Bomber share @ SHAPE NFL Fantasy Draft. Thanks Steven. Bottled 12/18/2012. Brune foncée, col crémeux café au lait et doré au verre. Arôme offre un bouquet épais au niveau malté, retrouve as mal de chocolat, le tout gardant un léger rétro fruité noir/rouge. Palais est maté également assez épais, caramel dont les 10% se font bien sentir. Le tout reste sec, petite touche rappelant le tourbé et une fin de bouche réchauffante. Pas grand chose en terme houblonné amertume mais un côté fruité noir indique que l’on est bien dans un style baltique. Reste néanmoins assez basique dans son style avec un penchant fort axé sur les malts.

Reviewed from notes. This was received in a trade.
This was poured into a nonic pint glass and a snifter.
There wasn’t any difference between the two glasses.
The appearance was a fairly decent dark brown to black color with a one finger white foamy head that dissipated within less than a minute gracing the glass with some fairly nice clinging lacing in a spider web fashion.
The smell had a good about of licorice, light coffee, light milk chocolate with some booziness swirling around together underneath my nose.
The taste was sweet and boozy around the chocolate, coffee and alcohol. There was a light sticky boozy chocolate aftertaste and a dry coffee/chocolatey finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a medium on the body with more of a sipper’s type of quality to it. The carbonation seemed fairly light, but that’s okay, its nothing that was bad.
Overall, what a nice Baltic Porter I would have again.

Bottle from Cotteridge Wines, Birmingham. Nearly black. Espresso top coloured, thin, tight, lasting head. Light coffee. Liquorice. Cocoa powder. Some granary bread. Taste is dark chocolate sweet. Some hazelnut paste. After that, loads of well done bread bitterness. Thick, oily, chocolate palate. Fudgy sweetness on the finish, soon followed by a big, charred bitterness. A beer of two halves. Stupid easy to drink.

66cl Bottle at Beer Temple. Black colour, khaki-brown head. Aroma is quite sweet, molasses/treacle, sweet chocolate, pumpernickel, roasted malts, hint of coffee. Flavour is quite sweet at first as well, roasted malts, treacle, pumpernickel, laurel, chocolate, firm roasted bitter finish with some hops. Full-bodied, slick, sticky. A little too sweet imho, but quite nice as well.
