar, and espresso. flavor is a nice roasted bitterness that has a sweetness around the edges. has an odd mouthfeel, it is both astringent and a bit chalky at the same time. I’ve never had a baltic porter before but don’t really notice a difference from "regular" porter save for it having more of a roasted character. not bad though.

Bottle. Translucent mahogany color with thin off white head. Aroma is heavy roasted malt with notes of coffee and smoke. Taste is smoky and very dark and complex with accents of herbs and slight alcohol warming and dry finish. Nice to try but probably wont try again.
