At the brewery. Dark brown, thin bubbly head. On the nose, soft toffee, touch of molasses. Soft body, sweeter example to be sugar, with some simple dark sugars, and a quick sweet finish. Low alcohol. Doesn’t have the power of a true Baltic, though the malt character aligns with some of the simpler examples. There’s a lot to like here, actually, if you stop looking for classic Baltic porter character.

Draught at the brewery
Dark, almost black, with compact beige aroma. Mild aroma of dark caramel and dark fruits. Good body strength, lightly sweet, flavor of dark caramel with delicate Lager esters, and low bitterness.
Quite simple, but clean. Good Baltic Porter.

On tap at Powell, pours a red-tinged deep dark brown with a small beige head. Aroma brings out moderate roast, light coffee and a touch of dry cocoa. Flavour is similar, with plenty of coffee and cocoa notes upfront, along with some toasted malt. Not particularly complex and a bit too sweet, but it works well together.
