12 ounce bottle from Brennan’s Brookfield. Dark brown, large foamy tan head, good retention. Aroma of roasted malt, chocolate, berries. The taste is vanilla, chocolate, roast, nuts. Medium bodied. Nice.

Bottle courtesy of HuskerTan, thank you. Opaque dark brown color, big beige head with good retention. Aroma of cocoa powder, coffee grounds, nutella. Taste is rich and roasty chocolate dipped in espresso. Not sure this is your classic Baltic porter, but it’s tasty.

Bottle. A- Chocolate syrup, cocoa, subtle soy sauce, subtle vanilla. A- Black color, black liquid, light brown head. T- Anise, alcohol, cocoa, roasty, slightly dry. P- Full body, average texture, average carbonation, roasty finish. O- I’ve been hit or miss with Millstream but this one nailed it. Solid balanced beer with tons of chocolate and a nice balance of roastiness, some anise, and a little alcohol bite, but nothing that hurts it. Quite tasty.

12oz bottle. Opaque brown-black body. Foamy, glass-rimming beige head. Rich chocolate caramel aroma, deep malt tones...pretty nice. Sweet and full bodied, with a little trace of heat under the big chocolate tones. Remains full drinkable despite being full bodied, Has some interesting fruity undercurrents. Pretty solid beer overall.

This was decent. Black of course, with standard Baltic porter flavors and some ash. A little anise flavor. Medium palate. I applaud their attempt at this uncommon style.

Bottle @ home, courtesy of pepsiedcan. Thanks for the chinchill bronnust bottle, brah! Pours a deep brown appearance with a thin dark brown head. Burnt sugar, dark chocolate, light toffee, slight anise, slight fruity aroma. Kind of goopy and coats the teeth. Black licorice, brown sugar, plum flavor. Millstream had a good thing going with their German beers and it just seems like they’re flushing it down the shitter with all this stuff that they don’t know how to brew.
