Feb 20, 2008 What an awesome porter! Basically black in color, opaque, started off with a very modest dark brown head but it quickly amounted to nothing more than just a little rim around the edge of the glass, very little lacing left on the glass either, but that’s where the shortcomings end, everything else about this beer is outstanding, the nose is full of licorice, toffee, caramel, dark chocolate & espresso, the body was near perfect, it wasn’t too heavy & it certainly wasn’t too light, the texture was smooth & sensual, had almost a velvet feeling, the flavors were intense & delicious, up front I tasted more toffee, a littl e hint of licorice, dark roasted coffee & chocolate, the back of the flavors had subtle hints of caramel, more toffee and a just a touch of alcohol, this 22 oz bomber was gone in less than ten minutes, this is truely a satisfying & delicious beer, most likely the best porter I’ve ever tasted

Jan 31, 2008 Deep, rich, full flavored stout/porter. Has a interesting mouthfeel, smooth and silky, but robust and somewhat chewy. Rich stout flavors, but not much chocolate. Actually I found the lack of noticeable chocolate undertones aI nice mark of distinction.
I have never had a "Baltic porter" before, but I must say it is really a accomplishment for any palate to notice the difference between this style and the imperial style. Regardless of labeling - what we have here is a great beer. It was worth the wait!

Jan 30, 2008 I would go out of my way to drink this again - ESPECIALLY if on tap at the Brick Store in Decatlanta, GA. Great dark, roasted coffee quality, some very dry chocolate notes - but absolutely purged of sweetness. Very relaxing. Moderately smoky.

May 5, 2008 Sampled from a 22 oz brown bottle this beer poured a very dark brown color with a large dark tan head. The aroma was a nice mix of sweet chocolate, vanilla and caramel. The flavor was a rich and complex mix of sweet malty chocolate, vanilla and licorice with a lightly bitter roasty middle and a long sweet chocolate & licorice finish. The mouthfeel was amazingly silky and smooth for not being overly thick. Remarkable.
