Pour is a black with a large tan head. Aroma is a nice chocolate and roasted malt. Flavor is a equally nice roasted malt with a bakers chocolate. Finish is smooth with a touch of alcohol. Should a baltic porter be 9.5%? Decent beer and on the cheap side to boot.

Bottle. Pours a dark brown color with an off-white foam head. Aroma of chocolate and roast with a hint of vanilla and a muted metallic aroma. Sweet caramel taste with nice roast, slight bitter, and a very slight metallic taste. I think it’s the combination of the bitter and malt. But it does taste off a pinch. Light to medium mouthfeel.

Bottle. Black colour with a beige head. Moderate sweet toffe malty aroma with some fruity notes. A deep and smooth flavour with toffe, chocolate, roasted malt and some fruity notes. Well hidden alcohol.

Aroma of raisins, figs, and slight ginger. Pours deep brown and clean with a medium fizzy head. Tastes of dark fruits with a slight roasty spice to it. Very clean and not overbearing in hops or roast and no sign of its high alcohol. A pleasant change from Zywiec’s other showings. This is a gulpable porter which is pretty dangerous at 9.5%

Bottle. Pours a deep reddish black with a firm head that lingers. The flavor is heavy roasted malt with some alcohol burn and smoky overtones. Some initial bitterness that fades quickly. Very strong. OK overall.

Pours a jet black. Seriously, I can’t see through this beer. It has a brown head. Aroma is of sweet chocolate, roasted malts and bitter brownness. Taste is roast, sweet dark malts and asphalt. This is a super bargain price for this beer. Very good Baltic porter.
